I work in a small shop of about 8 people and finally rode to work and they were checking out my bike and giving me a hard time about it being a sportster (jokingly of course). Anyways one of the guys nobody really likes (except the boss) was walking over to it and was like "don't tell me you got a sportster" and hes looking at it and saying how he would never buy a sportster. This guy is like 50 years old and is about 5'4" 130 lbs so its really hard to listen to him talk like hes a badass without laughing. Anyways so I ask him what kind of bike he would buy, "a nightster" is his reply. I inform him that he is retarded and a nightster is a sportster, and he asks me like i'm an idiot if I even knew what kind of engine a nightster has, when I tell him its a 1200 sportster he then starts talking about some crotch rocket he wants to get blah blah. Anyways only me and another guy know anything about bikes at work so nobody else was able to appreciate this as much as me, so I just wanted to share this and was wondering if anybody else knows people like this or has had stuff like this happen.

 

Never had this type of stuff happen where I work, but if I were you I would have a blast messin' with these nitwits! Surely can't be too tough!
Especially the Nightster dude.....
****...I am jealous!!

 

I've had people look at my Dyna and say "nice Sportster".

I've also had people ask me "did you ride that bike here?"
Nope, had a helicopter drop it off so i could stand by it in the parking lot and look cool.

 

There is a dude at my job who told me the sportsters engines are built in Japan and shipped over. Then they just "stamp" made in America on the side.

Hey same dude told me the Ford raptor only came with a diesel engine. Lmao love messing with those people.

 

I haven't had anything like this happen. Nothing but compliments from the people I work with including the guys with bigger bikes.

 

So because the guy is 50 he's retarded. Nice.

 

i usually dont dignify those kinda people with a response, i figure if they wanna believe that they know what they are talking about, i will just let them show how stupid they are and let it hit them in the face when the time comes... you cant fix stupid

 

Here's some free advise, A mind is a terrible thing not to mess with.

 

I know a guy at work like that. Doesn't ride, never had a bike. Any time he's ever mentioned anything bike-related he's always proved what dick he is, he's a dick about a lot of things so i avoid contact & conversation with him as much as possible.

 

I've always noticed that its the ones without bikes that talk ****. I'm in the military so there are a ton of riders where I work. Anyone with a bike will tell me that they're just glad I'm riding (it can be pretty difficult to get authorization to ride in the military). I like to ask the ones who never owned a bike or don't currently have one where their bike is. They'll usually shut up after that. Or I'll tell them to hop on and go for a spin and let everyone laugh when they don't know how to get out of first gear or even put it in gear.
