Without missing a beat, my gf comes out with "Man, the guy on the Harley is ******".
:lol: Sounds like she's a lot like mine. The blond hates HDs, downright eggs me on if there's a Harley going the same direction and loves the wheelie off the line that starts the stomping.

 
"Is that a BMW?"

From an HD rider: "When are you going to get a real bike?" or "I don't know how you could ride such an uncomfortable crotch-rocket."

"How fast does it go?"

From 'riders' in Oregon: "I don't ride in the rain." :huh: which begs the question, "When DO you ride?"

Donorcycle

"Motorcycles are too dangerous."

Overheard from Old Michael in the WFO parking lot: "Cool exhaust pipe, can I check it out?" Ewwwww

old skool

skid lid

Chick magnet

"[insert color] is the fastest color."

YMMV

 
Okay, here's one along a similar vein.
My gf and I are riding for some fish and chips to Killarney. Killarney is way back in the bush but is home to some spectacular scenery and a Provincial Park - a popular weekend destination. Were tooling along behind about 4 Wings and 1 HD. When we round a bend to see a bunch of guys on bicycles all over the road and cars pulled over. I thought their was an accident. Turns out their was a bear and 2 cubs and everybody stopped to let them get across the road and take pictures. (I have pics of this event should you think I'm making this up)

Well, the guys on the bicycles all rode to the far side of the road and put the cars and bikes between them and the bear(s).

I say "They're fine, the momma bears not gonna come back out with the cubs.. besides, they can ride faster then she can run"

Without missing a beat, my gf comes out with "Man, the guy on the Harley is ******".

Best one's from my late wife. We have two issues here,understand that English is a second language for her, and two she has no interest at all in cars, bikes, boats, or planes, couldn't tell a Chevy from a Ford if it ran over her.
She's at one of those girl parties, Tupperware, Pampered Chief something like that, one of the women said to her " I hear your husband rides a motorcycle, what kind is it? Her response " a blue one". Second woman "does he have a Harley". Her response " no he has a motorcycle".
I'm trying to figure out which one of those is funnier...I think it's a tie. Airboss, if you don't mind, the next time someone asks me if I ride a Harley, I will steal your late wife's line. It's a beaut.

I've said that one before... :eek:

 
"Do you wrench your own?"

"Sweat washes off, road rash don't."

"Smiles Per Gallon"

"She's light, fast and very flickable."

"$10 helmet for a $10 head."

 
"Leather is cheaper than skin grafts..."

"It's never been ridden in the rain.." (another way of saying the ONLY place it has been ridden is back and forth to the shop)

"My job is to bolt on the kickstand. I know that doesn't sound like a very important job. But it is. Because what's a motorcycle without a kickstand? A motorcycle lying on its side." :D
Don't think we have a kickstand issue here, think we have an issue with knowing which side of the bike the kickstand is on. :unsure:

 
Years ago a punch of us technicians were standing around the shop talking and the subject of Motorcycles came up.

Our boss trying to be one of the guys chimed in saying “I use to ride a Harley”, “Oh Yeah” I asked “What Kind?”

He replied “A White one”. :blink: :blink:

Here’s you’re sign! They walk among us and the breed. B)

I see! The rider (Who shall remain nameless but is one who wears a Yellow Dome) reviewed the situation and determined it was the bike's fault. :blink:

Stupid bike! :glare:

Stupid kickstand! :angry2:

Uhm...where IS the kickstand? Did it run away from home? :dntknw:
