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

[slofox]

"What kind of bike do you ride?"

"A gixxer six"

"Whaaa.....?"

"A lunatic bike..."

Conversation ends.

When people get over their shock at the fact I ride a motorbike, they then assume I ride a Harley.. I guess that it the only brand they are aware of?

People think I ride a Harley because I am a fat bastard. They got a real fecking shock when I showed them the Yamaha Jog CV50 I was riding 6 years ago....

[Laava]

Good question OP! I now say Suzuki thousand, as it seems to cover most bases. My wife says, a black one!

[sil3nt]

Sportsbike.

Or ninja. They assume its one of these shiny new ninjas and thats fine by me

I started a similar thread ages ago titled 'Always a Harley'...
Because when its mentioned that I ride a motorbike, those in the dont know corner assume its a Harley...

[Berries]

So how do you describe your bike to those curious enough to ask you about it?

"Do you know much about bikes ?"

"No."

"It's a blue one."

I've always assumed they think I ride a Harley because I'm an old bugger...as in "How could some old coot like that ride a sprots bike?"

[James Deuce]

I usually say, "your Momma".

[steelphoenix]

I now ride a "blue Suzuki". Previously I rode a "white Italian bike" and before that a "big Yamaha".

Keep answers simple in case your questioners panic.

This.

I ride a 'white Honda 250'. Those who know bikes will ask what model, and everyone else actually feels like they've been given some information.

"Do you know much about bikes ?"

"No."

"It's a blue one."

Did the Jog get 0-30 in 16.9 seconds?

Did the Jog get 0-30 in 16.9 seconds?

I have only seen pictures of Fatt Max, but I doubt it

[Milts]

How has it not been said yet.

"A MOTHERFUCKING TRIUMPH"

[Griffin]

I just get that stupid grin that I always get when I thinks about me bike and says... "A Harley"... not many people dont get that. After all... what else needs to be said

[sunhuntin]

i always answer with "yamaha virago 250". when i get a blank look, i add "a cruiser". sometimes i get an even blanker look which requires "a baby harley" to be added, and they look all enlightened and impressed, lmfao.
