Stupid Questions You Hear - Page 4

When I got my Hornet after having my ninja 250 for a couple years so many people asked me, "isn't this black one slower than the green one you used to have?" In a why-would-you-buy-a-slower-bike tone.

Or, "how come you bought a cruiser after riding a sportbike?" There was so much fail in that question I just couldn't respond.

I just hate it when people say, "you're gonna ride in this: cold, rain, storm, traffic, etc.?" My response was always, "it's either that or walk home in this cold, rain, storm traffic, etc."

I've got another gem.

Buying groceries at Walmart at lunch. Cashier holds up a cucumber and asks "What is this?"

You should have told her to use her imagination.

Myself and a couple friends were at a rest stop this weekend, there were a small group of Harleys there too.

My friend has a new CBR-1000rr, which I asked to sit on. I was saying the seat height was lower than I excepted. One of the Harley dudes, said something like "you excepted it to be higher cause you are used to sitting on the high back seat".

I just bit my tongue and said nothing.

Maybe she was playing dumb, fishing for a opportunity to show you how to really "use" those things.

Sorry, I'm letting my fantasies overrun my mind.

"How tall are you?"

"Do you play basketball?"

"Are you famous?" Because how many famous people do you have ask about being famous. . .

After trading a few emails with my insurance company today, I want a thread about stupid ANSWERS.
