Not sure if this is the right forum but had to post...

Today at work I was standing next to my bike during an evacuation drill. There was a guy leaning on a brand new shiny red GSXR1000. NICE BIKE! He was obviously trying to look cool...talking to his buddy. They were looking at my bike and talking in negative tones. My bike is still COVERED in dirt from racing at El Mirage last weekend. Still don't have the mirrors on and my race numbers are all over it. It looks a mess - I love it when I'm just back from a race

Anyway....I liked the guy's bike but they were obviously talking sh1t so I walked over and said "I heard those 1000's are pretty fast up to about 150" and he said "yeah and they handle better than the Busa too". So I was immediately put into jerk mode. I said "do you race it?" and he looked like he wanted to hide in a hole. (there were a lot of people/women around) He said "uhhhh...well...it's actually my buddy's bike. I'm taking it to the shop for him today".

Oh ok so it's not even your bike....what do you ride?

a 600....ohhhh ok. bet that handles nice...

Why's my bike so dirty? Oh I'm just back from running land speed trials....ran a little over 180 IN THE DIRT...yeah it wheelspins at 170...what'll your 600 do? Oh you don't know...right...yeah ok...nice highlights in your hair there...yeah I'll talk to you later...

What a dumass.. Talking smack about my Busa while sitting on his buddy's bike!!! hahahahaha. I gave him that "mine is bigger than yours" look and walked off the victor.

I am all for giving respect to ANYBODY's bike if they're proud of it. No reason to bag on anybody's ride - too bad he didn't have one...

I totally feel you! There are some people out there that have no clue what they are talking about. The CAN talk, but if you corner them, they freeze up like a deer in the headlights. Landspeed trials sound like so much fun

I was at the stealership buying some plastic push pins and they had just set up a new 600 for a proud new owner and it was sitting right outside the door . Since they were giving away free hotdogs I decided to hang out . Hey , Free is good from a place that sold me my first busa and only offered me 10% off any gear that I might buy after paying cash OTD for my bike . I'm checking the new 600 out and thinking man thats a pretty nice bike . Later I see the same guy at the store down the street from my house and he's riding 2 up double squid with a buddiy on back . A guy buddy . Now I don't know about you guys but I have alway looked at this as GHEY . Maybe if I was out riding with a friend and his bike broke and I was the only one riding with a back seat , and nobody had a charged cell phone to call for a truck , then yeah I'd give him a ride to a phone . Any way I'm talking to him and giving him props on his new ride when his buddy , squid #2 chimes in that the new 600's will even hang with the Busas . I say , Yeah right they 'll hang until I put it in infinity drive and started my bike and left them looking perplexed . I bet they went straight home to google Hayabusa Infinity Drive .

I gotta admit the ghuy thing...as in never.

IF you aint hot and female...unless it's a life or death...you ain't getting on the back.

Whenever I think of some putz talking handling, I think of Vman scrapping fairing parts and stator covers on turns...and quitely laugh my arse off at them.

 

[VaBusa]

Great story! That's hysterical...

+1. I wont talk shid about ANYBODY'S bike as long as they give me the same respect. The group I ride with has a few Zuks, a few kawasakis, a ducati, an R1, a couple hondas, an aprilia, and a V-rod. And the sportbikes range in size from a ZX-14 down to the 600s, and theres even a guy who has an SV650 (AKA the halfabusa) who comes out sometimes.

Sure there's joking back and forth about what a piece of crap your buddy is on, but it's all in jest.

There's a bike shop here who has a slogan that sums it up well: It doesn't matter what you ride, it matters IF you ride.

I find that people who talk down

about a bike or talk about how their bike is better than all the others to groups of people. Really; either don't know what they are talking about, don't have a bike or it isn't their bike

. So in the end, WHO CARES what they say ? They only make a fool out of themselves and the worst part ? Their friends know it

If you've got to prove your better by putting others down, YOUR NOT

Interesting to see this post today. This last weekend A buddy and me took a crusie out to some campground and hung out on the beach for a while. No biggie. We stop at this store on the way back to fuel up on soda and chips and while we're outside eating, some guy pulls up in a truck talking about his CBR 1000. The normal "facts" everyone has heard. They're the greatest sports bike in the history of man kind. Best handling. 160 rwhp stock. Tops out over 200 mph routinely. Tells us his friend is an idiot for suggesting his speedo could be off. "Why would I need GPS to tell me how fast I'm going. My bike says it's going 205, so it is." Neither me nor my bud said a word to discourage him. We just let him ramble on and had a laugh about it when we were having a beer at my place later.
