I got a nice helping last week at a local meet.

him:is it a ducati?
me:no it's a triumph
him:eek:h so its a cafe racer, thats cool.
me:no it's a naked/streetfighter
light chatting
him:man but those gsx-r's are really nice
more chatting
him:so whats up with the handlebars is it a wheelie bike?
I was laughing pretty hard at him at this point.

The whole convo was pretty entertaining. The fact that it had handlebars blew his mind. He had a very nice M3 tho. :cool:

I shit y'all not; Ive gotten this eight times in the last month.

Dufus on a literbike: "What is it?"
Me: "Triumph Daytona 675. Three cylinder."
Dufus: "Three cylinder? Whas that?"
Me: *blank stare* "cylinders.. the combustion chambers in the engine... you have four, I have three."
Dufus: "so mine goes faster. Haha"

And then my left side goes numb, and I weep for humanity...

You should ask guys that say that, "So just how small is your dick, anyway?"

a friend of mine was using the dumbest logic to justify why he bought a gsxr 750; i can turn in 2nd gear at extremely low speeds without bogging, can your bike do that?

he always tries to ask me to ride my bike (this is his way to find a way to talk shit about things he doesnt own via comparing it to his own shit)\

funny thing is when i got the daytona he didnt know wtf kind of bike it was, weeks later when he saw it in person he was like, it was a toss up between the 750 or the daytona. sad to admit to having such a squidly friend.

Just filled it up at a gas station an hour ago and got a:

"It's a Phazer right? Nice bike I had one"

Then he continued to say when I'm like it's a Triumph;

"It's a Yamaha definitely right?"

I'm like no it's a Street Triple R? He's like oh whatever nice Yamaha..

Some people I tell you...

I've had this thread bookmarked for months waiting, just waiting to contribute.

I had a kid who was maybe 17 ask me what bike I rode. The conversation went like this.
Kid "What bike do you ride"
Me "Street Triple"
Kid *blank look*
Me. "er, Triumph Street Triple"
Kid "Is that a Japanese bike?"
Me "Nahh they're English"
Kid "Is it fast?"
Me "Yeah mate it goes alright" *insert a smirky smile*

I then tried too end the conversation but was polite to ask him about his old man's bike when he brought it up. I felt like the social etiquette dance meant I should :)
