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
