Best retort

OK guys, whats your best retort for the statement "Oh so you're a temporary kiwi then" when you tell people you ride a bike? I hate that statement and I hear it quite a lot.

I tend to use the old gem "Yep especially with brain surgeons like you on the road". So what do you say?

"Would rather be that, than permanantly bored... anyhow, define temporary... 65-70 years?"

Say "Oh and you must be a permanant Cunt you certainly smell like a well used and unwashed permanant Cunt"

Funny, thats what they said to me 7 years ago when I started. Yup, real temporary.

....oh Im sorry I didnt realise I was talking to someone who lives their life in fear and hasnt got the courage to live life to the maximum.
....life must be so terrible for you if you cant enjoy what you love due to fear of consequence.
... Not as temporary as you are if you keep that shit up!
....So what you're telling me is you have no balls/guts then?
Any of the above usually do the trick.

I don't mind that question cause I simply ask them if they are too pussy to ride a bike. The question that annoys me is "so do you dress up in one of those gay leather suits?"

*kick in the nuts*

Don't know any who are not going to die. So what's your point?

**Maha** · 19th April 2006, 17:43

Personally i think that question does not deserve an answer from an intelligent bike rider to an arrogant unintelligent judgemental non bike rider...

" Hows traffic and the congestion charge and the parking charge working for you?"

for when they follow London and give bikes free congestion charges!

Reply - so are you. What, you think you're gonna live forever??

Don't have to say anything. The wrinkles and grey hair say it all for me. I've been riding longer than most of them have been alive, (if that's what they call living)
