"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

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"

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.
