In my short span of my bike the usual comment I receive is "My wife/husband won't let me have one" or "it must be very fast." I don't rub it in by telling how amazing is the bike... their in enough pain as it is just from gazing & drooling.
You are FAR too nice! :huh:
The correct answer to. "My wife won't let me have one."???
I say, "Too bad for you, life is too short not to be enjoyed." :glare:
Then I tell them about the feedom, enjoying the roads & scenery, new like-minded friends, etc., etc. I regale them about riding 200miles to meet up with friends for lunch and return home on a long and winding road. How lovely it is to ride Hwy 1 along the CA coast in the Summer, the awesome ride through the Giant Redwoods that grow over the road like a tunnel, the Sierra Nevada passes and name them: Donner, Meyers, Carson, Monitor, Ebbett's, Sonora, Tioga, et., etc., etc.
My favorite response when people ask, "Is it fast?"
I tell them, "My daughter thinks it should be patently illegal for her dad to ride a bike that will go from 0 to 60 in just over 3 seconds!" :yahoo:
THEN leave them gazing and drooling. :dribble:
