so this happened to a friend of mine today

Got bored, went out for a ride to get some lunch.
sitting at a stoplight a riced out early 2000's Honda Civic pulls up next to me..
I assume his friend behind him in a rsx pulls up as well.. they both start revving obnoxiously
dude in the civic with all I can assume is his GF in the passenger seat rolls down the window and said hey man whats that thing put down... I said 195hp.
he laughed then asked to race.. I laughed... the light turned green.. the dude drops the clutch and stalls it.. his dude behind him in the rsx ... rear ends him.
I cruise off almost falling off my bike from laughing so hard

the yellow 748 at the end of this group shot is mine

The Panigale looks so much better in white than the traditional red. I suppose you'd have it in yellow though haha.

I would love to be there just to laugh my ass off.

Unfortunately, I ride a Honda Hornet.

That has to be the greatest story ever. It's also saddening that your friends bike has almost double the hp of my car.

I don't know why I want a Ducati so much. Probably for things like this.

How bad is the maintenance on those?

It can be rough compared to other Japanese bikes, which make it look easy. DIY is not too tough though

This reminds me of a time I went to McDonalds with one of my friends who also drives a riced out Civic. We pull up to the drive through, get out food and he tries to peel out to impress the girl at the window. He shouts "KEEP IT TRILL" while redlining, drops the clutch, and stalls his car. I nearly died from laughter.
