After talking about my ride:
"Yea, but isn't riding a motorcycle dangerous?"

- October 05, 2011, 02:21:51 AMEarlier this year I had a friend over from Florida he jumped on the back of the 1500 so we could have a look down into my wonderful city.
At the time I had a set of short LOUD pipes on the bike and after we had a walk around the cathedral I started the bike up whilst we were putting our lids on.
As it sat thumping away a guy came across and said "There`s only one sound like that in the world"
So being pedantic I replied "What sound is that then ?"
He said, "That Harley sound"
Cheekily I replied, "I think you need your hearing sorted along with your eyesight" as I pointed to the Kawasaki badge on the tank. My friend just stood there laughing.
"What year is your Harley" seems to be a popular one.

- September 14, 2011, 18:03:58 PMWhile in Hawaii on vacation, I rent a bike for a couple weeks. Pull into a local watering hole and this drunk chick asks me where I'm from. I tell her Canada. She says " Wow, that must be one long ferry ride." As I try not to laugh too hard I notice her husband sitting beside her repeatedly banging his head on the bar crying, "She's good in bed". So what else is a man to do? I buy him a beer, pat him on the shoulder and say to him, "I hope so".

- September 07, 2011, 19:53:32 PMI live in Wisconsin so I ride as long as the roads are not slippery or salt covered (just needed to setup my story).
I will come into work at least a couple times a year when the temp is in the lower 30's or upper 20's and someone will say "Isn't it too cold to ride a motorcycle today?" and my response is always "Nope, it's just too warm to take the snowmobile in today."

- September 07, 2011, 18:56:34 PMUsually, when someone asks me if I rode my motorcycle to work, when I'm standing there holding my hemet and jacket, I just tell them "No, they're shooting me out of a cannon later tonight." Usually the men laugh, but the women just say " Oh, Ok" and walk away.

- August 02, 2011, 13:13:24 PM1. (most common) "Why is your bike so loud?"
2. (Random douche at a gas station) "Nice assless chaps." (me) "Sorry I can't hear you over how awesome I am!"
3. (occasional random drunk chicks) "Can I have a ride?" To which I point at the luggage rack with complete lack of anything resembling a rear seat...

Posted by chief
- January 24, 2011, 16:12:11 PMLet's not let this degenerate into a harley vs us discussion. there are PLENTY of those stories around.
I had a lady look at my bike and ask if it was a harley. I said no, its a Vulcan Drifter... she looked at the graphics on my tank and said..."oh a swedish harley"... I just laughed and told her the word on the tank was Gaelic. Blank look.... ahh... war cry for Clan Campbell... she said ok... but as she walked off she told her friend... he's with an outlaw biker clan and that bike is a Swedish harley... he friend looked back at me as they picked up their pace.
I stopped at a little convenience store for fuel. A guy on a slightly customized harley pulled up next to the door about the time I went in. He looked at the Drifter and did the nice bike thing... but he identified it as a Vulcan... I complemented his bike... He pulled off his gloves and said..."I'd rather have yours any day!"... took me totally by surprise. I just smiled and wished him a safe ride.

- July 01, 2010, 18:57:24 PMI remember back when I was 16 and just learning to ride. One day, I found myself in the back seat of my grandmother's car with my dad; she was driving. We were at a stop light and there was a motorcycle facing us, waiting to drive through the intersection.
My grandmother said, "Watch that motorcyclist try to drive through the intersection before I have a chance to turn in front of him; what gal!"
My dad and I scrunched down in our seats speechless.
The guy survived.
