I took my bike to work today for the first time. It's an all office environment. There are several guys that drive Harley's to work (which I do like) and I parked in the area of their bikes...here's the conversation around lunch time:

Harley Guy: Why don't you buy a real bike?
Me: Why don't you?
Harley Guy: That think is a pu$$y bike!
Me: I'll tell you what, let's race for pink slips...(he interject's with a hell yea).....I continued, "you pick the first 10 miles of the race, I'll pick the second 10 miles of the race."
Harley Guy: a few expletives that start with F**** Y***. Well, you can't pick up chick's with that little bike!
Me: I don't need a bike to pick up chicks.....
Harley Guy: silence........................................... ................he went lunch, as did I.

 

Smooth.

 

ha ha ha ha ha..... That conversation sounds all to familiar.... Maybe next time he wil take you up on that race...lol

 

Then what would he do with the half a brick and cold chisel?







For those that don't know thats a Harley tool kit

That is funny. I had almost the same conversation Monday. It did not include the "picking up chicks" portion ( I will definately remember that one though!) but I told the guy that if he could keep up with me, he could have my bike. He was all for it until I said I get to pick the route. i do not think we would even have to go off road to leave a Harley behind though. As long as you ride a nice tight, curvy road with no straights to make power a factor, you can take a Harley.
Have any of you ever ridden at Deal's Gap? I know I could lose a Harley on the Dragon with my KLX. 318 curves in 11 miles. The link is below for the un-initiated.

Suprisingly, I haven't had that conversation...yet! Been asked why (I usually answer with "Because going in a straight line bores the hell out of me")

Either way, excellent comeback dude.

 

That was nice..way to put him down. I had a similar encounter yesterday at work. The best part(or worst, depending on how you look at it)is that this moron just missed 4 months of work for putting his precious bike down in the rain. Here's how it went. This is the first time in over 4 months that I had seen this co-worker. He rides a VTX1800.

Him(first words out of his mouth):Why didn't you buy a real F*****G bike?
Me: This is a real bike, Jeff.
Him: NO, NO, NO(as he's snickering).. THIS is a real bike(as he's starting his bike up)
Me: I can take my bike anywhere that you take yours. Can you say the same? Let's go for a ride and we'll see how long you can follow me. When you take your bike where I take mine, then IT will be a real bike.

Needles to say, this guy is just a D**K. He quickly changed the subject, but continued to diss me about my bike..It's only a 250. Can't you handle a 650..blah, blah, blah... These guys obviously suffer from self esteem issues and compensate by putting other's down, and boasting about themselve's. [sm=icon_beat.gif]

 

I haven't gotten a negative comment yet. Mostly "hey, that's a .. (neat, cool, different, interesting... etc) ... bike". If they ask more questions, I just mention that it does 90mph, can ride on MX tracks, gets 60mpg... oh, and I also have a BMW R1150 in the garage for longer rides and I got bored with going 180mph on the ZX9R I used to have.

A lot of people have trouble understading that sometimes "less is more". A bigger motor means a bigger heavier machine.
