Stupid questions people ask you when stopped

This one says it all!



And the picture above confirms it.

Gail, this does not count - guys are always swarming around you......

A pack of HD's heading to Salem, MA near Halloween-time: the mind boggles.

Fixed my font color for the color blind.......

I was staying at a small country B&B while touring on my '73 Bonneville and the proprietors 16 year old son asked if he could have a ride. I told him if he could start it he could ride it. Fair dues to the lad, he leapt all over it trying to get it started but he just didnt have the knack. I was so impressed at his determination I started it for him and let him ride it down their drive to the main road. He did remark that it had a bit more go than his moped, and he never even got it out of first gear.

Maroon is also acceptable.

AND:

spelt is a grain.

Spelled would be the correct spelling. Homonyms are the bane of the English language.

Spelt and spelled aren't supposed to be homonyms. Enunciate man!

Thanks for making that point.

I know.

Enuciation is another problem these days.

Only in America mate.

...back on track please:

My wifes uncle a thrifty farmer was out in the field working. I rode my airhead out to talk. He asked for a ride back. He was on looking at the right cylinder closely leaning over. He then wanted to look at the left one and quickly did. I almost dumped it in the field.

After a long hot day in the saddle I pulled into my local gas station in Loveland, CO to top off the tank before heading home. On a whim I decided to use cash instead of the card (I too usually stay on the bike and use a card) and after topping off went in to pay. I still had the gloves, sunglasses, and full faced helmet on (all black including leathers) when I got to the front of the line and the attendant asks me "Are you riding a motorcycle?" Normally I would simply have responded in the affrmative and went on my way but it was a hot day and I was whipped and caught a little off guard as I was the only vehicle at the station and she could clearly see it out her window. So instead I say "No, I'm here to rob you." (Almost as dumb a response as the question) as her eyes turn to saucers and the blood drains from her face I quickly tell her I am joking and it has been a long day...she immediately returned to her nonplussed and detached demeanor as if I had never been there.

That particular situation sticks in my mind but I get asked that question frequently at stops while in full riding gear.

That could have turned out ugly:eek1

Not funny. You can get pretty easily plugged that way not to say how much distress you afforded some innocent chick trying to make a living.

No argument from me Slide..one of those moments where the complete lack of any kind of attention to anything from a person set me off (inappropriately obviously). Not my typical style...and there was no worry of anykind from this girl...she was oblivious to her own existence. The back story here was the 3 kids trying to buy candy in line before me that she could barely manage to speak to without being rude...again, I know I was in the wrong.

Wow !! old long topic my one ride is a 76 goldwing & soooo many times i get asked what type of bike it is. After i tell them it`s a goldwing , they say so thats what they look like after you crash one (bike came naked new). I also own an FJR1300 & just about every one says (nice BMW) then i tell them it`s a Yamaha & they ask me when did they start building bikes like that , i tell them since 2002 (and all i get is oh!!)

Well this is not a stupid question but more of a stupid driver.
I park my bike in a parking space and the one to the right of me was avalible too, when I came out of the store this is what I find!!!!!
The lady got mad at me for taking a picture of her truck, and when I said my thoughts, she got in locked the doors and waited on me to leave:huh

It looks like the Tan vehicle to the right is all the way to the Left of its spot. Not leaving enough room for the Red truck to park next to it without gatting a door ding.

I see nothing wrong with this. She gave you pleanty of room.

Really you see nothing wrong with it huh, well I do, she had plenty of room to fit in here space up too the yellow line and I needed to load all 3 bags. I am sure if it was you it would be a diffrent story
