Silly bike questions you've asked/been asked.

Good timing with the thread.
I rode past a gardener today who said "that's nice, is it like a V8?"

[James Deuce]

Was in a gas station filling my bike up wearing my leathers and helmet and some little kid came up and asked if I was a spaceman

"hey bro, is that a powerband?"

Not a stupid question but a stupid statement. I was filling up my R1 at the Tai Tapu gas station one time when the attendant told me that I should get an R6 because they're faster (apparently a friend of his had one). When I told him that the R1 was bigger he looked at me like I was a moron and told me that 6 is way bigger than 1. I told him R1 was 1000cc and R6 was only 600cc and that by his rationale the R1 would only be 100cc. We ended up agreeing to disagree. No wonder he was a gas station attendant.

Me - "yep"

"Wow you are a biker ...but you act so nice..."

mmm when I was 18 I ran up the ass of another car.....I pulled out from the side of the road and was looking down plugging in my seatbelt and the car in front stopped suddenly to turn right. The old gentleman got out of the car and came back to me...I asked him if everyone was alright and the first thing he says is...what did you do that for!? I said..Like I fucking ment to!!

Then there was the first time I turned up at work on my bike, walked into smoko room dressed in leathers with cut off and club patchs/ rally badges etc only to have someone ask...how did you get here? I said I walked....they said...in that? eyeing my leathers and helmet...I said yes..was a fucking long walk from home (25kms away) and hot too....took them all day to come back to me and ask if I was taking the piss. Id worked there for over a year.

[Kendog]

"How fast does it go, about 180?"

[roadracingoldfart]

Stoopid question / statement .... Whos that in the picture with the raceing bike ??
Thats me , cool aye .
Hell i hope you dont go too fast . Noooo that would be scary.

Im a mechanic and i had a bloke that just couldnt help but stick his beak into what i was doing to his car, I have a "mate that fixes cars ", "i once new a guy that taught me all about cars and trucks" . He was annoying me badly so decided to spice up an an otherwise slow day.
I was under the car on a hoist , I called a workmate over and gave him a wink then said , hey Brent , look at that shining a torch up towards the engine , the water fuse has blown.
Brent couldnt handle it but walked away stiffling the laughter till out of sight. The plonker is now frantically asking , whats a water fuse ? will the car still go ? .
Hell i had that pillick going for almost half an hour with possible causes and remedies for that one.

paying for petrol at desk with all bike gear on."do you want a car wash with that?

Haha, I got that one too, when Mobil had a promotion that if they didn't ask you, you get a free car wash. I didn't realise this at the time.

"Do you want a car wash with that?"

"Excuse me? Are you joking?"

Best answer i've heard in awhile..

"I know I seem like a twat, but my cunt of a boss is right behind me and forces me whatever the situation"

Had a couple, "Is that a Harley?"


"So what'd you do this weekend?"

"I did the Coromandel loop"

"Oh.. why?"
