Stupid Questions You Hear

[LeeNetworX]

How many other people hear the question "Ride your bike today?" when someone sees you walking in, wearing a riding jacket and carrying your helmet? http://smiliesftw.com/x/facepalmsmiley1ti3.gif (http://smiliesftw.com)

Nah politicians don't ask dumb questions, they do however give dumb answers.

It's true. I also work with politicians.


Every single time I ride to the Capitol someone sees the helmet, "Oh did you ride the bike today?"

[LeeNetworX]

I work for politicians.

So you not only deal with stupid questions, you deal with lies. You win.

[Particle Man]

I get the "You have a motorcycle?!?"

My most recent response is, "No, my SR-71 is parked outside right now."

That gets the gears turning (since a lot of people apparently no longer know what an SR-71 is) and while they're thinking I walk away.

[CasterTroy]

the blank stare is about the only way I respond to that question with helmet in hand

[Sean]

"Would you like that for here or to go?"

Yeah, I'm going to take a medium iced tea and three open dishes in the backpack that I don't have.

[azoomm]

Let's see....

It's 107 degrees outside, when they see me in full gear - "Aren't you hot in that?" Answer: "I was HOT before I put it on and I'd like to stay that way."

When they find out I ride at the track, usually high school band parents - "OMG isn't that DANGEROUS??!?!" Answer: "Have you been on IH35 lately? Because driving at 90 next to a 16-year-old texting to her best friend in mom's minivan isn't dangerous." :panic:

[Tsunami]

I get the "You have a motorcycle?!?"


I get that too when I go into the gas station and have to get something at the mini mart. And then they try looking for the bike through the window or will ask, Do you ride a Harley or a Ninja?

[HokieDNA01]

I once had a cop at Vanderbilt Hospital where I worked ask me what I rode. I told him a 2004 Ninja 250. He then said "Why do you need to wear all that gear you have on? Those bikes will only do like 90mph right?" I told him try dragging your bare ass down the road at 90mph and tell me how it feels. I then found out he had an R1 and likes to stunt and "go fast" every chance he gets. Go Figure. Cop Squid!

stupid stupid people

[HokieDNA01]

Oh and I was riding with a friend home from the HSTA rally in Helen GA and was up on Monteagle in about 40degree weather when some old redneck man walked up to me and said "man you sure must be a tough girl be to riding a motorcycle in such cold weather" I told him I had REALLY big ovaries. That got a priceless look as he walked away.

[CrazyKell]

Not about the bike but I absolutely cannot stand when someone says "Can I ask you a question?"

You just did....now just ask the damn question.

Azoomm....I get the "isn't that dangerous" about the track too. Safest place I've ever ridden.

In the spring, I rode to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription.

The kid behind the counter asked You got a real cycle or a Harley?

I walked into an old gas station in a small town somewhere to pay for my gas. About 6 necks were laying about and the man working there said "Whoa! for a minute I thought we had Evil Knievel waking in here" I instantly had "and I thought I was in Mayberry, Goober" in my mouth, but I choked it down since I was out numbered 6 to 1 and on their home turf.

[Mr Lefty]

I get asked every time I go into a fast food restraunt (AFTER commenting about my helmet) if it's for here or to go... never fails.


What happens if it rains? (I reply with... I get wet)

is that a dirt bike?

or is that thing able to go on pavement? (as it's parked in the parking lot)

why in the hell would you trade in the Honda on THAT?! :lol: I just smile and laugh... cause I can :D

[Smittie61984]

"Would you like that for here or to go?"

Haha.

I've gone through drive throughs on my motorcycle. That gets more dumb looks than dumb questions. Understandable because only a dumbass would go through a drive through on a motorcycle.

The one that bugs me is do you worry about crashing?

I do that too... only to Tacobell though... just shove the burrito's in my jacket :lol:


another is so how fast have you gone on it? or is that pretty fast?


another I got just the other day... a really young airman probably 18 came up and I know he was just wanting to talk to me as I'm an MTL and he just wanted to be notice... but he looks at my bike and reads "dual sport 400" and asks... Sgt Eberhardt, sir is that one of those Dual Sport 400s? those are cool!" :lol: I said... glad to know the Air Force isn't gonna have to teach you how to read. and laughed... he was a little embarrassed but got the point... and we started talking about the bike

lol, I regularly go through the drive through on the bike or get food to go on the bike so you never know...

but not when I just superkinglarge sized it with a 5gal pepsi :lol:

[MILK]

The all time dumbest question was when I returned to the dealer to pick up my bike after the break in period was over. After having the bike 2 weeks I had 900 miles on it and it was time for that first oil change.

He asked me if I was back because I had wrecked. SIGH. I said nope! Just hear for the oil change, thanks.

I got that this morning from my office mate. I was too slow to say anything but yes but I walked away thinking: "let's see, I'm wearing a leather jacket, carrying my helmet..." "Here's your sign". :scratch:

While riding through the GA mountains this year. We stopped to get some fuel. While waiting to pay inside the shop, a few of the locals looked over at Kelley and her baby blue GSXR 750. They turned to a few of the guys in our group and askled when they started making bikes in "girl sizes".

LOL - I can just picture it all in my head.

[HurricaneHeather]

When I got my Hornet after having my ninja 250 for a couple years so many people asked me, "isn't this black one slower than the green one you used to have?" In a why-would-you-buy-a-slower-bike tone. :rolleyes:

Or, "how come you bought a cruiser after riding a sportbike?" There was so much fail in that question I just couldn't respond.

I just hate it when people say, "you're gonna ride in this: cold, rain, storm, traffic, etc.?" My response was always, "it's either that or walk home in this cold, rain, storm traffic, etc." :D

[MissHell]

Myself and a couple friends were at a rest stop this weekend, there were a small group of Harleys there too.

My friend has a new CBR-1000rr, which I asked to sit on. I was saying the seat height was lower than I excepted. One of the Harley dudes, said something like "you excepted it to be higher cause you are used to sitting on the high back seat". :doh:

I just bit my tongue and said nothing. :bonk:

[CrazyKell]

I should've said "a fun Friday night ;)"

"How tall are you?"

"Do you play basketball?"

"Are you famous?" Because how many famous people do you have ask about being famous. . .

After trading a few emails with my insurance company today, I want a thread about stupid ANSWERS.

My husband's old roommate was that height and lanky and he got asked the same questions all the time, so I know how much you must hate it.

[HokieDNA01]

I never ask really tall people how tall they are. I just casually walk over and stand next to them to see if I come up past their waist. I'm only 5'1"

See I dont mind that. Especially when Im at a club and short drnk girls come up to my waist and say "Hey! I dont even have to get on my knees." :lol: Thats actually happened a lot. jacko

Holy crap you are tall! Do you have an extra Y chromosome?

You are a foot and a half taller than me.

My friend Barry is 6'-9". My younger brother Andrew is 5'-6".

Andrew, being the wiseass, walked up to Barry and asked him " How's the weather up there?.

Barry spit ( just a little ) and said it's raining :lmao:

Needless to say, he refrained from asking anymore stupid questions :lol

I'm 6'6" with bad knees, and riding supersports is becoming a painful ordeal these days. I'm thinking I need something more real-world oriented like a ZRX1200 or FZ1. You have any recommendations?

[TYEster]

Do you have any free Redbull?

or my fav from working downtown so much...

Hey man, can I tell you a story? :skiptoend: Can I have a dollar?

[BobTheBiker]

my new favorite. I'm under the hood of my truck putting the engine back together after changing the timing chain and sprockets, this dude drives up and asks what happened. I shoulda just said I'm making the motor grow 4 more cylinders and a turbo instead of saying what I was actually doing.

[EpyonXero]

Not really. I feel pretty comfortable on my VFR but it still has that bent-knee peg position. I usually have problems on cruisers and standards because my knees are too high on the gas tank and dont fit into the concave areas theire supposed to. I havent tried the ZRX or the Fazer.

you might be better off on a dual sport or something with your height - shit, you could probably flat foot trip's GS on the centerstand :tremble:

"Are you riding a motorcycle?" she said when she saw me in my leathers and carrying a helmet.

"No, I'm an astronaut," I said.

My favorite is after a weekend when I've been out in the sun (laying out or working) and I get asked on Monday at work... you ride this weekend? As I stand there in jeans, leather jacket, and helmet in hand as it's 90 outside. :doh:

[Rangerscott]

"Is that a 600?" No its a 800. "They make 800's?" Nope, I collected enough cereal box coupons for them to mail me an engine kit.

Can it wheelie? I'm sure it can but I dont want to fuck up my bike.

Why not get a 1000cc? Cause I didn't know they made 1000cc bikes.

That's a strange sounding inline. Yes, yes it is cause its a double twin inline.

You're a fag. No. I do not ride a loud harley.

I have a friend who is 6’5” and rides an 1150GS. For him it is the only bike he has found that is comfortable for long distances.
