In the spring, I rode to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription.

The kid behind the counter asked You got a real cycle or a Harley?

"Would you like that for here or to go?"

Yeah, I'm going to take a medium iced tea and three open dishes in the backpack that I don't have.

Haha.

I've gone through drive throughs on my motorcycle. That gets more dumb looks than dumb questions. Understandable because only a dumbass would go through a drive through on a motorcycle.

The one that bugs me is do you worry about crashing?

I do that too... only to Tacobell though... just shove the burrito's in my jacket


another is so how fast have you gone on it? or is that pretty fast?


another I got just the other day... a really young airman probably 18 came up and I know he was just wanting to talk to me as I'm an MTL and he just wanted to be notice... but he looks at my bike and reads "dual sport 400" and asks... Sgt Eberhardt, sir is that one of those Dual Sport 400s? those are cool!" I said... glad to know the Air Force isn't gonna have to teach you how to read. and laughed... he was a little embarrassed but got the point... and we started talking about the bike

The all time dumbest question was when I returned to the dealer to pick up my bike after the break in period was over. After having the bike 2 weeks I had 900 miles on it and it was time for that first oil change.

He asked me if I was back because I had wrecked. SIGH. I said nope! Just hear for the oil change, thanks.

I once had a cop at Vanderbilt Hospital where I worked ask me what I rode. I told him a 2004 Ninja 250. He then said "Why do you need to wear all that gear you have on? Those bikes will only do like 90mph right?" I told him try dragging your bare ass down the road at 90mph and tell me how it feels. I then found out he had an R1 and likes to stunt and "go fast" every chance he gets. Go Figure. Cop Squid!

Oh and I was riding with a friend home from the HSTA rally in Helen GA and was up on Monteagle in about 40degree weather when some old redneck man walked up to me and said "man you sure must be a tough girl be to riding a motorcycle in such cold weather" I told him I had REALLY big ovaries. That got a priceless look as he walked away.

Not about the bike but I absolutely cannot stand when someone says "Can I ask you a question?"

You just did....now just ask the damn question.

Azoomm....I get the "isn't that dangerous" about the track too. Safest place I've ever ridden.
