I don't have any. A good portion of my family rides (mom, dad, favorite uncle) and half of my friends are envious that I have a bike. Two of my friend's wive's want me to take them for a ride, and I'm sure there are a couple others that just haven't had a chance to ask me yet.
hm, I might have to take my spare helmet to the weekly get together tomorrow night.

mag7c, that is my absolute most hated quote "It's raining, sucks to be you". or how about this one I get all the time too "Isn't it a little cold to be riding a motorcycle?" It's like....yeah you're right, you think I would have thought about that before I left home..after all it's october.
here's my favorite retort to the rain comment
Them: Ooh, it's raining, that sucks
Me: Yeah...they don't make this weather for chartreuse

Grrr... the "isn't it cold?" one just tweaks my nipples.
YES, I CAN TELL IT'S COLD, AND I WOULD TELL YOU SO BUT MY NECK IS FROZEN SOLID, JERKFACE!

Nobody ever say's sh#t to me, I am too scary a person. Come to think of it my whole family is scary.

I prefer the object lessons.
Like the janitor at my high school, whose nickname was "Mr. Lucky." He had it airbrushed onto his custom tourer and his custom window-van.
He got that name because he'd had an accident on an earlier motorcycle in which a rich dude in a caddy pulled out in front of him without looking. The windscreen on his bike cut him in half, but didn't sever his spine. What would you be called?
The other one is the lady who works in my office who used to ride but doesn't any more because she went down three times, including once at 70 mph because of a rear-tire blowout...
Petty aphorisms don't cut it.

How was he cut in half and still a janitor?
Much less riding (unless he just kept the bike around for kicks).

His accident was quite some time before I met him. They stitched his middle back together.
And he won his suit against the guy in the caddy, hence a janitor with a fancy custom tourer and a custom window-van.

Surprised he didn't pack it in after such an experience.
