Tom Cruise to take delivery of 1st Ducati Desmosedici RR

[Old Michael]

The bike was... interesting. Very interesting.I loved that engine.

... it was special.

... handled so sweetly.

Did I mention that I loved that engine?

... some beautiful time... Primping it. Lovingly changing its timing belts .... massaging the desmodromic valves...

It wasn't comfortable for me, and I'm pretty sure it was equally uncomfortable for my little Duke.

Uh, nice post Brother Fred.

I like porn.

Uh, nice post Brother Fred. I like porn.

Porn? That read more like a woman's romance novel. He just forgot to describe the Duck's flowing blonde locks hanging over the heaving masculine chest. :blink:

I wouldn't know about that. havinh never read a woman's romance novel.

So which ones did you say this was like?

Uh, I was just guessing... yeah, yeah, that's it, just guessing.

Suddenly, I feel the need to go post something masculine.

Y'know, whether people like TOm Cruise buy these bikes for eye-candy, occassional pleasure or just because they can, just doesn't matter. Because they buy them it brings notoriety to the makers/manufacturers like Ducati and other "more exotic" brands and they build more of them.

Its better for all enthusiasts, those who ride them and observers like me. So if importers get some mileage out of using him as the "first" delivery in North America, more power to the marketing people for getting the publicity.

MM2, I'm all for manufacturers using celebs to push their wares. I'm just against TC. He's a total turd of a human being and a talentless, over-rated hack of an actor. But other than that...

Yes, perhaps...but I'm glad to see someone using him to further themselves rather than being used by him. Motorcyclists aren't necessarily "fans" of his person or fame but of the bikes, so they'd be less interested in, or mesmerized by, his normal and habitual, nebulous, self-indulgent, narcissistic, specious and circular spiel.

He'll probably have to ride pillion with fellow Scientologist Keith Code driving, like he has to have an instructor with him in his P-51! :yahoo:

Oh gawd! not Keith Code too...

freaks

I'm sidin' with MM2 on the personality part, but what I wonder about is how Triumph feel about this publicity, as they supplied the bikes for the MI franchise. And I'm not even suggesting they are in the same solar quadrant (Duc and Trumpet). I mean I can only imagine how the KTM dude felt with the Long Way Aground thang which netted BMW a whole bunch of sales. All in all though , its prolly good for bikes in general. Jest my .02.

Blessings,

Bobby

10-4 on the Kieth Code deal.

A pal of mine took his track class and said it was the worst money he'd ever spent, seeing that most of the class was about "spiritual Scientology" techniques.

To each his own, but if I sign up for a class, just teach me to ride. Coup?
