Scabbs · 06-12-2009, 12:19 PM

searched for a thread but couldn't find one.

one was started on my other forum, and there are a lot of dumb things people say to bikers.

i had a guy try and order pilot powers from me for his Harley Dyna Wide Glide.

had some kids walk by me when i was picking up my girfriend from school and one said "yep, im pretty sure thats a Ninja" (as it says Kawasaki, ZX6r, and Ninja on my bike)

ZXWUT? · 06-12-2009, 12:22 PM

Guy out at Seabeck asked me if my busa was one of the ones that came turboed. I said nope, I got one of the regular ones. He was like...oh...I thought it was one of the fast ones......

C~Style · 06-12-2009, 12:22 PM

I have a k6 gsxr 600

16 or 17 yr old kid.., "Man that bike looks fast, whats the top speed 200, 220?"

Robusto · 06-12-2009, 12:26 PM

Is that thing fast???

Driftertank · 06-12-2009, 12:29 PM

Had a kid ask me where I got the cool Cafe fairing on my suzuki....

twinduc · 06-12-2009, 12:29 PM

MY favorite "HOW FAST DOES CAN IT GO"

vtwin · 06-12-2009, 12:29 PM

Guy gets off his TLR, and walks over to me and asked what kind of bike mine was.. It was a TLR also, just solid white!!

Spec · 06-12-2009, 12:30 PM

"I got a Gixxer 1000 at home, probably nowhere near as fast as yours"

dwh4784 · 06-12-2009, 12:30 PM

Someone asked if mine was a V-twin, which seemed dumb since we were standing right next to it and you can easily see both cylinders.

CBRCRF · 06-12-2009, 12:36 PM

"Youre gonna kill yourself on that thing"...

Really?! Thanks Dick!

nighthawker · 06-12-2009, 12:38 PM

"when are you gonna get a real bike?"

"never. i like riding my fake bike."

JTurkish · 06-12-2009, 12:44 PM

i was looking to get a 2nd toy bike like urs, something to dink around with, basic.

Its even better when the person making this comment does not have a bike of their own....better yet they are on a bicycle.

Had some guy on riding a bicycle (very obvious it was his only means of transpo) make a comment about my 02 325i bmw.., "Eh its just a 3 series"

dragracer1951 · 06-12-2009, 12:52 PM

Been ridin the tard a lot lately.
People ask me "What IS that?"
"It looks like a DIRT bike"...
"Is that LEGAL????"

kevlar791 · 06-12-2009, 12:52 PM

the best is when they say "my friend" and start on a story

Osup · 06-12-2009, 12:54 PM

"aren't Buells unreliable?"

a friend on facebook made a status update saying "rode by a ducati today, sounded way good, never new ducs sounded that good"

his buddy replied to his status "too bad theyre irreliable"

rewsintegra · 06-12-2009, 01:07 PM

i doubt its as fast as my sportster... bahahaha.

why does it say shoe on your helmet? its not a shoe... (from a blonde chick i work with)

ktmmx · 06-12-2009, 01:07 PM

"Is that a two stroke or a four"

Shit dumbass, look at the pipe!

Flaerion · 06-12-2009, 01:08 PM

"Is that a Hayabusa?"

"SV650S"

"Oh.. that a liter bike?"

"Nah, its a 650"

rewsintegra · 06-12-2009, 01:08 PM

Ditto

....and my reply was similar and out loud. I did say, "Pardon me??" just to make sure I heard correctly before I replied. You know, so I wasn't the one being a dick.

Lyestille · 06-12-2009, 01:16 PM

'hey did you know you have a headlight out"

I was waiting for it actually

But I'm sure the sound of my idle probably made him rethink asking..

Jimmyz · 06-12-2009, 01:16 PM

"He probably doesn't like Harley riders, so I don't trust his directions".

cal_look_zero · 06-12-2009, 01:18 PM

You have a headlight out... -shakes head-

From a cop, while I'm sitting at 7-11 minding my damn business, drinking a slurpee. "I had a guy on a black bike like yours eluding me the other night, you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?" Me "Oh yeah, it was the only other guy in the area that rides a black sportbike! There aren't ANY other black sportbikes around here except him and me"

From a guy with ape hangers like 2' tall "Man that thing looks uncomfortable to ride, all hunched over like that."

Squid on an old f2 "Hey man, can you do wheelies?" Me "Not my thing, I prefer corners..." Squid "Why? What if the light stays red?"

mfrankpdx · 06-12-2009, 01:18 PM

On my R6

Gas station attendant: "What is that, an eleven hundred?"

Me: ... pause ... "Nope, it's a 600."

On my WR250

Gas station attendant: "I recognize that bike! I saw you doing a wheelie down the street the other day!"

Me: "I'd never do that!"

*sarcasm on*

Wellll yeahhhhh, it's only a 600 after all....

*sarcasm off*

Flaerion · 06-12-2009, 01:28 PM

When I was first starting to look into getting a bike, I took notice of the various headlight configurations. I didn't find it too hard to figure out that if one whateverbike has 1 lit and the other dark... and then seeing 3 more like it are the same way.. hmm..

..that there was a bad production run of headlamps?

DGA · 06-12-2009, 01:40 PM

"I did not know Ducati made such sweet bikes." As I sit on my Triumph!

Mind you the guy was a crack head and told me he rode his Ninja from Portland to Tampa Bay in 36 hours.

yeah i call BS on that too - Iron Butt has a 1000 mile in 24 hrs but 3k in 36??? on a ninja??? BS

DGA · 06-12-2009, 01:51 PM

The funniest part about this guy was, as I stopped talking and he had nothing to say, he would just laugh uncontrollably, which made me laugh and then he just did not leave. All of this is going on while he is hammering back a tall boy of Hamms.

Dusten · 06-12-2009, 01:54 PM

i hate living in cali... i have a midnight edition warrior and i constantly hear...
"that thing looks sick all murdered out, with the red rims, hella tight bro"
