Whenever we see another bike while we are out, my 2 1/2 daughter will point out the bike to me.  And then she would ask me "daddy bike better?"  "yes, daddy's bike is better".  My daughter would then nod her head in agreement, as if I had answered her question correctly.   [laugh]

Another biker pulls up next to me at a traffic light (I had just ridden about 30 miles), I had just passed him in the other lane, so he kinda took me by surprise. "Hey man, nice bike!" he says. I turn to say "thanks", but I must have let the clutch out enough and I stalled out... argh!  [bang]

CLASSIC!
I love how, without fail, there's ALWAYS someone around to see you stall out.
You could have been riding motorcycles for 50 years, but you're always perceived as a "noob" when you stall out.  [clap]

On a ride today to Humphrey's Station.  My buddy was on his Harley Fatboy and he had just started it up.  I was on his left side and fired up my monster with the CW GP Tech exhaust...He looked startled and looked down at my bike and said "cuz that doesn't sound good at all."  A nice compliment considering he had straight pipes on his bike  ;D

So it being Cinco De Mayo i figured id take my "scenic" route home after work,which involves around 6 miles of beachside road, and a track down 2nd street in Long Beach, if your not from Souther California this is a big big big street with bars all up and down where people are drunk and get crazy lol. Anyways pull up to a light, and I'm looking to my left at this weird looking car, bring my head to center surprised to see a man with a skateboard about to ask me a question. "whats that noise?" , its the clutch. "oh it sounds like a cam man!" yea its a clutch. "love the bike man!" Then cruise down to second street stop at a light, gorgeous blonde is walking across the cross walk, sees me and the duc, stops dead in her tracks and pulls the top of her dress down and shows me the twins. Yea my smile lasted all the way till this morning.

Boobies!!!!  [thumbsup]

What a pleasant way to give a greeting and a complement.  It should happen more often. [clap]

My buddy confided in me that he feels inadequate riding with me because my bike is sexier (he rides a Ninja 650R) and nobody takes a second glance at him.

About a year before I got my Monster 696 I was riding with a buddy going to lunch, we pulled up next to an older gentleman with a heavy Russian accent, he leaned out of the van window and said:

"You's-a got-a number one (pointing at my buddies Suzuki SV 650) and you's-a got-a number two (pointing at me and my DRZ400s).  -Thus I was forced to upgrade and get a REAL bike!   ;D
