The Tormenting Monster!

The Ducati Monster: One bike which I was confused whether or not to buy.

The TYPICAL paradox about choices and how men deal with it?

Perhaps you do remember that old joke, A man gifting 10,000 Rs to 5 women as a test to check which woman he should marry.

The first one, saves the money in a FD, stating that it would be used for their future

The second one, saves the money in Gold, stating it would help them in future and appreciate much faster

The third one, spends it on a holiday ticket for the guy, stating he deserves it

The fourth one, invests it on the share market, after some quick research, makes a clear profit of Rs. 550,000! and invests it for their future

The fifth one, spends the money for a makeover for the guy stating she should look worthy for him

Guess whom does the man select… well that’s for later, but such was the choice in choosing between the one you lust for, or for the one you deem practical! The more you think, the more it confused. The more it confused, the more you start linking petty everyday thoughts with it!

But Alas, these thoughts just continue to exhaust you in confusion!

The thought process was simple:

Why the Ninja?

1. It is so much practical for Indian conditions

2. It has a wider service network than ANY big bike seller in India

3. It enjoys a better supply of spares

4. It enjoys somewhat proven credibility of BAL-Kawasaki IN INDIA and in INDIAN conditions

Why the Ducati:

I F*CKING LOVE IT!

One pure rational choice, one pure emotional choice. History has revealed, that apart from these being two different sides of the human brain, they never ever let the other one win. Every time you reassure your Emotion with rational reason all it takes is that bloody recall of emotion. Remember your first break up, how the world clarifies on WHY the match was never destined, and then you burst into this turmoil by just a simple recall of HOW MUCH YOU LOVED HIM/HER!

I delayed taking my Ninja 650R delivery to wait and see what the new Monster would be, but alas the kind folks at Ducati India had little info on when the bike would be here. A lot of brain washing ensured I fall for something which was practical (and I have no qualms about that) but now the Monster works up its same old tormenting way!

While I am still running in my brand new Kawasaki Ninja 650R, all it took was one lousy word of recall of how much I lust for it for me to be writing this blog entry!

They passionate Italians throw up a contest for a free Ducati Monster! Almost as if they want to torment ME!

Like they say in Italy: Quella destinata per te, nessuno la prenderà
