I've owned my Panigale for a week and a half, and to be honest it's getting pretty annoying owning a pretty red Ducati. Everywhere I go people want to stop me and talk about the bike for 5-10 minutes, usually people who know nothing about bikes so they want ALL the details like a bunch of ....... paparazzi. I was riding downtown the other night, waiting at a light I see a flash in my peripheral, look left and see another flash, someone from the sidewalk was taking pictures of me! LOL
Ditto. I have had mine two weeks - most gas stops are an event. Fortunately, most of my riding is out on country roads and most gas is in small towns. To a point I really don't mind. The ones that annoy me are "kids" about 18-20 years old (I think - I'm so damn old that everyone looks like a teenager). They want to share stories about what God awful fast bike their brother has that they have ridden on the back of.
