People ask if the V-Strom can do a wheelie regularly.

"Doode, you need at least 1000cc's, at least."

"I outgrew my 650"

"Are you still playing with dirt bikes?! When are you going to Grow Up?!" - Most of my relatives.....

Today at 128 cycles.

me: I'm looking to go from a modular to a fullfaced helmet, do you guys have the exo-500 in my size?
Salesman: good idea. Id never wear a modular helmet, they aren't as safe.
Me: I actually bought this helmet from you when I baught my bike here a month ago...you said you wear a modular for your glasses..
Salesman: oh, well they aren't as strong as a fullface. Id never wear the modular. It couldn't have been me. I'm big on snell ratings.
Me: okay, well what would you suggest? What do you wear?
Salesman: oh I don't wear a helmet, I'm from nh.

Well, can it? :poke:

As I stand in the middle of the road with a traffic vest on, barriers and cones behind me. "Can I turn down this road?"

Not sure who the salesman was. Some idiot in parts. Id recognize him though for sure.

This gem was from my roommate yesterday. "I like his bike it's like one of those old bikes with a round light" (regarding my naked 08 650)

~On the Triumph 675,

"Triumph? That's a Triumph?"

>yes it is.<

"I didn't know they made Ninja bikes"

~Being a smart ass at a 'all bikes' bike night, shortly after a track day...

"There's something wrong with your tires, they're melting off or something"

>I did that on purpose<

"Why would you do that?"

>because I love to go really fast around corners and I like to lean over far enough to drag my knees on the pavement<

"Well those aren't going to be grippy anymore"

Cycle Design early today.

Me: Hey, I'd like to check if you guys can get some tires.
Parts dude: Sure, what do you ride.
Me: I can give you the sizes. Front is a 110/90-19, rear is a 150... <cuts me off>
Parts dude: It's easier by the bike.
Me: 01' Triumph Tiger 955i.
Parts dude: (Looks bike up in computer, writes down tire sizes. "110/90-19, 150/70-17")
Me: *phew* Thank God for computers, eh?

<time passes looking up tires>

Parts dude: Well, how many miles do you have on your tires now?
Me: Front, 14,000 miles, rear 7,000 miles.
Parts dude: WHAT? You're supposed to change them every 4-5000 miles!
Me: Good day sir.

ask for Joe when you deal with Cycle Design parts, great guy. got to know him at Wagner but he transitioned out to CD. always super helpful and knows his stuff. even offered to still get me Husky parts by ordering/picking up from Wagner. now that's service.

Can it wheelie?

"you'll never use all the power"

seriously, anytime you pin the throttle, you're using all the power.
and my primary love of motorcycles when i started riding was that it was the fastest you could accelerate without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars...which is not an option in my case.

but maybe thats just me..

Hahah, yeah that used to drive me nuts... till we started all making fun of it :P
