It's not decorating. This is a 215SF studio in Brooklyn - that's the "parking included" feature of the listing. And he's paying an extra $1200 a month for the privilege.

I definitely wouldn't feel like it's going to fall on me. Not at all.

You sound just like his ex!

I’m scared for the cat. He deserves whatever happens but the cat doesn’t.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

How do you know the cat didn't hang the bike?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Lack of opposable thumbs. Plus he prefers Kawasaki bikes.

Command hooks never fail!

The legendary superbike of Damocles.

Yeah, hanging up something weighing 2000 lbs over my couch is how I achieve relaxation and bliss.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 2 years ago

That's more like the weight of a small car. The motorcycle probably weighs in the ballpark of 400-500 lbs.

Still far too much weight to hang from the (assuming) 2x4 wall studs behind the drywall there. Also probably quite a hassle to get down when you need to ride it and when you come back home to re-mount it on the wall.

Tons of old Ducati super sport motorcycles end up as decorations that will never touch the street or track ever again because maintaining them makes no sense...

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah if you manage to get it hanging safely, how will it ever be anything else than decoration? It's not a 20 lbs racing bike.

For it to be usable you would need some mechanism to raise and lower it, and then the decoration aspect will go.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Wonder if it’s mostly been gutted and is literally just decoration.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago

It's a Ducati 912, it weighs 429lbs and that's on the heavy side of sport bikes.

Even the Boss Hoss which has a V8 from a Corvette is only 1100lbs.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Lmao 429lbs dry but close enough 🤷‍♂️

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I was scared about my projector dropping on my head, having a whole ass motorcycle there would put me off sitting on my couch entirely lmao

Anyone willing to do this cannot have the intelligence to secure it properly.

Feel for the small animal on the couch looking back at it worryingly.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

The cat's looking forward FWIW

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Looks like a dog looking back

[-] [email protected] 29 points 2 years ago

You got to have some admiration for whoever screwed in the bolts that hold the bike up.

This is how thoughts and prayers is supposed to work.

Now, let's see how this plays out.

Holy shit that's genius. The coffee has been giggle dribbled down my chin.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I first thought this must be a real to scale plastic model, but it looks real.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago

That's a Darwin Award waiting to happen !

Now the entire apartment smells like oil, gas and other carcinogenic chemicals.

They're not called aromatics for nothing.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

As a gearhead myself, sounds good to me.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Does he take it off the wall every morning to go to work

If it had Pamela Anderson painted on the side I would believe this is Jason Mendoza's bud hole.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Wtf is it with lemmy users and taking things completely literal?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I like how the wheels spin when it’s mounted in the wall. Gotta go fast

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

But can you ride it though?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Even if it wasn't on the wall, seeing how it's an old Ducati, no.

Edit for those who don't know: Maintenance on old Ducati, especially sports bikes with desmo engines, is a total pain in the ass and is so expensive that it just doesn't make sense to ride the bikes. Thousands of dollars every 10k km kind of expensive...
