"Yeah, that ole panhead ran out of 1st gear around 80 then Jimmy shifted to second. That took us to 120 then he went for third. I closed my eyes at 135." As told by a cousin's grandfather's brother(notorious fibber) to us boys in 1972.

Must have had a Veglia speedometer.

You have smile at the guy standing there with a cigarette telling you that motorcycling is dangerous.

My gf's sister likes to give us grief that we ride: "I work in healthcare, and I've seen enough to know how dangerous motorcycles are," she says between drags on her cigarette....

Today a woman asked, "How do you keep the pollen from getting in your mouth?"

LowRyter · « **Reply #458 on:** April 02, 2015, 05:52:01 PM »

Pollen isn't stupid. For all the allergy suffering riders out here.

redrider · « **Reply #459 on:** April 03, 2015, 06:57:58 AM »

I'm pretty consistent with honey dosing. 12 hrs and narry a sniffle. Try it. Better than seafoam. ;D

I should have told her I just hold my breath between stops. Or I'm not a mouth breather.

Not verbal really. But you know the wise guy, hitchhiking along a road, with a ton of bulky gear, luggage or maybe his pet goat, that spies you coming down the road on your motorcycle and sticks out his thumb expecting a lift!

oldbike54 · « **Reply #462 on:** August 11, 2015, 10:12:36 AM »

One of my all time favorites , told in different ways but always with the same ridiculous undertone .

" Yeah , my Uncle Bob (Frank , Bill , Gunther ,) well now , he had one of them motorcycles back in the 1950s , looked just like that thing you'ra a riden , out ran the police a buncha times , hell , told us it would do about 140

Actually a guy just related a similar tale to me just this morning . I just smiled and nodded , no sense in disabusing his long held hero worship of Uncle Bob

A guy was broke down on the side of the road near Waco,Texas.
I pulled over and asked him if he needed any help he said "NO I'll wait for another Harley rider to come by and help me".
After I stopped laughing I realized.... he was serious!!!....I just walked away.

My wife asking me just last week, 'how much are all your motorcycles worth?". I told her then she says, we should sell them so we can build a cabin on our property up north. She happened to be in my shop at the time and I picked up my big crescent wrench and must have had a look in my eye....she left.

Half of the motorcycles in my shop ARE my wife's ,so, that really cuts out the "lets sell a couple bikes and buy ......." conversation.

In 95 I was at Road America, riding in a AHRMA Vintage Motocross My oldest brother was there, it was the first race he ever saw. While gassing up before the race he looked at my little 125 Puch, and said " so wheres the engine"

A guy was looking at the Convert yesterday when I was at the grocery store. We got to talking and I told him it was a '76, and very limited production of a torque converter model. He said "Torque converter -- that has spinning vanes like a turbine, yes?" Surprised that he understood that, I said "Yes, indeed -- good call." "So", he asks "Is that why it's got that jet engine in it?"

charlie b · « **Reply #470 on:** August 11, 2015, 08:27:15 PM »

I know it's been mentioned in here, but, the first time it's happened to me.

Guy came up and said he's been thinking about getting a bike like mine instead of the Harley he used to have. Then he said, how much do BMW's go for these days?

Toecutter · « **Reply #471 on:** August 12, 2015, 03:27:49 PM »

Went down to the local Vintage show 'n' shine a few weeks back. A brand loyal motorcyclist was satnding beside his brand nameed bike in his brand named leatehrs, doo-rag, boots, gloves and bandana. Ho looked over at me and at the bike:

"your pipes are bluing"

"yeah, they're not shielded, she runs a little bit lean on the very low end"

"nope. she's rich. Blue pipes mean rich"

"... ok. have a nice day"

I always get a chuckle out of the guys who put a Hayabusa or ZX12 in their rearview mirrors with a stock 80's 750.

Hey, Busas and ZXs can and sometimes do travel near the speed limits.

True , until the wearer of chaps slides down the road at 60 on their derriere , at which time the wearer of said chaps becomes , well , sorta assless . So we can define them as "potential assless chaps" or "chapettes" as the case may be ;D

A few months back I was getting fuel. Guy comes up to me and says "my mate just bought one of them, but his engine is the other way round. Do they go better that way?"

"Yes", says I.

I'll have to think about the stupidest thing EVER.... but for now, this conversation is happening so much recently that I need a snappy comeback.

Me: by my V11 Scura at parking lot, gas station, etc.
Stranger: "Nice bike. What is it?"
Me: "A Moto Guzzi" - (pointing to logo on tank)
Stranger: "Oh, who makes it?"
Me: loss for words.....
