I've got one of the turquoise and antique white Road King Classics....

Several times I have walked out of a store/restaurant/cigar bar and seen someone either looking at or taking pics of my bike.

Luckily nobody's wanted to sit on it yet.

Outside of some ***** sitting on my bike or fiddling with it I don't care if people want to ask or comment on them. If I have the time and feel like it I'll humor them.
I have two fairly unusual bikes now, a KTM 950 Adventure and a Ducati Monster so they both tend to draw a crowd from riders and non riders alike. Imagine that the Fat Bob I just put a deposit on will do the same.

How much was your bail that day?

I've had it happen a couple of times but there was the strangest of all.. I was in a local bar with about 100+ bikes out front.. I walk out to leave and some dude comes running up to me with his a girlie.. Starts telling her "This is the bike I was showing you pics of"... I'm thinking WTF?.. Then he goes on to tell me he's got a Rocker too and saw mine at a local rally a couple months back and took pics of it apparently to show his woman what he wanted to do.. Then he whips out his phone and proceeds to show me pics of my bike on his phone as well.. It was all a little weird to have a "bike stalker".. LOL

I've had two other riders want to snap pictures of the Wild 1 bars on my bike. For some reason, they tend to draw interest from people.
