things you hate being told about your fz

[lonesoldier84]

But I must say I always try to avoid using the same response to "did you ride here?"

I usually come up with stuff like,

"No I took the bus but I have been receiving anonymous threats lately"

"No I rode my bicycle, but I just took the training wheels off"

"No I walked but I am drunk and don't want head injuries"

"No I drove my car but I am a high performance race car driver"

"No I got dropped off, but my mother is an abusive alcoholic"

1. While bike is parked behind a courthouse next to the coppers cars and some mug says, 'how fast does it go?'
I reply 220 to 240 kph.

The mug says ' ever been that fast on it?'


2. What type of bike is it? (meaning Yamaha)
I say, same company that makes musical instruments and stereos!

a couple more that I've thought of..

"Now that your a father are you going to sell your bike?"
"Now that you've had your first accident don't you think you should sell that bike?"
"If you were on a real bike your accident wouldn't have been so bad."

The great thing is when someone questions me about selling my bike in front of my wife she says she won't let me sell it. :rockon:

I may have to steal some of these, Lone!! :rof:

"Yeah, it's totaled"

"Yeah, it's totaled"

that is the worst one yet.

especially when you had to hear it twice!

I think my new reply will be "A black one!"

I have gone so far as to respond: "a blue one. If you go outside, maybe you'll find it." I have the most blatantly obvious parking spot at work, and the only blue bike. I also have been told that I am the coolest teacher at CHS, as more and more adolescent boys realize that the "crotch rocket" out there is mine. I certainly don't ride it in for the status (and in fact have only ridden it in to work two or three times), but hey.....

"Now that your a father are you going to sell your bike?"

I can't even tell you how many times I got this...."so, since you're a mom now....." It's actually a little heartwarming for me to hear that men get this comment, too, as I have never heard anyone ever ask Rob if he was going to get rid of his now that he's a dad, but almost everyone I know (who doesn't ride) asked me.

Yeah, my wife and I have friends that get asked that question. I think it does come out of a genuine care/concern, usually. You will be happy to know - the Dad got asked the question, also.

Sitting at a stop light a nice sport bike pulls up next to me.
Him, "Hey, nice to see you leaning over on a bike like that!"
Me, "What?" (as I was in traffic and not doing much)
Him, "I can't see your chicken strips!"
Me, "You're damn right."
Green light. GO.

Edit: I guess I should clarify - it's annoying that just because I have saddlebags and sit upright on it, doesn't mean I can't ride it. Some of Hellgate's and Wavex's and numerous others' photos on this forum are proof enough that this bike will keep up with the right rider.

1. Is that your bike? (No, I am just riding it until they find the real owner)
2. How fast will it go? (Warp 8 on a good day)
3. Do you have a headlight out? (No, the one keeps working and I can't turn it off)
Just kidding. The only comments I have received are about it being sharp bike and it even looks fast sitting parked.

Ha, I've done #2 before. I'm a total dork:

"How fast have you been?"
"About warp 8.8, but I'm sure with some help from Scotty I can get her up to at least warp 9".
Sometimes I get the glazed look, other times "huh?". Occasionally someone will get it, but not often.

 

[jerdman89]

1. how fast have you had it
2. you got a headlight out (I know it comes that way)
3. fz6? is that like an r6 (it's better)
4. why didn't you want a harley (dad)
5. those bikes sounded good until you came buzzin up (uncle after my parents pulled up on there hardleys)

When I came in at work today, me and a friend where talking about our fz6 mods.
when suddenly someone else was passing by and told me: "Buy an R1, then you don't have to do mods"

me: "If you can't do mods, then where's the fun? Except the pain in the back and joints of the arms after 6h of touring"
I told him I will think about it if he payed for the insanely high insurance-costs.

He didn't saw that one coming, and I doubt if he wil ever talk to me again...:rockon:
