Best comment from a child on your bike?

[skidMark]

I repeatedly get told "I love your Harley!" or "Wow, cool Harley" even though I in fact do not own a Harley at this present time.

Thats good.. because you know.. Harley's are all bling, fat, and loud. It was what I was going for Now if only I could find a way to lower the rear easily.

fat chick?

and if u get an extra tanned model they have bling fat and oooo lordy do they holla loud!

Cool - Now's the time to change to:

'Best comments you've made to a kid about your bike':

'Get your *^@#^ fingerprints off my motorcycle you little (&%^#@'.

Had quite a few kids (big and small) go "Cool bike" to me with respect to the Duc - but the BEST reaction I got was on my way back from a Cold Kiwi one year ('85 or so) - a mate had won a spot prize of a sodding great toy bear - and he was two up, with a full load of gear on - so he asked me if I could take it back (to Kaikohe) for him? "Sure". So we wrapped it in some plastic we managed to scrounge from somewhere, and strapped it onto the pack-rack, facing backwards... with a beer can strategically held in one paw... and off we went...

Heh heh - every car that we passed with kids in it erupted! Kids waving and pointing - my mates were just about pissing themselves watching the reactions (kids excited - parents trying to ignore bikes blasting past)... trouble was - I didn't get to see any of it, 'cos it all happened AFTER I'd gone past... ...well, at least until the motorway - when a few cars would creep past in the other lane - kids waving and pointing! I think it was the mixture of cute bear, and big black noisy GSX11 that messed with the parents heads tho...

I think most scooterists have had the experience of finding a little kid sat on their scoot looking for where to put the $ coin...

Most annoying is old codgers that come up and say "That's nice, I used to own a vespa in the 60's..."

You know what's funny?

After all this hassle you receive for riding like a complete twat (which, to all accounts, you do), I wouldn't be at all surprised if the biker gods decided to be particularly perverse and ensure that you never even get grazed.

Which would be nice.

My favourite comment from a child on my bike(s) is more of a question.

"Does it go fast?"

"Yes, of course."

"But does it go really, really fast?"

*jrandom bends down, looks child in the eye with a somber gaze*

"It goes faster than anything."

*Fifteen years or so later, a new customer walks into a bike shop clutching his 6L...*

Yep had this little kid called markauckland come up to me once and little markauckland said "wow thats a cool looking bike mister where are Triumps made then"?

[Dave-]

rocked up at the lights yesturday and this wee tubby kid watched me pull up in the car beside, i looked at him and nodded, he nodded back

did the same thing with a cop today actually...

then a few weeks back I was sitting behind this mini van, 3 kids started all gawking out the back so I started rolling side to side and at the lights doing silly things like playing air guitar or the YMCA thing, they were cracking up....ahh kids are great

POOSE!

Best for me was just before heading off on a ride with a bike club. All these beautiful machines lined up along the street...we all climb on our bikes to head off and these kids come running up to me...

"We like yours the best...it looks all classic like..." Oh, how I love my little 250...and how all the other club riders hate the little white beasty!!!
