Awww man---Tom Cruise/Ducati?????
Quote:
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Tom Cruise is the first on the list to get Ducati's newest motorcycle — a $72,500 superbike bristling with titanium, magnesium and carbon fiber technology that can scoot up to 200 mph.

Cruise is scheduled to take delivery of the Desmosedici RR at Beverly Hills Ducati this week. Only 1,500 of the red-and-white Moto GP racing replica motorcycles will be made and Cruise gets the first.

Michael Lock, chief of Cupertino-based Ducati North America, said the Desmosedici RR "is the impossible dream — made possible."

"We are delighted to be able to deliver the world's first production unit here in the USA to Tom Cruise, who is a well-known Ducati enthusiast," Lock said in a statement.

Makes me sick.....fvcker......

and 10 years after, Ducati gets a 200mph motorcycle.

I wouldn't ride it that fast... but there it is.

it's because he spoke to the bike with his mind. I think he's like a level 46 wizard in Scientology and they can do that

Even negative press is press just the same. If you want the world to get away from Tom Cruise, don't draw attention to him by hating him. Scientologists either...there are many people out there who are dumb enough to be drawn to a religion just because everyone else hates it.

This is a non-story. Let Tom Cruise jump up and down on his couches and proclaim his love for Xenu if it makes him happy. The less attention you give him, the more likely he is to go away.

Soon as they see one person say they'll be fine, they go get it. Sometimes we see a post a month later "I wrecked my bike", sometimes nothing.

+1 you're only adding negative fetons into the air anyone happen to see the south park w/ scientology? is that what they really have based their religion on?

Sadly enough (from what I understand) it really isn't too far off...

Personally other than his over-zealous attitude I think he's an alright actor, but he does get old once in a while...

The basis of scientology is that aliens from outer space came here and started life on this planet.

Not really much more far fetched than the other religious ideas is it?
