Today while filling up, a guy at the pump next to me came up and said he really liked my bike and what is it? He said he liked it about three times in a short conversation and he was sincere.
I didn't mod my bike for anyone else, just for it to be the way I wanted it, and I love the thing.
However, for some total stranger to come up to me and be so appreciative really made my day, during a great ride in fantastic weather. I thanked him profusely.
Now for some tacos and beer and new Game of Thrones.
I get the "good looking bike" thing at the pumps every so often. Or some guy will talk about a bike they used to have. It's cool to get that kind of thing going, whether they have or had a bike.
Always nice to have someone appreciate your ride once in awhile.. When I am out and about if I see a sweet ride I won't hesitate telling them I like it....Nice to make someone's day as well...
Well if the bike was the one in the bottom of your post, then I can understand why the guy did that. It is a great looking bike. and what bike is that? I don't know all the sportsters and dynas. or some of the softails.
