When I first saw this thread I didn't think I had anything to contribute..... until today. Apparantly there is a common aspect of stupidity going around, because I had the same experience that others have reported.

Filling my Buell 1125R, on the other side of the pump was a pickup with a quad in the bed (didn't notice what, I have no interest in quads).
Dude: Is that like a 'busa?
Me: No. Its a Buell.
Dude: Oh, yeah. It looked like a 'busa at first. I was thinking about getting a Buell. Is that a 4 cylinder?
(Missed my chance to point out how rare the 4 cylinder Buells are) Me: No, its a V-twin.
Dude: Oh. 'K, have a good ride.
Me: Thanks

"Back in the day" (OK, I'm dating myself here, it was 1977) I had a Ducati 750 GT (Bevel gears, valve springs, steel tank, "normal" handlebars, no fairing). Was asked at a gas station if it was made by Harley. Hard to imagine a time when Ducati was not a recognised name, isn't it?

Well that was before the internet and all sorts of biker TV shows existed,then there was also the Harley Italian connection heh heh.

I guess he likes skulls and bones....pirate?

(There was the cute 2 stroke 250 road race twins; I wanted one of those. But, I digress.)

Spoken loud enough for me to hear as I pull into the parking area at a Benfit Luncheon for a fallen rider.... "No, that's cool, as long as he's donating for the lunch, doesn't matter what bike he's riding"
Luncheon hosts = Desert Thunder MC

---------

At the Mickey D's drive thru.. "Um, how are you going to ride and eat?" "Do you need a drink carrier?"
If I had been feeling snarky, I guess I would have just said "I ride one handed", but alas, I missed that one and just told her I would put it all in my tank bag and eat when got to my destination. I don't think she'd ever seen a bike in the drive thru before.

UrfavNME · 06-15-2009, 06:20 AM

Of course when I was on my R6, I got the ever present

"Dude, your headlight is out." comment, and the others,

A WSP bike officer that had me stopped for like 8 over proceeded to tell me
"These cheap little plastic things are NO match for these anyways." (pointing to his HULKING BMW 1150) As I stand next to my 06 R1.

And for some reason, dumbasses that think we all ride "crotch rockets" seem to also think that the only other term for "sport bike" is "NINJA". Ick.

And last but not least,

"When you gonna get a REAL bike?" Usually coming from a tool with either an HD, or no bike at all.

Speaking as a child of the 80's, I'm gonna go ahead and give myself points for even having a clue about that one.

EvergreenVFR · 06-15-2009, 11:48 AM

when i was referring to Harley posers, i was referring to people who've got the HD t-shirt, HD sticker on their truck, like to talk about Harleys yet they don't even own one. not only do they not own a Harley but they don't even have a motorcycle of any kind.

sure, there are sport bike posers, we all know that. but the type of poser i'm talking about, based on what i've seen, seems to be more prevalent among the HD crowd.

Aermacchi/Harley made some interesting machines back then both two and four stroke,quite collectible nowadays.

Also interesting to note,Aermacchi became Cagiva so what was once owned by H-D is again owned by H-D with the purchase of the MV/Cagiva group.

500cc water cooled two stroke

250cc air cooled four stroke.

Ahab · 06-15-2009, 12:27 PM

Was asked if my tires were snow tires (new tires with the little blk rubber pieces sticking out) I didn't know what to say other than no and just laugh like hell , true story!!

reppinthe509 · 06-15-2009, 12:47 PM

this happened to my friend he rides a buell blast. he stopped at a store and some old guy came up to him and told him it was a nice scooter

Monster4570 · 06-15-2009, 12:50 PM

Friend of mine (Waterstomper) was told at a stoplight, by another HD rider, that his horn was loose on his '84 sporty.

jezterr · 06-15-2009, 01:01 PM

"is that the new silverwing?"
- some old lady who just hopped off the back of a goldwing asking about my cbr.

Gusgus · 06-15-2009, 07:21 PM

This guy who knew I had bought this bike for the month I am in Atlanta, came walking up and said " wow, that is a nice bike" I mean not that I didn't, well uh, you know for the price?, well it is really nice"

I agreed and have been laughing ever since.

TraumaHawk · 06-15-2009, 08:23 PM

Walked out to my MV Agusta F4 Senna after eating sushi and a guy trying to make some conversation says, "Nice bike, is that your first motorcycle?"

Oh yeah, she's a real good starter bike.

scooter scooter scooter...

duelsportin · 06-16-2009, 11:45 AM

i've never really had people ask me anything really stupid most people don't talk to me...

i did have something ask me if my bike was a husky 610, but thats not really that stupid i guess...

NoQuarter#121 · 06-16-2009, 01:12 PM

More than once I have had people tell me to have my bike checked outr cuz it sounds like its gonna blow up....

I have a 1098R and before that an S.

Ducati dry clutch rattle scares people who are not familiar with it...

can't comment on earlier bikes, but my ducs have been drama free for thousands of miles, guess they were wrong.

don't even get me started on this topic and dumb things.

would you believe (about four years) ago, i had a pregnant girl hitting on me? we're talking noticeably pregnant. it was so obvious she was coming on to me. the only thing that kept running through my mind was:

DO I LOOK BLIND TO YOU?!

or maybe she thought i was someone with no options. this is a true story (it happened in Philadelphia.) i don't think i'll ever forget that one.

Devil_Doc · 06-16-2009, 05:47 PM

On my Super Hawk, got pulled over by a cop in Medina, about 2 blocks from my place, doing about 27 in a 25.

Cop: You know why I pulled you over?
Me: Seat belt violation? (then I laughed. cause it was a joke...sigh)
Cop: .......silence.
Me: No, I don't know why.
Cop: Your plate doesn't match your vehicle.
Me: What?! I just bought this 2 weeks ago, there must have been an error at the dealership or something. Hold on, I have my sale documents in my backpack...
Cop: Really? Because those plates do not belong on your bike! (his hands are on his hips, and he's looking irritated)
Me: What bike are they registered to?
Cop: Those plates belong on a Honda.
Me: (dead silent for about 5 seconds, then I point to the Honda sticker on the tank) It is a Honda.
Cop: (hands still on his hips, leans in closer) You and I both know those stickers are easy to change.
Me: Look at the VIN plate.
The cop walks over and uses his mag lite to read the VIN, then walks back over to me, puts his hands back on his hips and tells me...
Cop: Well.... You stay out of trouble tonight...
Me: I was staying out of trouble.

True story.

That is the true nature of the cops I have met.......

DJ Nathan V · 06-16-2009, 07:44 PM

I had a guy tell me my GS500 was a GSXR1000. He knows cause he used to have one.

I told him it was a 500 and he told me no, it was a "Gixxer thou.... I had one just like that!"

Devil_Doc Streetfighter Joined: Sep 2008 From: Kirkland via Dallas I Ride: VTR1000 SuperChicken	On my Super Hawk, got pulled over by a cop in Medina, about 2 blocks from my place, doing about 27 in a 25. Cop: You know why I pulled you over? Me: Seat belt violation? (then I laughed. cause it was a joke...sigh) Cop: .......silence. Me: No, I don't know why. Cop: Your plate doesn't match your vehicle. Me: What?! I just bought this 2 weeks ago, there must have been an error at the dealership or something. Hold on, I have my sale documents in my backpack... Cop: Really? Because those plates do not belong on your bike! (his hands are on his hips, and he's looking irritated) Me: What bike are they registered to? Cop: Those plates belong on a Honda. Me: (dead silent for about 5 seconds, then I point to the Honda sticker on the tank) It is a Honda. Cop: (hands still on his hips, leans in closer) You and I both know those stickers are easy to change. Me: Look at the VIN plate. The cop walks over and uses his mag lite to read the VIN, then walks back over to me, puts his hands back on his hips and tells me... Cop: Well.... You stay out of trouble tonight... Me: I was staying out of trouble. True story. __________________ Follow PNW Riders on Facebook and Twitter
