Stupid questions people ask you when stopped

...and I get that last one all the time...NOT!

Now that I think about it, I get those questions ALL THE TIME. Man, that's some harsh self-realization, dude. Now, I'm bummed out. I might be stupid. Or my parents fed me paint chips as a kid.

1. I ride a Road King.

2. She was actually a pretty attractive lady.

She told me "Dont go anywhere, I'll be right back. We're going for a ride!". I still had not said one word to her. I waited about 1 minute and left. Thought it was gonna be my lucky night. Then gave it a second thought. I put on my helmet and rode off alone.

Seems like you missed out on an adventure "ride".

Me taking off my helmet: "Thanks. You're not so bad yourself."

Got a little laugh out of her. Thank goodness that's all it got out of her, or my wife would have killed me.

That's great. I can only hope I get that same opportunity. And more importantly, remember to say that!

Not stupid, just two funny comments in the parking lot today on the way to work in 30F:

First guy - Enjoy, this could be one of the last riding days for you till the spring.

Second guy - This is the latest motorcycle I have seen this year. (wouldn't that be the case even in the summer?)

WTF

I just got off a motorcycle, in south Mississippi, in a casino. I don't get uppity with her because I'm coming into work and I might run into these folks while on the casino floor. I kindly look at the map and show it to her and her husband and say its a map of the Mississippi river delta, you know, the end of the road from my last ride.

Man, old people need to stay home and watch TV.

She might have been wondering WTF, a map of Hawaii in his tank bag, doesn't this kid know he's in the Mississippi river delta? Or maybe she rides in Hawaii and thought you might have, too. Perhaps she was just curious why you needed a map to ride to work?

With an attitude like that my friend you may never reach old age if you get uppity to an old woman in front of the wrong old man.

Kids, today!

There's a town on the Gulf Coast called Diamondhead, maybe she saw that and was thinking about the one in Hawaii?

Waiting on a ferry in Norway on the way to the Nordkapp on my BMW1150GSA in 2003...............A Norweigian rider on a BMW R1150RT pulls up alongside after doing a slow ride round to see my numberplate and says.......

I'm sorry i thought you were a German.......Can i buy you a coffee?

It seems some Norweigians have a very long memory!

Arriving in the small, very cold, remote town of Isafjordur, Westfjords, Iceland Mrs P and I get off the GS and go into a cafe for some much required sustenance............We sit down at a table to read the menu and order our meal when this guy comes over who we don't know from Adam having never been there before...........Sits down at our table and says...............

Hi, you must be Chris and Anne i heard you were heading this way a couple of days ago when you met my son in law(a couple of hundred miles away) and thought I'd wait and have a look at your bike!


Outside the local BMW dealership in Edinburgh getting ready to get on the bike and go home with Mrs P, two young 'streetwise' rough looking boys come up and have a look at the bike when one of them says matter of factly........

Kid(in a broad Scottish accent the same as Wullie in the Simpsons)....Hey mister, whits thaaaat furrr?

Me....Oh, er it's my GPS!

Kid....Dae ye no ken yur way haim like.........?

I used to walk my daughter in her stroller. Loads of females would walk up, look at the baby and say, "Awww. How cute!"

I'd say, "thanks! What do you think of the baby?"

Nice. You can't go wrong with babies and puppies.
