Yesterday while I was taking the fairings off my bike an old guy on a full-size tricycle rode up and started asking me if my "scooter" had an electric battery. He then proceeded to talk at me for a good fifteen minutes about the Chinese and their amazing battery powered scooters. I have never, in my life, wanted so badly to die.

You know me, I've never bugged the kid about anything. I suppose he did get a lot of picking on for asking certain questions that led people to believe he'd never ridden before. Actually, any young male on a 600 as a first street bike kinda scares me. Too many seem to leave us early. |

Things people say about your ninjette that make you lol
So I was riding my bike around my work plaza on my break and I stopped to let some people cross the road. I didn't have my helmet on so I heard this next question very clear. A guy looks at me and asks "Is that a Ducati?" I almost fell off my bike lol
What have you heard that made you laugh? |

I was riding through a construction zone & when the worker turned the sign from stop to slow he motioned for me to do a wheelie. I couldn't help but smile and just gave him a nod.

"250 isn't enough power to 'get out of the way' when needed"
"With my Ducati, I go 0-60 in under 4 seconds, so I have enough power to get out of the way or get in front of that car" "You should upgrade to MINIMUM 500cc" "What's the difference between a sport or a supersport? You should get a gixxer. Is a supersport like a busa?" all from the same douche within 5 minutes.

I get that too from time to time since I ride and smoke. I usually just look at their gut (if they have one or not) and tell them "So do cheeseburgers."

I was at the gas station today and a dude with a lifted truck and upgraded exhaust asked me "What mileage do you get with that?" after I replied 50mpg he couldn't stop giggling.

Today I got:
"There you go, Boo" Pretty classic. I've also gotten a bunch of "you ride a motorcycle?!" when I'm walking into my building with my helmet and jacket in tow. In my head I'm thinking: "nah, I just think it makes me cool if I walk around with an armoured jacket and helmet all the time!" |

I've been asked what the top speed is, and when i reply with 160 kph, the guy said "that's all?"
Coming from a guy who owns neither a car or a bike. And minor heart attacks and strokes when I tell people the fuel efficiency, but that's an Indian thing :P

The bikes here are generally below 150cc, so they do have pretty good mileage figures. 250-300 would be pushing it though... Lol 100-150mpg would be closer to the mark...

I was at a party at my friend's house one night and their pretentious dick roommate was home. I had been getting a lot of really great feedback from people about my Ninjette, especially being the only girl in the group to even have their license/motorcycle. But this guy just couldn't let me soak in the glory!
him: Yeah, so I heard you got a bike. What is it, a 600? me: No, it's a 250. him: What?! You should have gone with at least a 600! Then upgraded to a 1000, you can't do anything with your little bike. me: Why would I need a bigger bike, I'm a beginner and it's not like I'm going to be pulling wheelies and ****. him: No, because you can't pull wheelies on a 250. me: Hmmm, let me just recap... do you even have a motorcycle anymore? him: No, I sold it... me: Ahh, well then how about you can give me a hard time about my motorcycle choice when you actually have one. him: *turns head to talk to the guy next to him* |
