When non bike riders ask you what you ride, how do you respond?

Standard replay, a black and white 800.
If they actually have a clue/ care, they'll then ask more enlightened questions.

It still amazes me the number of people at my work that still see me wandering to the carpark, in all my gear, helmet in hand, who then turn around with that pearler of a question. "Oh, so you have a motorbike", My stock answer now, without missing a beat is "No, I'm just a crap driver".

I have yet to have anyone carry the conversation on after that...

I don't know anymore.
"A 250"
'A 250 what?'
"Suzuki GSF250"
'.... Oh.'

"A bandit"
'What's that?'
"Naked 250cc"
'.... So like a Honda?'
"Yes but without clothes." (

)

"250 straight 4"
'What does that mean?'
(It means I made a possibly fatal error answering your question)

A noisy black bike seems to suffice for now.
