How much public attention do you get?

[Blossom]

Well if you ride in a squid suit you get heaps more attention... I just sucked it up.

mmmm...Number one in a squid suit...

I get far more people gawking from the side of the road or cars etc, at the bike while I am riding it than I do when its parked. Although recently after parking in the shade (on the bike parking footpath outside the warehouse) I did have one lady say to her 10 yr oldish daughter... "get out of the way of the oncoming vehicle darling, mutters which shouldn't be parking on the footpath anyway.
Is that attention?

Best attention getters / conversation starters are classic styled Harleys and Triumphs.

People wind their windows down to talk/ask about the bike at traffic lights occasionally.

Go the mighty trumpy, Old school and new i talk to all trumpy owners,

In my case i look at ALL bikes and talk to ppl if i wanna know somethng,

I go to the bike events and normally get a sore neck from looking all directions(afraid i might miss somethng), It's better than porn, hehehe,

Hay #1 your right ya know......ppl still do kinda go what the hell when they see chick riders, It's like come on ppl were not from another planet with 2 heads,

My other half(balzybuell) gets alot of looks at his 1125r cuz it's only one down these ways,

His old TL had the meanest sound.....I could hear him caining it up witfordbrown and we live a fair distance from there, lol

From all the bikes I've owned(jappas,harleys,ducatis),my hyper is the most attention grabbing bike of all of them.It seems the younger they are the cooler they think it looks and the oldies just think WTF is it.
In the end though only one persons opinion counts and I love riding my Hyper!

A friend on KB "Babyblade250RR" (Hmm havn't seen him for a while... where you at?) who rides an R6 once told me that he recieves alot of public attention when he is with his bike...

Me: "So whats it like riding an R6? It's a good looking bike isn't it?"
BB250RR: "*snip*...the bad thing is that you get alot of public attention..."

*Someone walks by saying to him "Nice bike!"*

Me: "Alot?"
BB250RR: "ALOT!"

So is it true? Tell us your story.

This guy should be stoked people think his bike is hot.

My bike gets a bit of attention - however due to wearing a pink helmet, pink leathers, pink gloves and pink boots I probably ask for it

[short-circuit]

My bike gets heaps cause it's the shiz

[mashman]

They generally stand there drooling and then proceed to ask what the fuck an Aprilia is... Puts a smile on my face everytime!!!

My bike gets some attention, often at lights or if I wind it out a bit on the roads. But then it is a 650 single so that always sounds good.

[bigfoot]

Im sure this happens to a lot of bikers but have you had someone driving alongside perving at your bike, and then distracted by their own drool , proceed to drift into your lane . Thats when you chuck it down a gear and wwwwwwwwrrrrrraaaaaa

[Owl]

Mine gets a bit of attention because it looks so short (optical illusion)!

My Harley got more, especially when I parked it in the designated park at the Plaza!

[MentalFacility]

i get quite a lot of people who ask to take pictures with the bike.
I also get some people who would come up and start chatting to me about bikes, and then instantly become full of them selves. Like that old guy the other day, 20 seconds in to "how r ya doin, nice bike" conversation went of talking about how he was a pro motorcycle trainer for 120 years, and got too much skill.
Im just standing there wondering WHY?! are the telling me this.
Usually after an epic story from their racing career they ask some stupid question like " you said it has a slipper clutch, whats that for? Reverse of some kind?".
