Been looking at some Ducati 999 and starting to like the look of them...and really like the look of the price for what you get...about to start to save up for one over the next few months...until I saw this...

EDIT: title of video is "Ducati Dance"

Bwwwwaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha - I laughed so much that I cried....

But seriously - YES! Doesn't every Ducati Owner dance like that? Mine is similar except I am lower to the ground, and I limp a lot...... :banana: :banana:

You have got to love the combination of tinted visors and youtube - makes people step up and do silly things! :niceone:

Nice garage btw...

I thought of that, but it's wrong for two things:

a- way too limber to be the DMNTD One...:shifty:

b- Wrong bike

But it's definitely the same sense of humour :laugh: (related somehow maybe?)

I do that everytime I go out to the garage, not quite so elegantly though I must say, I always trip over something and manage to faceplant:pinch:.
Its actually a ritual dance to celebrate that my bike actually started up:niceone: :2thumbsup:wari:

There is an amazing one of a guy dancing in his living room with all his gear on, when his flatmate comes home and busts him, and joins in, it's amazing, but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called.

Found the video, (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=38443&highlight=dance+biker) but it appears to have been disabled. LAME.

Oh dear, You have obviously sussed my kryptonite. The best way for me to know if I should go home is either dancing or kareoke. Once they seem like reasonable activities to undertake, I know that I should have left half an hour ago. The good news for all involved is that I am taking a break from my good friend alcamahol. There will be no Aprilia dance from Clivoris.

I love the original Rave Biker video. Priceless with the flatmate coming home and then putting on his helmet, joining the fray.

It is easy to see how hard it is to dance while laughing hard...

A thought for raves: Crash helmets, when you fall over at the end due to exhaustion and dehydration you won't break your skull.

Oh, I'm not too worried. I don't dance. :oi-grr:

Besides I usually drink enough not to care about being hydrated - until the morning that is. <_<

Anyway, I do...and I used to go to raves, but admitedly that was a long time ago (crap, I feel old all of a sudden...)

Oh and beer (or any alcohol for that matter) plays against you in the hydration game :bleh:

I still reckon we need to have a major KB biker rave :devil2:

Yes, yes it does.
When you buy a new Ducati you get a "How To Do The Ducati Dance" DVD with it.

As old as my bikes are I was lucky enough that they still had the original videos with them.

Actually the 888 video was on VHS and was to the music of Daft Punk and the Darmah one was on 16mm film and was to the music of Boney M "Hooray, Hooray It's A Holi Holi-day".

The steps have evolved since too I see.

What is it with guys and not dancing? :rolleyes:

Well, I was being slightly economical with the truth. I do dance, and I do enjoy it - but I prefer live music, preferably funk or rock'n'roll.
Fun to try dancing to fusion, it's pretty near impossible...

I haven't been to a rave though. Generally electronica doesn't do it for me - although there are some tunes that makes the feet move by themselves I have to admit.

Oh and beer (or any alcohol for that matter) plays against you in the hydration game :bleh:

EVIL LIES! This is typical evil propaganda spread by the PC mind-fuck machine that is modern society. :angry2:
Everyone knows that alcamahol will make you feel better - at anytime. In fact, if you feel dehydrated it's because you haven't had enough of it!

:cry:
Poor Roxette, they have never hurt anyone, why molest a perfectly good pop song like that?

There was a European dance group that did a cover of a ToTo song - can't remember which one right now - and it was terrible. Still, ToTo was having a laugh at a concert about how much money they had made of the royalties from that cover. That kinda made it alright...

Nope - you can't ;) They were huge. I still reckon they made some of the best pop music from the 90s.

They are from Sweden though.

Sweden != Denmark;

V, I hope you have got a set of fisheye glasses, otherwise your field of view won't be big enough. :yes:

Isn't that you Mikkel?
