Since buying my bike, the list of stupid things people have said to me has grown exponentially. So how bout we share a few... To start:

"Are you having fun yet?" - My girlfriend every day for the 1st 2 weeks before I got the bike running (I could prolly make an entire list of my gf's stupid questions but that'd be overkill)

"You're putting an alarm on THAT?!?" - My neighbor apparently deluded that it'll always be 2 tone Rattlecan Yellow and sound like crap

"That thing weighs more than you do!" - Idiot at the office, not realizing a motorcycle better damn well weigh more than any healthy human being

"Let me take it around the lot" - Another co-worker... necessary backstory: last year he was out for a month after highsiding his brand new, less than 100 miles gixxer

"Why wear that thing if you sweat that much?" Girl at the bar about wearing a leather riding jacket in the summer

"How bout keeping the colors?" - The 5' 3" stripper previous owner that paid $500 for a mismatched yellow rattlecan paintjob, $300 for a purple chain and $150 for a purple windscreen

Add what you can

 

Meh. I'm a chick in IT, with a bike, the only atheist of a homeschooled christian family, who lifts heavier than most guys. If I started complaining about the stupid things people say to me on a daily basis, let alone about the bike, I'd never stop

 

Yeah but I'm worried I'll have to replace my helmet soon from all the times I've banged my head against the gas tank

Another fave is a co-worker with an Impala asking me constantly when we're gonna race. He tries to race everyone with a new vehicle.

Last time I told him I didn't know of a long enough stretch of road that'll allow him to catch up

 

LOL @ banging head on the gas tank!

 

oh the list is so long.... where to start...

can I drive it?

Is it fast?

wanna race? from just about every chuckle head out there from an escort to a blazer. My usual answer is.... Well heck yeah!!!!.... go ahead and get started....... I'll leave in about 20 minutes to pass ya.

You know you have a headlight out? (doesnt happen anymore though)

I was gonna get a sportbike, but I wanted something fast... so I got a Sportster 1200. ... I still chuckle when I think of the douche that said that one to a group of us at a gas station.

Your bike is the best one there. A hot girl said to me as I stood next to my bike with a few friends... I thought she knew her bikes and was about to engage in what I thought was going to be a good conversation, until she continued and said.... I really like the orangy tires and orangy main part thingy of the bike.. yup.... she said orangy(several times), and main part thingy of the bike, and not orangy rims... but orangy tires.

do a wheelie... Right through main downtown with cops everywhere. Yep, I'm gona risk a 4 point ticket just to show some random douche that my bike will wheelie.

Man, you need to lower the bike to make it handle better. thats what I did.. Said some random gixxer rider with 2 inch chicken strips. and yes... it was chromed out too..

alright.. I guess thats it for now. even though there has been so many I can't remember half of them.

 

"You have a bike? Can I practice with it?" - Woman at the BRC today, right before she failed for the 4th time. She passed the figure 8 with ease and then dropped the bike during the quick stop

 

Greatest line I have ever heard. "Is that faster than a ninja?" I said well ninjas can run like what 35 tops so I could probably out run one but I don't know how fast those throwing stars can go.

 

Some of my favorites would be...

Do you know how to ride it? i replied with a blank dull look

Dude my GTI would keep up with you no joke!....At the next light his reply was i had problems shifting...Next light was yellow so i stopped and he wanted to do a cool fly by so he ran the light in a 4 way intersection as the light was red...THANK JESUS Mr. Cops light just turned green as he fly threw. i drove by about 5 blocks up and waved at him as i flew by him at a whooping 35mph.

Thats all i have got.

 

"dude you ride a hayabusa ? you must be a squidly douchebag"
"dude you ride a honda ? why dont you get a real bike"
"you have a 929/f4i/f3 ? why dont you get a 1k and stop being a bitch"
"lemme ride it!"
"how fast can that go?"
"you ever do a wheelie?"
and my personal favorite
"can i see your licence ,registration and proof of insurance please"

 

One of my web developer's has a civic and he said the same thing, so we did and he will never live it down have to remind him daily
