All we ride are Ninjas and Harleys...

I like how you managed to scrape every little bit of paint off it surfing down the highway. Impressive.

Uhmmm, no.

Hey, I just realized something, your FJ1200 looks just like my Ninja 600...

haha, someone asked me what my KZ650 was, so I told them. They asked if it was "like a cruiser?", I said "no". They said "it doesn't look like a sportbike", I said "it's not one". What is it then?? "A UJM", I reply. "What's that??" "A mythical creature spawned in the belly of a small island nation, released upon Americans in an attempt to thwart a monopolistic takeover by a corporate giant who sells vibrating toys." "I don't get it." "Me Neither."

I had a good laugh at least...

My favorite one was when this little kid in my neighborhood (like 3 years old) asked me about my VFR. He goes "What's that??!", so I told him: "A rocket ship

", "Does it fly?" "Not unless I mess up." Then I actually explained it... he thought it was the coolest thing ever, not sure if he ever saw a motorcycle before.

You guys know some real stoopids.

People seem to understand what I mean when I say "cruiser" or "sportbike".

Who is stupider?

The civilian who describes all bikes as cruisers, or sportbikes?

Or the biker who does the same thing?

Once in a great while I get the HD question , but most of the time I get "Nice bike ." and I say "Thank you ." and go on my way .
A couple of weeks ago I was getting off of my scoot to wait for my breakfast diner to open and as I was removing my helmet I noticed this elderly lady , yep older than me even , just standing their staring/admiring with a wistful look on her face . As I said "Good Morning " to her she let me know that she rode a great deal when she was younger . I thought that was kinda kewl .
Catching her in reverie that is .
Regards, Wizzard

But Honey, I love your crotch rocket! You're my favorite racer boy, so my vote is that you stay in town.

Cheers,
Your adoring girlie-girl, Loonette
