What is it about bikes?
Everytime I go for a jaunt and pull up at some cafe or pub for a drink.
Some mindless (usually pissed dickhead) decides , that is perfectly ok to leap into my face and start telling me how wonderful motor cycling is.
I wouldnt mind if the useless pricks actually had motorcycles or I had invited them to join me and my mate. But I can t seem to find a single place where some jumped little shit head with to much piss on board, thinks its ok to hijack my day out.

You'd probably whinge if everyone ignored you too. I wouldn't be too keen either if everyone who wanted to talk bikes was pissed but there are plenty of non-pissed people who want to chat and it can be a good occasion to do a bit of promoting the cause.

I ride a Suzuki and no one hassles me - maybe it is cause I am such a grumpy looking bastard:scooter:

You forgot your Do Not Disturb sign. :done:
I actually quite enjoy the fact that people will stop and have a chat with you if you have a bike. They're probably just jealous they don't have a bike anymore/wish they had one.

The way motorcycles break down the normally applied barriers of our society is one of the many things I love about motorcycling. I think it's great the way people feel that they can just wander up and yack to you about stuff, or make you most welcome in their premises. BMW drivers, eat your poncey hearts out!

What are you doing on a social bike forum then? I always enjoy a chat about the bike... If you don't want people to talk to you, you should drive a bmw x5...

So you would be happier if they came up and told you how crap it was? Or perhaps how stupid you must be because you ride a bike, you temporary NZer you. Lots of people see riders as cool people for doing something they do not have the courage to do themselves, smile, thank them for their interest and move on.

If you don't like talking to people gain 200kgs and ride a harley and carry a big chain.
Not a good idea if you want to stay AWAY from the police though.

I get your point - the people you refer to are 'frustrated bikers' they want to own and ride a bike - they have a need to belong but they haven't got the balls to do anything about it. Therefore they get pissed and harangue you for having the bike they always wanted. These people haven't got the bravery to discuss the matter with you when they're sober.
Pity them, humour them then tell then to apply for a fucken licence, sell the car and buy a bike before you'll talk to them again.

Get a patch with swastikas on it and sew it onto the back of your jacket.
That should keep them away, like Renegade Master's suggestion.
You may attract some unwanted attention from other patched individuals however...

Meh, blurdy yanks. I don't want coffee you can stand a spoon up in. Pissant weak shit, PROPER coffee dissolves the spoon.
Stop foofing about, do as I do, just eat the coffee beans.

when i was at College ( Uni to you peasants) we had this drink called "JOLT Cola".. was marketed as ' all the sugar, twice the caffeine '..
now during finals week.. we would take spoonfulls of Maxwell House or Folgers Instant and wash it down with a 2 litre of Jolt and pull all-nighters..
this worked great until you finally fell asleep.. then everything you had studied overnight was gone ..:gob:
