JAPANESE DUCATI?

Ducati motorcycles have a very distinctive sound. Like a smooth rolling rumble. To Ducati fans, including your correspondent, it's a sound so lovely, you turn and drool every time you hear it. So tonight, watching the movie Yes Man, I was pissed when Jim Carrey jumps on the Ducati and roars off to the sound of a highly tuned four cylinder Japanese motorcycle.

You'd think with the massive amount of money it takes putting together a Hollywood movie someone would get the sound of the motorcycles right. Just imagine if they had a Harley in the movie and it sounded like a BMW - You would piss off hundreds of thousands of Harley owners.

Aside from the f...ed up sound effects it was a pretty good movie.
