Yep, that's what I do. For years I've had people tell me about such and such a mission a Special Ops team did, that they were on (probably read about it in SOF mag or some news report) . Only problem, I was on it and I've never met or heard of this person in my life. I just let them keep on raving about Bla Bla Bla. If it makes them feel better, to me, SO WHAT, I just
down with alot of other things I hear. I just figure that anyone who knows them, knows it's a bunch of Bull left overs
and I really don't care.
Some people just have to live in a dream world, because their real world has ALWAYS been boring and dull. With absolutely ZERO results (to them anyway) . You'll find most spend alot of time watching TV, Movies and being on the NET. And have a regular non-exciting job (which there is NOTHING wrong with that) . Hint::: Most Exciting Jobs AREN'T and are generally hours of training followed by months or years of BOREDOM
Oh Man, I had this guy that ALWAYS talked about how "When I was with the SEAL teams ... ... ..." He always says "you wouldn't have heard about it, it was classified." Then I ask "well, why you telling me."
My Dad NEVER talks about Vietnam. On the day of my Grandfathers funeral I did learn he was awarded the silver star, in WW II , no one in the family knew. Kinda makes me think these guys don't really talk about that stuff
Yeah, the FJ 1100, late eighties. A friend of a friend had one years ago. He was amazed that my 94 ZX7 would smoke it
Gotta love that one~!~
How bout this, on the strip at the beach every few feet you have guys walking up the sidewalk saying do a wheelie man...do a wheelie
You friggin idiots I think...there's 5 feet between my front tire and bumper to bumper traffic, I'd be better off picking the front tire up with my hands~!!!~

In the video they're on R-1's
I had a guy at work tell me about his brothers Busa. Ran 200mph+ in the 1/4 mile, it was "Tuned Spec'd" Thats before he sprayed it...
I met this guys with the ugliest fresh paint job ive ever seen with stock yellow turn signals and SCREWED HIS LICENSE PLATE INTO THE HUMP. Stretched it like 8 inches cause he said he likes to street race, didnt know jack about the busa itself. Just said he cant wait to turbo it and make 400hp, no passion to race just talking about how fast he wants it. I just thought poor pitiful guy as I drank my beer and chalked him up as a lost cause. Thought he knew everything but knew nothing
I heard about the 1100cc Busa before too, and even when I ask him... Don't you mean the 1300cc Busa? He reply... no this is the 1100cc model, one of the first ones. I just say... Oh, ok !!! and left it like that... Lol...
He was mistaking, a guy at a gas station once told me about his "Big Boy 1100"
So, clearly the 1100 is know as a "Big Boy" not a Busa
I think that some people without bikes want to talk to us and they think that they have to make up some kind of story about bikes to feel more comfortable talking. They dont realize that we can spot that they in fact dont have a bike and they are just making a fool out of them...

Sometimes its funny and sometimes its a pain in the a$$. Had a gentlemen, looked about 60ish, pull up beside me in a parking lot asking about a meet up he was attending, which was followed by how fast his police edition harley was. I just nodded and said that was great. During this speech he was politely ragging on my busa. Then he starts asking about it, what it was and of course how fast was it, when i told him it came from the factory with a speed restricter he interrupted me and said "what 120?" I said no 186. He gave me a very unhappy look and pulled off looking back at me like I had slapped his mother. I did say have a nice day when he was leaving though!

Rode my busa to go and look at a possible project Corrado the other day. Seller says he builds race engines and has a buddy with a rice rocket that will smoke my bike. I'm smart enough to just grin and let it be, but a few minutes later I happen to mention that I have a Power Commander on the bike and he says to me "In that case you'll probably cream my buddy" ??? ??? ???
Fantastic things these Power Commanders apparently. I'm still looking for my +100 Hp map...

WAIT.......WAIT........WAIT a minute !! Do you mean all those people DON"T have a Busa at their mother's friend's uncle's barber's sister's nephew's pet's house ?
I used to get those people alot. Everyone knew someone with "the turbo one". The best was a guy on a 01-02 GSXR1000, he had a CHP uniform on said he was off duty. He knew all about the busa. How its faster than his 1k but it would have to slow for the turns, and his 1k wouldnt. "it'll do 250mph, mine only gos 200mph" after that I just walked away.

lol I always wondered about that song!
Well, I'm out riding with my Harley buddy and we stop at a gas station. A guy comes over admiring the Harley while my buddy is putting the mirrors back on after they fell off on I-75. I'm sitting there listening to the normal Harley BS and how this guy wants to buy one etc. Then he says to me "Is that a BMW?" I was sitting there waiting on my BKing for the mirror repair. I said no its a Suzuki. He said Oh. So, when I get on the road again to return to I-75 I twist the throttle over to warp speed for a few seconds and am about 1/4 mile ahead of my buddy.
I just had to reclaim the power of the force! Jedi rider that I am......

The killer is that I don't mind talking to people about bikes...I actually enjoy it sometimes...even those that don't know much and wanna learn about the beast! Just lately everybody who stops to talk to me is a jerkoff!
