ducati owners are posers?

Yeah...although I consider coffee shop riders to be part of any brand. There are two types of riders, those that take the highway straight to Starbucks, and those that take the riding roads to Starbucks. The reality is, just about everyone who rides a bike stops for a coffee/snack/break.

Correction, 3 types of riders, the 3rd is the kind that has his bike tucked away in the garage and drives to the coffee shop to meet his friends. LOL

LOL. I know a few of those and don't understand why they even have a bike!
 
Poser? Maybe. I'm certainly not the fastest rider out there. I'm not the most bad arse rider either. I've been riding street bikes since I was 16. Dirt since I was a kid. I don't do bike nights and I don't drink coffee but I wouldn't use my 1199 as a daily commuter either. I have owned it for less than 24 hours now yet plan on using it for fun rides and some track days. I have a commuter bike so why put unnecessary miles on such an expensive bike? Maybe if I were super rich I wouldn't care. As I can only afford the one 1199 I would prefer to keep the milage manageable. Not all Duc owners are mega wealthy ballers.
 
Im sorry guys but I can't believe a thread is being wasted on this. I don't care is someone rides 10 miles a week or a thousand. If he has 1, 2, 3 or 4 bikes. Ducati, Honda or HD. It doesn't matter. If you ride on two wheels, it's all good and I'll ride with you anytime:)

Exactly - it should have started with what a poser is. Very few people, I know of none, bought a Ducati just to "pose" on it. Whatever that means.

I think me, Duc, knutts and Gunny meeting up at a Starbucks Tuesday night and parking right in front of it constituted posing. If that's what posing is I kinda thought it was fun. Sure beats burning my legs to pieces commuting. :)

Like many others I have multiple ducs, I do around 20k miles a year on bikes as that's my chief means of transport (except the rare times I borrow the wife's car)

I bought my streetfighter new in 2010 and have 22000 miles on it.

BTW> one of our local bike shops (japanese almost exclusively) started a bike nite, Our local ducati riding group, small but four of us showed up on our ducs even in the midst of rain storms. only one or two japanese bikes showed the rest drove in !
 
I'm not entirely convinced this event ever happened as no photographic evidence has been put forward! ;)

I can pretty much sum it up. Gunny looks exactly like you would expect somebody called "Gunny" to look - kinda like R. Lee Ermey, but younger and stockier. Knutts looks kinda like Guillermo Diaz (of Weeds and Half Baked fame). Duc looks like a Seattle guitarist circa 1992. I look almost exactly like someone ripped off Brad Pitt's head and stuck it on Georges St. Pierre's body.

Yup, that about sums it up without any photos needed.
 
gosh I hope Gunny doesn't have R.Lee Ermey's eyebrows, those things are so big they have their own zipcode! ;)

You nailed it. He looks like two ferrets took up residence on his forehead. He has to remove the front pad in his helmet just to fit them in and if they fall down they obstruct his view. I tried to explain that he can get threading done at the mall, but he just looked at me funny...like he wanted to kill me.

You are so lucky you lived through that meeting - I would've been taken out by a sniper shortly thereafter.
