I hate the "aren't you hot in that" and "how fast does it go/how fast have you had it goin'".
I hear those two almost every time I go out.
Another thing I've heard a couple times is "Looks like you need a new back tire, don't ya'?" (doesn't matter if the tire has 100miles on it)...lol
I had one guy ask me why I was putting 87 octane in it because according to him, "motorcycles won't run right without premium"...
Oh, I almost forgot about one from a little while back....
I was putting gas in my KLR650 one night and a random guy comes up and asks "what kinda bike is that?". I told him it was a KLR650 (which is printed right on the side of the dam bike...lol).
So he says "Is that the biggest one they make?"
I said "The biggest KLR they make".
So he says "You would think they'd make a 1000. That would be cool"
WTF?
I've also had a couple people ask me how fast the KLR will go. They always seem disappointed when I say "I don't know, I've had it up to about 90, but it's pretty wound out"
Like WTF do they expect? I should just start saying "Oh, it'll go 160mph easy" LOL..

hehe trout..i had a guy ask me what size is my yamaha XT200, i said its a 200 ...he said nope..they never made a 200... i said well ive got to be the luckiest guy in the world to have the olny xt 200 ...lol
Since my CBR doesn't have decals, I've had people assume it's a 600. When I tell them it's a 1000, I usually just get the "Really?"...... like I'm lying to them or something...
i also hate those people who always "has a friend" with something better then what you got. ha ha.
Me: "Ok. I'm happy for him. They're great bikes."
I mean WTF do they want me to say?? "OMFG REALLY!!?? He must be soooo badass!! And by association, you're a super cool badass, too!! Hell, I can't believe you're even talking to a loser like me!"

here's one for ya.
go into a fast food joint with full racing gear, helmet, & gloves and they ask you if it's for here or to go when you order a full meal. i normally respond with "really?" as i hold up my stuff. either that or i tell them my bike doesn't have a cup holder.

That's funny because I used to have a 750 Katana and ppl would ask me to pop a wheelie. But never on my other bikes. Maybe the Katana just looks like a wheelie machine to non-riders? lol

Oh yeah, that's a classic. "My buddy has a 1000RR".
Me: "Ok. I'm happy for him. They're great bikes."
