Thinking along the lines of what I've been asked:
"Do bikes have special tyres or are they just car tyres?"
and
"I bet you get wet on that thing when it rains"
or
"Is it cold on a bike during winter?"
whats had you :rollin then?
-
Why you got your name on your bike fraser?
-
is it fast ????
-
Are the blue ones faster? :lol
-
I havn't got a bike licence but can I have a go....

'Whats the dummest thing a non biker has asked you?'
Probably quite smart compared to the dumbest thing a biker has asked :lol
-
"Can you still ride along if you have a puncture ? " FFS!
-
"Are you mental?"
-
"Are you mental?"
Answer: of course! :lol
-
"Are you mental?"
Answer: of course! :lol
A guy at work asked me and my reply was more like: "You have a 3/4 mile walk to the car park, a 20 minute queue to get out onto the road, straight into queueing traffic and you ask me if I'm mental?" :D
-
It always seems to be "how fast can it go?".
-
Do you need a bike to do the Brands Hatch road skills day?!....Now, who was it that said that? :lol
-
'Whats the dummest thing a non biker has asked you?'

Do I hear the pained yelpings of the guy who's had his ass whipped on his own thread?
Say, Luke, when was the last time your speedy Thou (fastest thing on 2 wheels) overtook Deefer's STANDARD 600? Oh yeah, I thought not...
-
Where do sit when you go on the Chunnel ?

Both the above plus how "how fast is it" and "seriously, you don't pay Congestion Charge or Parking" - nope just a quid a day in Westminster "a feckin quid"........
Aaaaaand the classic "how many times you come off it" - feck off!! :lol

'must take you ages to deliver anything outside of London cause you're not allowed on the motorways are you?'

Summer time if its hot
" I bet your hot in that lot arnt you"
My stock reply
"Not at 150 mate"

-
"Is it diesel or petrol?"
(Or when I had my Varadero 125):
"Is that a 400, mate?" Oh how I laughed. :lol :lol
Or even the old favourite:
Them: "What bike is that?"
Me: "A Fazer 600"
Them: "Oh, cool - what size engine does it have? Bigger or smaller than an R1?"
Me: Facepalm.

When I got fetched of my harley fatbob just outside of a petrol station in Peterborough by young girl in her first car, the bloke working in the garage wandered over as I was picking it up, looked at me bike and said "ahh, that's a shame, I love Harvey's..."
And there's always that bloke who says..
" I always wanted a bike but my mum wouldn't let me have one.."
"Well, why don't you get one now?"
" my wife won't let me...." :rolleyes
-
` Did I see you on a Harley earlier?`
`No`
`Oh I thought it was you in a green jacket`
` I havent got a green jacket`
` No, I didnt think you had`!!!!!!!!!!

Is it just me, or do you get the same thing when you talk to a stranger and they find out you ride a bike, then they immediately give away their very little knowledge of bikes by saying "I've got a mate who's got an R1"
It really bugs me. :wall

Stop at a shop dressed in full leathers, helmet in hand and I'm asked "Oh! Do you ride a motorbike"? :wall
My standard answer "No I always dress like this just for the heck of it"
-

Yep, I go to work wearing all my kit, carrying my helmet and get asked "did you come on the bike tonight?" He's not even taking the piss either. ::)
-
I filled up and went to pay and the lady said are you on the bike. I still had my helmet on. What gave it away said I. You walk funny in those boots says she.

shoei mc fee, :lol

Went out one winters evening rain lashing down. to meet a group of friends. I walk into room in DRY light coat (Used Cage to get there) -no gloves, jacket, helmet, m/c trousers or boots. One says " Are you on the bike this evening?"!!!! :rolleyes
-
Full leathers, biker gloves, crash helmet. Go to barbers, have haircut and at the end he asks.... "You wanna some gel"? :-D
-
"Are you crazy?.......Your gonna die! :D
-
a lady friend of mine asked once how long is your chopper :D
-
standard question when someone discovers i ride a motorbike at work (its a bit corporate so mainly middle-class oxbridge second home in provence types)
"is it a Harley"
to which i reply "no", next question
"is it a chopper"
to which i reply "no" next question
"do you wear chaps"
to which i reply "no"
It might be easier and save time to explain from the outset that Easy Rider was a 1960`s film and poster from the US
to be fair the conversation in the opposite direction when i ask "do you have a boat" goes like this,
me "has it got a big feck off engine"
to which they reply "no"
me "are you rowing it"
to which they reply "no its a sailing dinghy laser class"
your thinking of Miami Vice or the University boat race
-
Not so much a question but a dumb saying I have heard a few times is "I'd kill myself on a bike" - like getting on one relieves them of their self preservation
-
I was once asked why my bike was called a gene 515 :eek
No its a GENESIS :lol

Perhaps theyre concealing their fear or lack of the required skills to ride behind a sort of bravado?
-
"Do you know what speed you were doing sir?" :o
-
"Do you know what speed you were doing sir?" :o
Oops.
-
"Do you know what speed you were doing sir?" :o
Whats worse-- saying that you dont know how fast, or admiting that you were that fast.

As the biking bug was biting me in the 1980s, I started buying motorcycling magazines. I had no real idea back then what they were waffling on about (I was 15 or so I think, coulodn't drive and the family didn't have a car). My dad was silent on the issue (his brother whom I was named after died in a bike accident in WWII).
My mum didn't approve. She kept wondering aloud how there could be so much news on motorcycles every week or every month and weren't all the "stories" just boring repeats! Years later, when she saw my FZ1 she was impressed!
Apart from that possibly understandable nonsense, I have remembered a silly incident from over ten years ago. I was working at a startup and had trundled to a company to install the software we were creating. I was on my Fazer 600 at that time.
When I was done with the installation and tutorial, I called the office on my mobile from the car park. After conversing with my boss for nearly fifteen minutes, he started getting a bit flustered. He thought I was calling him on my mobile whilst riding the bike and he was fearful I would fall off!

"Eat here or take away?"

Standing at a till wearing Hein gerrick jacket and trousers carrying my crash helmet I asked for some directions and the assistant asked if I was driving a car.

"Does it hurt if you come off?" Of course not, it feels like being licked by rainbow ponys!
"My mates got a bike, its a blue one...do you know him" oh the bloke on the blue bike, of course I know him, why didn't you say so before? TWAT
"Looking at you I would have thought you would ride a Harley" What? Are you calling me a homosexual?
"Why do you have a bike that does 160 if you only allowed to do 70 in this country?" Why the fuck does your car do 110 then?
"Why is one of your brakes hydraulic and one cable?" (looking at the levers on the bars) There are no words that can be used to respond to a question like this just a head shake and a slow walk away
-
when I got my brand new BMWF650 in 96 rode round to show parents & mum asked " where's the number plate?" she meant the one on the front as the last bike they had in '63 was a BSA lol!
-
:lol quality, a bloke at work insists my bike is a fraser despite numerous times of me telling him, i gave up in the end
That's funny - I used to have a Honda Fireplace.
-
"Are motorcycles not dangerous?"
-
At some point, I want to tow a Fazer - behind a Fazer!!! :lol
Well, you're half way there. You just need the running Fazer to do the towing........
