Uh...it's 'duck'.

This is a Duke:




And tsk, tsk...jealousy is so unbecoming.

Which is the more 'complete tool': someone that doesn't need to impress anyone but themselves--or someone that believes everything they see in American media? Hmmm?

Though I must agree on one point...

actually he's good friends with Keith Code, has done his school quite a few times along with some trackdays (some private days from what I've heard) and rides quite often.

I'm not a fan either, but he doesreally ride...

on a related note, the Tom Cruise/Scientology episode of South Park is one of my favorite, right up there with the "Na Na Na Na Na Na, I made you eat your Parents!" episode

If you can, you MUST buy The DESMOSEDICI...
Do you know that with this bike your lap time is only 8 second far from MOTO GP?
That's a special bike.

If you can ride it. My lap times would probably still come up 15 seconds short.

I would love a bike like that. I hope he has the skills to make good use of it. I ain't hate'n on the man, just say'n that ain't the bike you ride unless you got the skills to ride like it like you stole it.

Loris Capirossi has someone to hold the bike up for him when he mounts/dismounts - I wonder what Tom with his short legs is gonna do ? Does the thing have a sidestand he can kick out at traffic lights, or will it be "Mission impossible 4" he he ? Still, if I ever had that kinda money, I'd buy two Ten Kate Hondas at 210HP each, and have change.. ...

Tom Cruise is very capable on a bike, I saw a MTV special on him about 5 years ago, he had a few Ducatis and a couple of Ninjas to lend out to guests. My guess is he has a few MV Agustas F4 Sennas he uses to go get diapers with when the limo is being washed.

I personally think the desmosedici rr is by far the most desirable and advanced street bike for its time to come out EVER. I would personally want nothing more than that bike. Pure performance wrapped in a tastefull shell.
