C14- Most stupid things people ask when stopped?

[dvitous]

Me and a buddy of mine were headed to the Dragon from the Chicago area.  Made it as far as Lexington, KY with only a lunch stop before I opted to pull over for a rest.  I was afraid I was gonna open my eyes and realize I'd gone straight thru a curve!


Anyway... pull into a rest area, and head for the bathroom.  Come out, and my buddy is sprawled out on his back on the sidewalk in front of his bike, nappin'.  Out cold.


2 women standing over him... and as I walk up, they say in that Kentucky drawl... "Is he all right?!"

I've had 2 different Z06's try to race me. They both had a shocked look on their face when this giant bagger smoked them.

I am not sure why any non-super-exotic-car driver would be surprised at easily being beaten by ANY sporty motorcycle.  Are they ignorant or just stupid?

Yes
They can't imagine their 50k ego trip being beaten by a 10k motorcycle.

Both

The young Mustang GT drivers I've found to be almost as _______ as TSA employees.

They like to impress their GF's by $#%ing with my Connie14 when Teressa and I are two up at red lights.  I smoke  'em so bad I motion for them to "c'mon" the whole way through it.  Then i purposely wait for them to get to the next red light, and wave at their GF and stuff

I'm not much of a street racer but there's no way my old GT would outrun the C14.

What is it with those guys? Had one of them get out of his car because he cut ME off, and got mad that I ended up right on his arse. That was fun. I just went around him and took off before he could do anything.

On topic... I enjoy when little kids stare. I try to wave at them when I see it, as it usually ends up making them smile. Just doing my part to promote the "happy motorcycle rider" image to the next generation.

Me too! I always enjoy the smiles of the little ones.  My last wave at a couple kids oogling out thier back window resulted in a frenzy of waves back and a nice smile from Ma & Pa as I passed 'em.

It's always nice to wave to the kids. I remember when i was a kid traveling x-country by car with the family in the 70s, and seeing the bikers on the road. My brother and I vowed then and there to get bikes when we got older. Now we ride together. Brothers in life, and Brothers on bikes.

I always get a kick out of this one. I ride year round so I get this a lot. "Do you realize how cold it is?"

me too. I also remember when I was a kid and thought that bike riders are the coolest thing after an astronaut. Still do.

Playing those games can be fun but it can also get you in BIG trouble. If I tired something like that with my wife on the back, well, let's just say that it wouldn't turn out well at all.

Me too. On the very rare occasions when my wife is on the back I can't even approach half throttle without her hitting me on the back and yelling "SLOW DOWN".

[Cuda]

You mean you have room for a second person?
My Smuggler takes up all the space
If someone wants to ride with me they need to find a ride
SOLO

That's my wife's middle name! She tells me that it's not that she really minds going fast, it's that leaning business in the turns that she doesn't like, just don't lean so much!   

[tweeter55]

You gotta tell her "No lean...No turn"

[Conrad]

I've tried, believe me!

[VirginiaJim]

Of course, you could have the wife that wants to help stabilize the bike by putting her feet down.  Took me awhile to figure out that one.  Couldn't understand why I was having trouble at stops....
