Alright dude... I have the perfect line for someone who asks you how much something costs... say this, it stops them in their tracks everytime.


"Uh, I don't know... some chick bought it for me"


They don't know how to respond to that one and I am sure it stops further stupid questions.

EDIT>>>> Ok, I just saw... someone beat me to it. I wouldn't recommend the "wife" part as it doesn't have quite the STING as if some random chick you are banging bought it for you.

Had a similar issue with sn old biddy across the street from our house. Asked how much the bike cost and I told her the price. She says I could have put a deposit on a house. I look at her, then turn around and point at my 2 story and say to her:
are you missing something here?'

Let's see, dumbest thing somebody has said about my bike... "You know, $30,000 isn't really that much for a motorcycle, I think we should get it."

Don't get me wrong, just cracking a joke. I love my bike and have zero regrets.
 
Oh, I just remembered a priceless one!!

My friend Corey and I decide to take a lunchtime trip to the local Yamaha dealership as he's thinking about getting an R6. Cut a long story short (and theres another good one in there so I'll tell you that one some other time), 2 days later we show up to work - he's on his brand new R6 and I just couldn't walk by the (then) new R1 without falling in love with it. :D

So we're in the parking lot admiring our new rides when up strolls our workmate, Mike. Now don't get me wrong - Mike is a super nice guy..... he's just not a motorcycle rider. After a few minutes of walking around the bikes, admiring and shooting the ...., he turns to Corey and says "So how many times have you put a bike down?"

Without a beat Corey hits him with "WTF Mike? You don't ask a biker how many times he's put his bike down. Thats like me asking asking you how many guys f***ed your wife before you married her"

Good job I wasn't drinking coffee at the time.......

I just remember this one:
random dude drove by: "996?"
me:"no, 997"
dude:"nicceeeeee"
XD
 
well this happend last week !

now, i talk for a living, but this left me speechless

i ride to work, I had my RED Ducati helmet on my desk, mind you it says Ducati on the front over the visor and on both sides behind my ears, on the chair in front of my desk is a Dainese leather jacket with armor etc...... I SWEAR this is true.


a guy walks past my office, then backs up and says oh, you ride? so i am sitting there, not knowing what to say for once in my life and then he says, oh stupid question huh??? what brand bike do you ride was the next question

so for the second time in my life and second time in the same minute, i could not speak.
 
The how fast will it go one get old quickly doesn't it? I usually just answer, "It depends on how high the cliff is." The other one that really gets me is "Can you do a wheelie on that? Argh. If only they knew.

If someone asks how much it costs I tell them it was this or a mid-sized sedan.

Top ten answers to the question, “how fast does that go?”

10. It goes plaid.
9. Not fast enough, I’m still here talking to you.
8. Not very.
7. Hopefully faster than the speed of sound so I can outrun that question.
6. Only warp three.
5. I don’t know I just stole it.
4. Its acceleration is equal to the force from the engine divided by the weight of the bike.
3. Faster than the salmon of Capistrano flocking to Aspen.
2. No hablo .........
1. Yes.
 
I love when another biker comes up to you and asks "How big is the engine?" Idk if they have looked around lately, but it says the engine size on the side fairings, stamped on the engine, or on the tail of EVERY bike lol :D Then my buddy pointed something out to me last summer, there are bikers... and then there is ninja people... "Ooooo! Nice crotch rocket! Is that a ninja?" :cool: No, it's not a ninja... It's the Chuck Norris of bikes
 
HAHAHAHA this is such an AWESOME THREAD!! the main point that no one is realizing is WE - the proud owners of 1199s can not make anyone who doesn't ride and or understand THE TRUE MEANING of DUCATI....... FLAWLESS! GO SCREW BMW 1000rr!

Last point for dumb questions give dumb answers its PRICELESS!!
 
Denver Rick.... Awesome post.


9. "Not fast enough, I'm still here answering stupid questions"



Gonna have to steal that one. I did modify it a bit so it has a little more sting to it.
 
Someone asked me this morning when I was getting gas


"it sure is beautiful, who makes it ?"


I said Audi and rode off
 
Many years ago.... I think on a CBR-600 F2 I think...

Cop walking up to me after pulling me over: "How's it going?"
Me, taking off my helmet: "Well, it WAS going great."
Cop stops smiles for a second.

He wound up giving me a warning. Which was very cool of him. I was weaving thru traffic, so he didn't have to do that... thanks officer.

Techncially it doesn't, because the panigale actually has a displacement of 1198cc's, but I understand your point ;) when someone who hasn't seen my bike asks me about the engine size after I tell them it's a Ducati 1199, I feel slightly ........ saying, "Well, even though the bike is called the 1199, it's not actually 1199cc's, it's 1198cc's, but it's the next model, and the last one was called the 1198 soooo....", and instead I just say it's about 1200 :D

I can't imagine someone dumb enough to look at my bike and ask that....but if they do, I'm definitely using this one.
