Crazy questions about your bike...what are they?

[zukracer]

I was talking to this girl about going riding, she is used to riding on the back of a cbr 1000rr...she says "how comfy is your seat" (meaning the passenger seat)

My response "My seat is comfy, unfortunately I havent a clue how comfy your seat is....I dont ride back there

I hear its not bad and its certainly a lot larger than the one you used to sit on."

I've heard all kinds of other ones like "is it really fast" or "how fast have you had it" ... unfortunately the first time I heard those two I was sitting on the bike, the guy asking me had my license and his car was parked right behind me

"Is it yours?"

My reply - "No, I stole it! Now get out of my way!!"

Kidding on the reply, but I do seem to get asked that a lot, when I'm parking it, sitting on it at a light, standing next to it, whenever, wherever...

Them: That thing looks fast, what is it?

Me: Hayabusa

Them: Oh, it is fast.

I was talking to one of the girls at Starbucks and she's kinda scared of bikes. I told her that I take my son and girlfriend on rides all the time and offered to give her a ride around the block one day to see how it feels. She took a look out the window and said, "She really rides on the back of THAT? And she doesn't mind??"

When I walked outside I realized that I had the hump on.

The Busa is kinda like a rock star sometimes. When someone sees them and know what they are, it is one type of conversation, when someone sees it and doesn't know what they are, its a different type of conversation.

I get the usual how fast etc. stuff.

I have even gotten the out the window in the car next to me by a chick comment "Your bike makes me horny", to which I replied, "How do you think it makes me feel riding it"?

I have gotten sorta used to it now but sometimes it would be nice to just be able to enjoy the bike just for what I like about her, without all the attention. Then you get a group of 600-750s that want to test your patience once in awhile and I simply let my Bridgette settle things and go on about the business of owning a bike that sort of gets attention no matter what.

I had pulled into my neighborhood, i'm on a culdesac, and the neighbors were out with their kids. I had the hump on, and my milf neighbor picks up her 5 year old daughter and plops her on the "hump" and tells me to take her for a ride. I'm like "Woah!!! No no no!! get her off that!!!!" WTF was she thinking?

Uhh - yes! Why do you ask??

 

[LadyHawk]

Sittin at a stop light, waiting form my green arrow to turn left. The redneck in a truck beside me asks:"Do you know how to RIDE a 1300?"
I looked over at them and said "Sure do."
Shut my visor, got my green arrow and took the corner.

WTF? I'm ON it, right?
