RE: Dweebs
remember as motorcyclist we are each an ambassador of our group to the rest of the world..
the way we ride
the way we answer questions to the non-motorcycle community
the way we present ourselves at hotels, restaurants, stores etc.
not everyone understands or cares about our rights, safety or motorcycle issues..
i try to take a minute to educate the non-motorcycle community about us every time the chance comes up.
remember we are a small group in a large world,,most people do not care about us or more than likely have a sour opinion because of something they have seen or heard about...and before we say "who gives a sh*t" remember these non-riders vote, complain and can make life easier or a pain in the @@SS..if we want special motorcycle parking, more automobile driver education, lower tolls etc. we have got to play the game..

I like the way "im" has answered it, personally I'm a New Yorker and probably would have blew them off. Kudoo's to "im" for a professional answer. Sometimes we just get wrapped up in our own worlds, We just have to see what it's like from the other side as a Dweeb

I just tell them the truth. It's not like the price is really any big secret. Why not tell them? It's no big deal to me.

In the alternative, just say "I don't know how much it cost...the guy I took it from was bleeding too much to tell me".
