Who here is into bikes??? Just got my first one

I've toyed with the idea of buying a bike before but none of my family members/girlfriend will let me.

My girlfriend's father owns an 07 Suzuki Boulevard 700 and rides around like the big bafoon that he is on it, making my girlfriend and her mom worried sick about him all the time.
It also breaks down a lot, which seems weird to me, since it can't have very high mileage.

If I were to buy a bike though, it would have to be a Ducati 996.
Those bikes are just incredibly sweet looking.
