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.

After this comment, I would start varying your commute, and keep your shades drawn if I were you.

Duc looks like a Seattle guitarist circa 1992. I look almost exactly like someone ripped off Brad Pitt's head and stuck it up Georges St. Pierre's ....

Yup, that about sums it up without any photos needed.

What the hell??
 
What is a poser anyway.

I ride for fun and have 4K miles on my Diavel in 4 months. I love it so much I have my name on an R. Doing a test ride Saturday and can't wait...

This is just my opinion, but Ducs are a luxury purchase for most owners, which means they tend to ride them for pleasure more than necessity. We also tend to have more than one bike in our stable. All equate to lower mile bikes.

I agree. I have two other bikes that I typically ride on my longer Saturday rides. Then again, my Panigale is three weeks old and I'll probably hit 1000 miles this weekend. And during the past three weeks I've also put about 700 miles on my other two bikes.

No posing going on here :D
 
Your a real poseur if you have one in the garage, and the only km's you are doing is back and forth from the coffee shop in full Ducati attire, this includes full outhere Ducati jacket, ducati tshirt, ducati pants, ducati boots and Ducati undies (or entirely ducati branded but no actual saftety gear) and then sit at the coffee shop (must be in a crowded spot)while whatching everyone look at your bike and letting them make the connection between you and the bike. While everyone is looking you stand up walk over and start talking .... while dropping the name of every brand you can think of and every racer and pointing at random Ducati parts that you have no idea about. Like pointing at the termi sticker(it must have termi's because you need the extra 3hp) while uttering such useful phrases like "the horse torques on the Brembo steering wheel is amazing, it's like the my Porsche canine that Valentino Rossi uses everyday". A portrait of a true poseur.

why is anyone worrying about anyone else....... you do you, and I'll do me. I wouldn't care if you had 20 Ducatis sitting in a garage ...... good for you, everyone is different and has different lives. I read these posts and wonder why or how people are thinking about trading in a brand new Panigale for an upgrade to a an S or R when they just bought the dam thing and that money could be spent wiser.... but thats just me. some people piss diamonds for a living and some of us are just happy to have the bike and ride it..... worry about yourself

Absolutely right... However think we just trying to get a definition of a poseur. Not that there's anything wrong with that :)

Come to think of it... I define myself as a poser just because I have a 195hp bike and ride around on public roads. I like to call it the indefensible, serves absolutely nothing practical other than for my personal selfishness and self fulfilment :)

That's hilarious! But, how do you know what underwear I have on?
 
Here in Colorado, a motorcycle rich area, I really don't think I'd qualify too many people as a poser. Now squids, that's a different story. And I can safely say I have not yet seen a squid on a Panigale. I guess if you can't afford boots, pants jacket or helmet for you or the girl you have on back, you can't afford one. And sorry to burn anybody here who has one, but the GSXR seems to be the most common here for the tank-top, flip-flop, no-helmet-wearing, hot-head adolescent. So much so my wife and I now refer to it the Douchbagger 750 (though only if being ridden by the above-described moron).

we have no helmet law here. people think of a helmet as something uncomfy, especially during summertime. there are a lot of posers saturday nights on main street, but luckily any ducatis... same for squids.
