    Pull up, hop off bike;

    Them : "Can it wheelie?"

    Me : "I dont know.. Lets try. Ok Bike,do a good wheelie for daddy!"

    Bike sits there motionless....

    Me " Guess not.."

    The most common I think is"How fast does it go?"

    Having a general conversation, another guy plonks himself down, sees my clobber and asks ...

    "So, how many wheels does a motorbike have?"
    "........"
    ".... um, I meant how many tyres then?"
    "........"

    :slap:
    "I like to ride anyplace, anywhere, any time, any way!"

    now THATS scary...i hope he hadn't bred.

    Not too many stupid questions yet..just a couple
    Parked bike out front of church, got off and was promptly asked "omg..can you ride one of those?"

    After parking bike and taking off helmet whilst still standing next to bike "Is that your bike?"

    and my personal fav "Don't you know how dangerous bikes are?"

    Walking up to my bike with full gear (the only bike there) "Waddya riding?"
    Watched a guy give the bike a good look, walk around and all, he then asks me if it was a BMW... Honda on the forks under the light, Honda on both sides of the engine, Honda behind the seat.... me: "ummmm..."
    It aint how fast ya get there, it's that ya get there at all...

    As a WoF inspector the excuses are jaw dropping...these are true.

    No headlight - ''But I don't drive at night''

    Disc pads on metal - ''But I don't use the brakes....''

    Oh,that's alright then....I'll just issue the WoF.

    I'd love to be a mechanic. I'd try to sell blinker fluid and winter air for tyres
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)
