Wear your helmet drivinga car a few times and really screw with their heads.

Reminds me of'Office Space'. Every office has a few special 'geniuses', and hopefully
they aren't the boss.

Guys...guys,
they're only trying to start conversation/small talk about the bike.

Think of it as a sign of respect..they're acknoledging the fact that you ride... and want to be able to identify/bond with you.

In the "National Geographic" analisis style...

"The rest of the pack acknoledges tha status of the Alpha wolf..."

It reminds me of some of the idiot things I ask. My favorite thing that I ask when I see a friend in the grocery store is, "So, what are you doing?"
The appropriate response should be something like, "I'm having sex with your Mom right now...what do you think?"

I walked by some dude in a parking lot jamming a coat hanger into his door...I say, "man, you locked out of your car" he simply grins and says yea......I thought to myself..what a dumbass I am, what else was he doing?? Was he gonna say, "no jackass I'm stealing it and you don't remember me alright"I hope not anyway.
