LOL!!!! btw. where do people get the "your tires are bald / you need new tires" idea from? I really don't understand..can't people see the tread? I don't get what the difference is besides different designs..unless I'm just a complete tire noob.

I had some girl ask me if my bike was for girls...because it's white. What? -_-

Nobody has asked me an annoying question because i like talking about my bike.
But really, i haven't had anyone on the street aproach me about my bike.
I rode a dual sport for 5 years, and built my cbr last summer.
I get all kinds of good and bad questions/comments/concerns about my dirtbike.

WOW!! This is an old thread. Here is something that always makes me wonder about the intelligence of some people.

"Man! How fast does that thing go?" (Then they look at the speedometer.)
"185!! Wow!"


It makes me want to tell them that I am going to put a speedo that says 200mph on it next week so it should be much faster then.

You walk into work with all the gear on to the"You on the Bike today" statement...
Mobile phone txts from the misses"Did you ride to work.....?" "Yeah ,its pretty f**king hard to txt & ride"...... i txt back in reply..........

"Guys at work asking one another"Do you reckon he will let us ride it....." ? WTF?

Probably because most sport tires have no tread in the very center like cars do.
