Contender or Pretender
I'm just in from a quick 120 mile ride and had a gas station experience that made me want to start this thread. It is almost a guarantee that while stopped for gas or to take a quick stretch that someone walks over to me to talk about riding, my bike, their bike etc... I've actually met some great folks this way(Contenders) then I've also met some tools(pretenders) W/o doubt it seems that as someone is approaching I can sift out who can ride and who's full of shit.
Just wondering what visual, verbal, audio, cues let you know that it's time to put the tall boots on or to not accept that invite to ride along? Based upon your experiences What weird or cool experiences have you had just kicking it at the gas station? Last edited by tached1000rr; 06-19-2011 at 06:44 PM.. |

"Is that a Harley?"
I get "How fast does it go?" constantly. |

with the DRZ, it's quite rare, but I'll get anything from "how fast does that go?" to "is that street legal?" to "what size is that" all honest questions with only the street legal one seeming like a stupid question
when I had my RR... it was 90% "how fast does that go" with the other 10% being "how fast have you gone... I'd kill myself on one of those" now I tend to not pay people any notice while at the station... well... actually the DRZ is dead ATM so... LOL |

on the CBR - Can you wheelie/will you wheelie/how far can you wheelie on the KLR - does that do highway speeds?

People don't know what the hell my vfr is. I just laugh when I see their face expressions just know they're trying to figure out what it is.
