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

then?

Probably quite smart compared to the dumbest thing a biker has asked

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?"

It always seems to be "how fast can it go?".

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...

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!!

"Is it diesel or petrol?"

(Or when I had my Varadero 125):
"Is that a 400, mate?" Oh how I laughed.

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...."

That's a bit harsh darrsi, dumping a lass because her sister's thick...
