Respond with a " I have to turn my down to get 120" lol
 
Not so much about the bike, but at dinner with some friends and one lady proudly told those around her that I rode a Bugatti motorbike. This created a somewhat surprised discussion and I was torn between making her look stupid or just smiling.

Where's the exhaust?

Heh,

Earlier today a guy pulled up behind me and waved. A few miles down the road I pulled over for some coffee and he rode up. Came over laughing and said that when he had pulled up behind me he couldn't figure out WTH the exhaust was but now stopped and up close, he could see it. Said it had really confused him. We had a good laugh about it before I rode away.
 
At the gas station
on my MV F4 guy says nice Ninja :eek:

As for the cost ?s.

My new response is; "I don't know; I bought it with Obama Bucks and had enough left over for a lottery ticket."
 
"I wouldn't buy a Panigale, too much belt maintenance."

I have a black Ducati jacket, the one with the small logo and a white stripe down the sleeves.

"That jacket looks like a garbage bag."

Nice people out there.

If you don't start all your initial meetings with folks by giving them the finger, they may say nicer things to you :D

The sad part is the guy who said the first comment was a 999 base owner with Ohlins stickers on his forks. :eek: :rolleyes:
 
I had so many negative comments on my Buell 1125CR that I lost count. I haven't even taken delivery of my new Pani yet but "I can't believe you spent that much" and "You know the BMW is faster and cheaper" have already started to annoy me.
 
Some guy asked me why I removed all the stickers off my bike...I said it comes like that, it's stock. "Huh, looks pretty plain to me, why would they sell it like that?" :rolleyes:

"How's the mileage???"

Or, "Those are death machines"

Or, "Can I ride it???"

Or, "It's too loud for my taste...why is it so loud???"

Or, "What's wrong with it??? Doesn't sound like all the other Jap bikes I've heard"

Or, "Yeah, you shoulda bought a Harley"
 
Scenario 1). I just parked my bike and am removing helmet. Bystander who watched me the whole time asks: Is that your bike? Me: No I stole it, shush.

Scenario 2). Walking through market or wherever in gear carrying helmet. Bystander: Do you ride a motorcycle?
Me: Nope, my parents use to make me wear a helmet and the habit stuck.

Scenario 3). Harley next to me at red light. Harley rider: That silly get-up must be uncomfortable. Harley rider's ten gallon passenger in five gallon shorts and bikini top teeheehees at that until I reply: Not half as uncomfortable as she's gonna be when you crash.

To be fair not everyone rides and not everyone who rides is interested in performance riding. I mean, if you think about it, what are non riders supposed to think when they see a guy or a group of guys in what pretty much amounts to leather jumpsuits? But I did correct the guy yesterday who called Lucrezia a rice burner. I assured him that she only burns pasta.

I don't ask stupid questions when I see people doing other hobbies I'm not involved in.
