    Interesting. Although I'm fairly certain you would've said no such thing...
    I am sure I will use this in jest to people I know now. Its a good witty response that would catch most off guard.

    Agreed, however I'm not sure the person you want to catch off guard(or make feel like they were caught off guard) is a pissed off cop

    Re: Funny things people say about motorcycles

    As my bike was going on the dyno for a HP run two guys asked if it was a 600 or 750. I told them it was a 1000. As it got whacked open on said dyno they both simultaneously took a step back. I thought that was comical. I also think it's funny how many people ask the engine size when the tail of it, a few feet away from them, has two bright orange "1000" stickers.

    Had one douche at work want to see my older gixxer 750 back when I had it. When he saw it he said "Whoa, you have an 'R'!!!"....Yea, I do, and it even has a GSX to go with the R.

    Then two summers ago I watched a guy commit suicide on a Harley. At the scene, as he lay dying in the road, lots of people were stating "they think they're invincible"....."they think they can ride however they want"...."they think the laws don't apply to them"...and so on. I was in the cage at the time but I made sure they knew I also rode a bike and not everyone rode like that. I also explained to them I was completely baffled why this guy did what he did. And to this day, I still am. But at least when we all left a couple hours later they knew he was one in a very few.

    I've also had a lot of people say they don't have bikes because they'd ride them too fast and get hurt / killed. I'm glad some people have the common sense and know better. Unfortunately that's not the case for some others.

    And I've had people ask if they can sit on my bike. To which I tell them no.

    And yet at another pre-Stonnerstock get together, I once had some nozzle point at the Two Bros duals on my old Superchicken and proudly exclaim, '...you've got TWO race kits on it!!!'

    my uncle used to refer to my 1000RR (when i had it) as a menstrual cycle.. ( his point being, sooner or later you're gonna bleed)

    of course in fairness, this was from the perspective of a guy who went riding his old 3cyl 2 stroke street bike, and superman'd over the hood of a car with little more than a brain bucket and spent months in rehab recovering from the injuries

    Two race kits are better than one...twice da powah!

    I gotta get me some of those.

    Now and again if my bike is near any harley's and I come out of a store, etc, and the harley owners are around I'll jokingly thank them for not kicking the rice rocket over, pissing on it and setting it on fire. That usually gets a few laughs.

    I don't get a lot of numb nuts asking stupid questions, but a lot of people ask how fast it goes. When I say I really don't know they then ask how fast I've had it going. 65. the speed limit

    I had one woman say I should take her for a ride (my bike has no passenger seat, or pegs) and I said I don't have another helmet. I thought you didn't need helmets in NH was her reply. So I said NH doesn't have a helmet law...But I do. And a coat law. And a pair of gloves law. T'was the end of that convo.
