How many people have had the Line My mates Rotory would beat you bike or do you think that could go faster than a ??? Or when you ride through town have Kids tell you to Pull a wheelie while your sitting at the lights :weird:
Most of the Guys I work with know about bikes & what they are about but there is all ways those people that must have been locked away from normal going on's & have not been given the chance to learn about life or bikes ! Because some of the Fucken stupid things a couple of these people at work asks me about my Bike when its parked outside our smoko room

1 Does that run on normal fuel
2 Why is the back tyre so wide
3 Why does it have those plastic things covering the motor
4 Is it easy to speed on that
5 How come there is only one muffler
the list go's on . I feel for these poor Bastards. Everone should spend 1year on a bike first before they get their Car licence so they know what we are about & what driving safely is to !!

[Motu]

Got any stikkas mista?

I'm always lost for words when they see my trials bike and ask if I race it...???

[John]

I hate at the lights when I'm told to wheelie and or do a burnout, I go yea sure, you do it first - they shutup.

Strange that I never get told that when on my RE5. :rofl:

[zeRax]

NOONES SAID ANY OF THOSE TO ME. BOO HOO HOO :(

[Waylander]

1 Does that run on normal fuel
Nah mate, it runs lettuce and hamster pellets


2 Why is the back tyre so wide
Becouse it makes my GF/Wife's butt look smaller


3 Why does it have those plastic things covering the motor
Engine? Nah mate there aint nothing under there but a few hamsters on wheels

4 Is it easy to speed on that
Yea, anything under 150K/h and the hamsters die.


5 How come there is only one muffler
Only need one to suck the hamster farts out.

Some young dumbarses at Lower Hutt BP asked Hayden if he wanted to race them on his Gsxr 1000. They were in some shitbox blingy whatever. Hayden just laughed in their faces.

They were somewhat humbled.

[sAsLEX]

one guy reckoned he could get to stratford from NP in 16 minutes or something ridiculous from NP. dick

[bugjuice]

best conversation I've had so far: (idiot in italics)

nice bike mate, I used to have a bike too.. What is it?

(pointing at the tank) A Kawa, thanks..

What engine size is it?

(pointing lower down) 600, or this one's a 636cc bike..

not very big then, is it? can't go that fast then..?

I've done over 250 on it..

What, on that?!?!

(green light) yeah, bye..

[FROSTY]

I dont get those sorta questions much anymore
I'd loove some girlie to come say -mmm thats a big bike mister

[placidfemme]

Even better than the dumb questions are the dumb "know it alls". My ZXR250C doesn't have any stickers on it stating the cc rating... and on 3 seperate occasions I've had guys stand there by my bike talking to me and they all said along the lines of:

"Yeah I used to ride bikes... not much different from yours, thats a 600 right? YEah it must be, look at the size of the back tyre"

I just nod and say "yeah you know a lot about bikes tell me more"

Once they've finished their "I know everything" talk I say "It's only a 250... and my back tyre isn't big (compared to any bike over 250cc).

lol dumb asses

You lady bikers aren't very forgiving are you now?

No one bothers to ask me to race them at the lights but even the GS can show a clean pair of heels to pretty well any car away from the lights.

It's the simple pleasures that matter.

I think there is something in that. Motorcycling is like hanggliding or some other exotic activity.

It's within reach but some people just don't take that step and do it... so they live out their dreams through others...

namely.. US

Yeah it's fun when they say some stupid things (and if they're dumb enough to ask for a race or whatever, just ask them if their car really can go over 250, coz if it does - get out to Pukekohe next open day).

Teach 'em and share the fun - who knows we might get a few more on bikes over time...

It depends on my mood as to whether I'm polite or not because I can be a grumpy old bitch too!

I love the stock question: "is that your bike?" - duh, I've just pulled up on it, is it likely to belong to someone else if I'm riding it? Another one to make me think they are a moron is: "that's a big bike for a little girl like you" - do they make similar comments to guys driving trucks? No, but because I'm a female they have to make some smart arsed comment about whether I can cope with the size of the bike!

I loathe being behind cars with snotty nosed kids pulling faces (I wave to the ones who wave to me!) or school buses - I'm out of there!

I don't mind people who come up and ask about the bike because most of them are genuinely interested and the two bikes I have aren't that common so people do tend to come up and ask "what is that?" When I rode the RG150 I used to get kids coming up because the bike was so little and I think they thought it was something they could handle if I'd let them! And on rides people often thought it was a 400 when it passed them! But now I mostly get old guys coming up and warning me about the dangers of riding because they used to own an old Indian or similar!

And don't forget, we're all dumb about something (some of us about more things than others...) so view these idiots as people to pass on your knowledge too - who knows, they may even learn to ride themselves! :no:

[speedpro]

It's not just motorcyclists who have this problem. V8 owners have the same problem, everyone "boy racer" want s to have a go. Driving mates ute used to get it all the time. Girlfriend had a bunch of guy friends who were well into rotarys and those guys were always wanking on. Not many would have got near the 400 chev though

When parking, lots of some people think my bike is somewhere between 250-400cc, but sadly at traffic lights the most common comment is "Get off the road you #@$%* slow coach!"

one guy reckoned he could get to stratford from NP in 16 minutes or something ridiculous from NP. dick

Dude you can do 22min in a car so 16min on a bike is PISS easy . 28min from Awakino to Fitzroy is do able all so . Even 18min to Opunake from NP . When the Man is on Look out !!!!!

[Jantar]

Dude you can do 22min in a car so 16min on a bike is PISS easy .

Of course. Its only 42 kms so that's an average of 158 kph. Allowing for going a bit slower in the 50 kph areas then it would only need a cruising speed of 250 kph. :nono:

[WINJA]

SOME DUDE SAID HIS GTR XU1 WOULD KILL MY BIKE AND ITS LIKE A 202 STRAIGHT SIX PLEASE, AND ANOTHER GUY SAID HIS HOG WOULD WASTE MY BIKE , AND REALLY I COULDNT BE FUCKED

[sAsLEX]

28min from Awakino to Fitzroy is do able all so

now thats moving! the family trip up to that camping ground on the beach there always took over an hour!

When parking lots of some people think my bike is somewhere between 250-400cc, but sadly at traffic lights the most common comment is "Get off the road you #@$%* slow coach!"

Yeah ... with nothing on it to show the cc rating, my old FXR fooled a few people...even the odd biker. I remember some kids asking me to do a burnout on mine once. Now how does that 'Tui' advert go ... ? "Yeah, right"

I get a kick out of it when wee kids wave at me from the footpath or from the back of cars. I always wave back. I consider it advance public relations for when they grow up.

[SixPackBack]

Even better than the dumb questions are the dumb "know it alls". My ZXR250C doesn't have any stickers on it stating the cc rating... and on 3 seperate occasions I've had guys stand there by my bike talking to me and they all said along the lines of:

Once they've finished their "I know everything" talk I say "It's only a 250... and my back tyre isn't big (compared to any bike over 250cc).

lol dumb asses
I had some middle aged women come upto me at the mall and argue my thou was a 250......wouldnt take ' no' for an answer. Thought she was scopping for a root till she got really angry.....still scratchin my head over that one!

[Jackrat]

Not many people ask about my bike.
I think it has something to do with the old leathers, an filthy looks.
Had a guy stop when I was at the auto electrical one day,first he calls me brother,them starts telling me how he had one just like that.
Well ok,the brother bit's pushing it just a tad but then he goes to chuck a leg over.
"you don't want to FUCKING do that"
I think he might of spotted the "Oh shit" look on my Mrs face or something.
But he changed his mind real fast.
Pubs are the worst,there's always somebody that's got a mate that's got one,what ever it is!!
Then theirs the guy that used to have an older Triumph, an their a much better bike.
Yeah,well so did I,an that's why I ride this. :clap:
The few people that ask real questions are ok,good to have a yarn with if their really interested.

I don't get 4X4 owners saying they can go places my bike can't - against a trials bike there's no contest....ah,'cept in really deep mud,but then again I can usualy ride around it and don't need a winch anyway.

[Biff]

I had some spunky chicks shout sexy at me while I was parked up at some traffic lights once. It took me three and a half years before I finally realised it must have been my bike they were referring to.

In the F100.
Streetside retards "Do a burnout!!"
me "ok"
S.r. "Really?"
me "only cost you $600"

me "well somebody is going to have to pay for the tyres, got the money ready?"
Sr "nah..."

me "I'm still on my learner licence, they're training wheels"
S.r. "Ohhh....yeah well I knew what they're for all the time.."

[TonyB]

I had my FZR in at a local bike shop getting something or other looked at. Salesman comes out the back and rattles off a string of STOOOPID qestions.
Is that a 400? (actually- I get that from other bikers, so we'll let it go)
Wow- I haven't seen this one yet, the front is really narrow. It's a Yamaha right? How come you got the latest model before we did?

Sheesh!

For some reason, the guy's most likely to try and take me on drive Holden Commode V8's...

[loosebruce]

It doesn't bother me too much on the whole "do a wheelie" etc etc, if it's a 50kph area, no way, open road and if it's not bumper to bumper, yea sure.
Kids crack me up waving and pointing and trying to run out onto the road after the bike, always give em a wave.
Old people are crack up to, when they come upto you and give the whole "i used to have a bike once a BSA, you know what that is, had some fun times on that it'd do 100mph that would. Things have changed a bit eh.

Hehe love it when old folks come up to me. Makes me feel good to know that in some small way I impressed them or something. Kids are easy they always get excited about something exotic to them but old folks have seen it all and it takes a bit to get them excited.:Punk:

Funny one when we were all warming up and leaving Tokanu last year after the rally.

Hayden starts up his K3 Gixxer and some young fellah (from here but shall remain nameless, for now!) coments on the lumpy Gixxer idle by saying, "You really should get the carbs balanced mate"

Ha ha ha, you know who you are!

A group of us were out riding in suburbia one day, probably trying to get to decent roads.
Pulled up beside a station wagon, Mum was driving, young son in front seat and younger sister in back car seat. I noticed the scooter in the back so when I pulled up, I flipped up my helmet (very handy having those flip ones because people can read my lips) and made a comment about when you grow up you can ride two wheels like us. Son and daughter thought this was cool, :Punk: but Mum was having trouble with a grandmother riding a bike. :rofl:

[onearmedbandit]

Had my bike at work, cue idiot of the day walking up to it. Tells me he used to race a ZXR400, put a ZX9R wiring loom in it and it would top out at over 270km/h. Used to eat "Ducati 900's" at Ruapuna. Realising who I was dealing with (ie dipshit) I muttered a 'wow, quick bike' comment and excused myself.

And a guy here in Chch who used to ride a FZR1000, not a bad bloke but must've been very insecure. Looking at a pic of Mick Doohan popping the front up while leant over on his NSR500 while waving at the camera, he informed me he was doing the same the other day, but leant over further with a higher wheelie and had his hand further away from the bar. Hmmm, right. Same guy, on the couple of occassions when we rode together, would always get off his bike with a book of excuses, front tyre stuffed, rear shock rooted, carbs out of tune, and I was only taking it easy etc etc. Yadda yadda. Also reckons he's been banned from Ruapuna due to 'starting from the back on purpose and passing everyone on the back wheel while waving at them'. My brother, years ago, was out on his WR490 when this guy turned up, spouted some b.s. and took my brothers bike for a quick ride, very quick as he flipped it straight away. I hear he's still riding dirtbikes to this day, but with an even bigger book of excuses.

[pritch]

Of course. Its only 42 kms so that's an average of 158 kph. Allowing for going a bit slower in the 50 kph areas then it would only need a cruising speed of 250 kph. :nono:

Heh, yeah, met their "cousins" a few times myself, including one guy who'd ridden/driven in pretty much every competitive event including F1 cars - not bad considering he was not even 21 years old at the time.

Normally just go "Wow, really, that must've been fun"/"impressive bike" or whatever and try to escape - saying "you're full of shit" and embarking on an argument was just too much hassle.

Funny how they have such crazy mods tho', eh. "Ahh, yeah, I put a V8 in my Raleigh 20 - had a banana seat, chrome sissy bar, the works - raced it at Pukekohe... Fitted a CB radio to the sissy bar so I could talk to my mates..."

Funniest we had was one guy who'd been in about half a dozen gangs, including "Highway 61", according to his tales; survived more fights than Mohammed Ali against guys with more weapons than a Schwarznegger flick, blah blah.

He used to dress in a black cowboy hat with a studded headband, had studs and a huge ornamental buckle on his belt, black boots - looked a right poser. No tattoos at all - I've seen more "decorated" non-gang people, not a scar on him either (Wow, he must've been a really good fighter).

He came in shaking one day because a couple of Maori teenagers decided they were going to hassle him and he high-tailed it out of there (I forget the excuse he used for not breaking out a can of his ex-gang-member whoop-arse (Cheers, Hitcher) on them).

So we had fun: asked for descriptions of the guys and what happened and then pronounced with great authority that they were Prospects for the Mob hoping to earn their patches and the respect of the other mob members by smacking him over. We then said that not only would they be pissed but their mates in the Mob would be pissed because he'd deprived them of their Rite of Passage. Very serious, that, they didn't get their patches because he wouldn't submit to being beaten. We figured he'd have both the prospects and the Mongrel Mob out looking for him - and he did look kinda distinctive...

He went into hiding for over a week!

We pissed ourselves laughing about it for well over a month.
