Yup, get this crap from co-workers a lot, even during the winter when it's just ridiculous.
"Did you ride your Harley today? It's supposed to rain."
My reply- "Say, how's about you drive next to me on the way home and hold my umbrella for me?"

Do any of you guys have people that you work with who just love to ask you if you rode your bike on days when the weather is sh*tty? I even work in a place that has at least three other Harley riders, but it never seems to fail that I get asked if I rode if the weather is horrible. Sometimes like three or four times by different people.
I can take a joke and all, but it gets really old .We were out of work the last three days because of ice here and sure enough this guy shot off about it. I sniped back that he was really witty and hoped he caught on that Im getting tired of it.

So when the weather gets bad they rag ya.
If you drove a car, would you drive to work and say. I drove my big bad car to work, I'm a cager G?

I get the same thing from some of my co-workers that don't ride, when its 35 degrees and raining they will ask even though they know i have a 50 mile commute to the city. We have about 10-15 riders where i work (a pretty decent mixture of Metric and Harleys). I don't mind it from the ones that ride as much, especially when they didn't ride themselves

Many years ago I rode pretty much year-round unless there was ice on the ground. One day I walked into work with snow flurries on my jacket. A guy asked "Wow, do you ride year-round." I said "No, just in the winter."

I used to get asked that a lot, but not anymore since they see that I will ride pretty much every day. Even when it get down into the "OH My" 20's some mornings (MS Coast). I have a couple of friends that don't care ride to work, but I never rag them about it. Different people, different preferences. I just really enjoy taking the bike especially since I have the room to carry a lot of stuff to work. And I get up front parking

OMG YES! Yesterday Indianapolis got 13 inches of snow and I get to work and I head "Did you ride your bike today". Why do they think that is funny? WHY???????
