Answer: mine.

This thread has been cracking me up - I hope I can come up with witty responses when the time comes.

My usual response: "For $15,000 cash in hand, yes, you can. If you drop it, you bought it." (Hey, maybe someone will be rich and/or stupid enough!)

A common one from people I know,

"Oh, I thought you meant you rode bicycles. I was wondering why you had a fancy helmet."

I was in a resturant wearing a new pair of Tourmaster pants a few years back. A couple at an adjacent table, after some discussion between them, asked, "What kind of pants are those?". I started to explain that I was a professional dancer and the pants were part of the stage dress. Their expressions were priceless but I had to let them in on the ruse...

It was funny at the time.

Me, riding my 97 DR350se at night pull up to a red light, left turn lane, with some teenagers in the car next to me. They have the window down. They ask is that a street bike or a dirt bike, the light changes to green and I reply, yep.

I was meeting some friends at a restaurant/bar last fall, I walked in wearing my full ATTGATT. one of the other denizens inside commented, "What, did you ride your snowmobile here?"



I deadpanned, "Yes, Jackass... from you Mom's house."

Much hilarity ensued....

That's probably a reasonable question around Boulder

A fellow motorcyclist approached me while parking at a restaurant today: Looking at the front of my GTS... "Is that a SHOCK absorber?" Maybe not such a stupid question but the emphasis on "SHOCK" made me laugh.

LOL. I had to take a second look myself the first time I saw that.

I've been waiting for someone to describe their attire as the new European Space suit design. Further, to explain that one's a co-pilot on a test flight, and is taking a coffee while the pilot makes running repairs a couple of blocks away on the EU DLR Phoenix number #2 sub-orbital prototype!





For convincing effects, why not fake up a badge or an armband?

The wilder the story , the more their jaws will drop!!!

On the ferry between Port Angeles, WA and Victoria, BC. Got the bike stowed away and locked up the helmet but I keep my crash green coat on. Up on deck I keep getting folks come up to me and ask questions about the boat and the trip over and where the bathrooms are. Finally, I give up telling people I am not part of the crew and start making up answers for their questions.
How many cars does this thing hold.....several thousand depending on how they are parked.
What do we do in the fog......slow down!
Where is the anchor.....under neath.
How many people work on the boat.........legally or illegally?
Where's the bathroom.......I tried to send them to the farthest one from where we were.
After all this I decided to go to the snack bar and almost got away with getting a employee discount.
Funny thing is the whole crew wore black shirts of black jackets.
