dumbest question about your bike

[Mojo S2R]

I have also one whit an officer (after passing through a red light, ok it really changed to red in the last second but still red it was..):
Officer: "Do you know why I stopped You?"
Me: "Yes, I was going to slow."
Officer: "Excuse me?"
Me: "If I rode 70, I've passed with the light still green.."
Officer: "Get lost!" (laughing..)

Like that.      Gonna have to remember that one.

I was at a bicycle shop checking things out and this guy comes up to me and says " is that your buel out there?". My response was a long pause and then i just said yes. I didnt want to embarass the guy

Don't know if anyone's heard this, but I've had a couple of people ask if my bike had a single cylinder engine ...

OK - this one puzzled me.  My husband and I pulled into the local Honda dealership, each on our monsters, and one of the salesmen said to us... "you looking to buy a sport bike?"  I looked at him and said... "those are our Ducati's outside" and he said "yeah, I saw you ride up on them".
WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?  Are our bikes NOT sport bikes?   HELLO!!!!

I think he meant a bike with fairings ... for him, that's a sport bike.

Remember:
       Fairings = Sport
       No fairings = "open to definition"
This is for today's generation

i like to think of monsters as a "standard" bike.  not to say its not special, but rather the contrary.

our bikes are a "standard" cut of beef.  aka steak.

sportbikes are the hotdogs.  you get more dogs for the money but some of us just have taste...    

edit..
i love me some steak...but i wouldn't mind an 848 hotdog now and then.

Your bike is rolling art, and a standard

Are our bikes NOT sport bikes? 

I would say no.

Just because a guy has conjugal relations with his wife it doesn't mak her a sporting lady.

But, for today's kids, if it has fairings is a sport bike, if it has fairings and a tall windscreen, is a tourer and if it has ONLY 2 cylinders in a V configuration is a CHOPPER ...

[twistdchick]

a NAKED sport bike.... no?

No.

You're saying a Multistrada with a DP Touring windscreen is a chopper?!

Are you making some sort of distinction between an L configuration and a V configuration? Where would a Moto Guzzi Norge fit?

Incidentally, I always think of the typical chopper as having no fairings at all, no windscreen, and being utterly useless for touring.

Can I ride it?

According to Navy regulation, our Monsters are in fact sport bikes and not standards.  In order to ride on base you must take a rider safety course, and because the foot pegs place your feet below you and not in front, they are classified as "sport"   And honestly...what did you expect going to a Honda dealership? They make a CBR with tribal flames for chirst sake...how could you expect them to recognize a monster for what it is??
