more proof why some people should not drive cars...
motorcycling is a big part of my life, you can see by the way i talk about it here, or by the pictures i capture, that my love for the sport and industry is profound. wherever i go i do my best to be an ambassador to the world of motorcycling, trying to bridge the gap between the enthusiast and the common auto driver who dosent know a XR50 from a DESMOSEDICCI.
i love photography, its one way to gain access to bikes and girls, a way to meet new friends and such. in the last couple of years i have been learning CG art and animation. its a fun way to learn something, without the empty guilt feeling that follows hours of video game play. one side affect of CG art is the endless search for props and models(figures or autos), it can become addicting. one area that is seemingly ignored is the bike segment, which motorcyclists are a minority, the general population are seemingly ignorant of one vehicle to the next. can the average "RICK" off the street tell the difference between a GSXR1000 or a CBR1000RR? i seriously doubt it, its just a bike? lots of plastic and thingies right?
now imagine my delight to hunting one day, and coming across a DUCATI QUAD prop, my nipples went hard with delight, now i have something i can stick on my monitor at work and everyone else will be jealous. you see, i am the only ducati owner at work, and in part of our facility we build atv exhausts. so this would have been "over the top" and something i would display proudly. now anyone with an ounce of smarts knows ducati does not, and most likely will never build a quad, but if somebody made a model mash i could be very happy. nope, sit down little man, its not a ducati...
after 2 seconds a realize its only ducati in name and not substance, so i post a thanks for the model, but explain in a very nice "chat tone" that the model is not a ducati, at least not the motor as that is the only thing ducati you can stick on an atv or utv for that matter, and i have seen it done before, just not in this example. i am immediately criticized for being critical, and its just a prop 3d vehicle, which tells me the person typing that statement is obviously not an enthusiast or rides a BMW, hahahaha. so i post that i do appreciate the model, no argument there, it simply is not a DUCATI QUAD. so now the world turns a day or 2 and i get another critical post about my critical post? this guy goes a bit further, in fact telling me to "pick the bone out of my ass" in his reply. wow, this guy has tact. i explain that i wasnt being critical so much as just wanting accuracy, and that perhaps doing some education that might help him understand. nope, it made him post something very disturbing... according to rick68, i am 1 out of 1 million people & i am some guy his daddy warned him about when he was but a wee lad, very disturbing indeed.
posted below is the actual chat, my typo included, i will post a link to the item article at the shareCG site, so that you may view it there for yourselves, i will note however that the name of the prop has since been changed to "DIRT QUAD", and ths "RICK" is the only person, so far, who wants to drag it on.
as an ambassador, i have failed with this moron...

rick, why attack me? why be accurate with autos and not bikes or quads? post a model of an AK47 and call it a colt 1911 45ACP & see what peoplae say. why are ignorant people the first & worse at attacking those who have knowledge? its funny how many days you can spend doing research yet not find the truth? was your father speaking of you? stop attacking me, once and for all, educate yourse …
Rick68 (yesterday)
After spending a few days doing research, I found that 999,999 out of 1,000,000 people are not as critical. So there you have it, you are without question 1 in a 1,000,000. My father always said," There's one in every crowd."

no bone to pick, ducati simply dosent make quads, sorry? i for one was saddened to see that a "ducati" engine was not in a quad chassis. if i post a prop of a toyota 4x4 and call it a moon landing fiat spider, somebody will say something. again great prop, not a ducati, rick68 do some research, ok?

Talk about a serious bone to pick! Try picking the one out of your arse for starters seeing as how you(GearBoy) seem to be so anal. Not everything is meant to fit so, enjoy what is offered or walk on!

ducati does not make a quad, that would be like me posting a mustang and calling it a toyota. aside from that it is a great model, and he does great work. this vehicle is not a ducati, and that is important. ive worked 15 years in the ducati business, sorry if i am picky, i currently work for a large atv exhaust company... no hard feelings?
