{bahahaha} so I rode the bike to the pharmacy

['73 H1 Triple]

I walk into the pharmacy wearing my Teknic leather jacket and carrying my helmet. A young guy is working the counter and the first thing he asks ......


You got a real cycle or a Harley?

:lol

I was chuckling the whole way home. :dthumb:

Some chick asked me a question like that a while ago. I was in my armored mesh jacket and carrying a full face helmet and she asks, "Hey, yoo ride a crahtch rahcket?"

I said "No, I ride a grown-up, man's bike."

She said, "So you ride a Hahley?"

I said "No, I ride a bike that runs all the time."

[tached1000rr]

Oohhh, Gasman gonna kills you all:hangman:

[Quick281]

My favorite response is "Oh, one of them toy bikes, right?"

Then I point out several obvious facts and belittle the old men.

[HRCNICK11]

I always just ask Harley riders, "If Harley made a plane would you fly it?" When they say, "yes, yes I would" I just respond, "Not for long!".

[Smittie61984]

I had some redneck old bitch at a walmart ask me what I ride. I say "a motorcycle' which is my typical response. She goes "I figured that. What kind". I said a "sport bike". She goes "I figured that. I mean a GSXR, CBR, Ducati, Triump, Buell". I was kind of dumbfounded and then found out she rode a Triumph 955. This bitch was like 60 and had 3 teeth.

[Gas Man]

Oohhh, Gasman gonna kills you all:hangman:
I got da guns... time to ban some bitches... :gofurslf:

The wife, Ms Credit Union Manager... always throws people off when she tells them she rides a harley. Its funny.

[nhgunnut]

What I get a kick out of is the ignorant people on either side, Last fall I rode my Victory to a meeting I often attend and was told by a leather clad woman "You should buy American" (I didn’t bother to correct her) These are the same crowd who call my Ducati a "rice rocket" Not unlike those people who tell you "you can't make a HD go fast" Although GasMan personally I believe pushrods belong on tractors. But as my wife points out that doesn't make me right just opinionated

[Sixxxxer]

I go to Corporate meetings on my Bike sometimes...I remeber when I told my Area manager I was going on an eleven day Motorcycle Vacation...He asked me If He should start looking for my replacement incase I didnt come back...Gee Thanks.

People think if you ride a bike your some ingrate no good assclown who cant be responsible and have a decent life and be succesful...Its cool though most of the GUys at my work Love to ask dumb questions about my bike, How fast I have gone if I ever ran form the cops, can I do a wheelie Blah blah blah...And all the girls thinks its pretty (because of the blue) and want a ride...

ITs whatever

[MILK]

I really wish I was better with come backs. I always think of things a day later! :lol:

I'm at my son's ballgame a few weeks ago. Drove there straight from work on the bike. I'm sitting on the bleachers with helmet and jacket beside me. One of the dads from my son's team gets there late. After sitting there a few minutes he starts asking me questions.

"Did you ride a motorcycle?" ME: Yes

"All by yourself?" ME: Yes

"Did you change gears and EVERYTHING?" ME: Yes

:lmao: I couldn't help but laugh, he wasn't trying to be mean. He was flabbergasted and did NOT UNDERSTAND. I am thinking he probably doesn't get out of his small town much. :lmao:

I told my husband the answer to question number 3 should have been, "They have more than one gear???" :lol:

[Sixxxxer]

I remeber that story Milk...To funny.

People who dont ride just dont understand I've come to realize.

[bmblebee]

Being old and irritable, anymore, when people look at me and ask, "Do you ride a motorcycle?" I look them straight in the eye and ask, "You don't?"

[rogue]

I honestly get tired of the same questions from people...."that's YOUR bike?" "You're not scared of it?" "How fast does it go?" "Ain't that bike too big for you?" "You rode that here???" (although I love the expressions people make with this one)......

I went to a job interview the other day on the bike. I got a little rained on, nothing big....just enough to get the top of my pant legs a little wet. The lady who interviewed me had this combined look of astonishment and horror and said, "You rode all the way here in the rain???" Without thinking, I said, "Yep....and all by myself too!" A smartass comment is not the way to start an interview, but I must have really impressed her. I thought I completely bombed the interview but got a call back the next day with the job offer. :rockwoot: (Now I'm just waiting for my background check to be completed which I'm worried about because I have horrible credit).

[Digifox]

Harley?

You mean a Hardly?

Wow.......what town was this?

[Antwanny]

so im glad this topic came up, what do buell riders respond with?

[derf]

I dunno, my Honda was assembled in Ohio, so is it really a Japanese bike? And didn't they move the assembly of the softails that were built in York to Mexico? Does that make them Mexican bikes? Do they also come standard with some swine flu?

Hey... still run push rods on allot of american v-8s too. The push rods contribute a great deal to the sound.

The rest of it abt victory and duc... too funny.

[Particle Man]

Some girl at work once asked me if I ride a harley or a street bike... um...

[MissHell]

Being old and irritable, anymore, when people look at me and ask, "Do you ride a motorcycle?" I look them straight in the eye and ask, "You don't?"

:lol

I need to remember that one! :yes:

I think why the kid was all full of piss and vinegar was the older couple ( 60 ish) that left as I pulled in.
( no wave or acknowledge either :gofurslf: )

It was the his & hers stereotypical HD riders. Chaps, matching dew rags and leather vests. I guess dressing for "safety" versus fashion made it a bit more likely that I had something sporty. :idk:

so im glad this topic came up, what do buell riders respond with?

Just ask the kid if he's practicing or if being an asshole comes naturally :dthumb:

[Gas Man]

Yeah the matcho or the people that look like they just fell out of the HD clothing tree just make me shake my head. I make a good effort to NOT purchase everything HD.

That being said... I did purchase a real nice black leather HD dog leash.

I hate when people at work as me if I rode over the weekend after coming in with some sun. I'm like duh... I can't get sun through my helmet and leathers, which they seem me walk in to work with each time I ride the bike there. I hate small talk. "How was vacation?" "Did you have a nice weekend?" "Good Morning." Bullshit, just leave me alone to do my job.

[Phenix_Rider]

:lol

:lol You sound like me. I don't feel the need to speak to every person I see! Especially when I'm somewhere I don't exactly want to be- Especially in the morning!


Having a pair helps bring out the extrovert me though :boobs:

[z06boy]

Around here to most you either ride a...

Harley

Harley copy or a Harley wannabe (metric cruiser or Victory)

or a crotch rocket...

:skep:

I usually just respond with "I ride and like them all but currently own a sportbike...or crotch rocket... it's an R1 and my wife rides an R6".

I like cruisers too and would like to own one of each but if it's only one...it will be a sportbike for me.

And we better not see you wearing it. :poke:

Man I live to close to post that, he is going to kill me! :help:

[LeeNetworX]

That's awesome.

[HRCNICK11]

Observe the teeth to tattoo ratio while checking out the ladys in walmart. "Checking out" is a poor choice of words here but you know what I mean.

[Fleck750]

Maybe it's for his wife. :)

[jalaan1]

yeah, same here.
@ the local Sun. morning car/bike show we've got tons of 'motorcycle snobs'
as well.

you know the type.... "if it's not a custom chopper or Harley, it's not a real bike"

then you got the idiots (aka squids ) on sportbikes with little to no gear doing wheelies on road into the show, constanly revving the engine as they cruise in, just F_cking it up for the rest of us.

one thing i have noticed is, that 'squids' DO also ride Harleys.
they're just a lil older than sportbike squids.
