I've lived in the same house for 30 years with the same neighbor, she
knows well that I have owned many bikes over the years..
So, I was taking a scoot around the neighborhood on my Shortster
(1972 Harley minibike), and she comes up to me and says..
"those thing are really dangerous, you shouldn't be riding them"
I just shook my head and said "ummm, OK" LOL

The most ignorant and annoying comments I get are the ones about Harleys being unreliable and leaking oil and all that....
Usually from crotch rocket riders who then proceed to bitch about how their bike is "down again".
In 18 years and 4 Harley's, I've had them in the shop 3 times. First was admittedly a factory flaw: bad headgasket on a new Sporty. Fixed in an hour and never a problem after that. Second was a non-HD exhaust bracket that was bent and pinching a wire. Third was because my dumb a$$ dropped my bike like a retard.
But I literally had a guy making serious bad-mouthing about HD's being crap quality and all that, while at the same time complaining about how his GSXR has broken down *5* times within the last year.

At a company function, a colleague's wife tells me that she heard I ride a bike. She goes on to say "so you're an organ donor?" I just said, "sure am... open wide."

That's why I love my wife.
When a VERY sexy redhead friend wanted me to take her for a ride on my Softail, I pointed out that I only had a solo seat.
So the MrsGru just went "Hell, take her out on my bike...it vibrates more anyway. Just don't hurt it."

Let's hear them! Whether you read it, heard it, or said it....
Here's mine,
When I was just 15 I got a motorcycle Honda 250 and it was used and ridden hard even before I bought it! It made a rattling noise and when I asked older boys they told me to check the MUFFLER BEARINGS! !

In the Army it was the classic "blinker fluid" and "elbow grease".
My first unit was an Intel unit & since we used lots of maps, our gig was to send the new guy for a "box of grid squares."
One kid got it over on us, though.
When he realized it was a joke, he found an old obsolete map....and proceeded to cut it up along the grid lines. He then put all the pieces in a box and brought it to us.
Best private I ever had working for me.
