What do people usually say?

ok so this is a common one.

I say..."I have a motorbike"

they say..."oh I couldn't have a bike I'd kill myself"

I always feel offended as if they are somehow implying that they are more hard core than I am...I think they are either trying to say that they have either no self control or that they'd have no skill on a bike, I'm not sure but it always secretly irks me. :evil

Add to this:
"My Mrs would never let me have a bike" or "I'd never let my husband have a bike, just think what you're putting your wife through every time you go out."

Pisses me off too.  :rolleyes

I generally just tell them to grow a pair, and remind their mrs it's safer than horse riding!
