Default Fun at stop lights

Saturday I was returning home from a conference in Orlando and decided to stop at Daytona HD (sorry don't remember the official name) and JP Cycles.

Well I am sitting at a stop light and a guy pulls up next to me on a little scooter and says 'Wanna Race?' with a big grin on his face.

After I stopped laughing I said, only if you give me a head start.
The guy was of course joking, but I still thought it was funny.

What is some of the funniest/craziest thing anyone has said to you while waiting for a light to change.

Glad to hear that some people still know how to have a little fun now and then.

One night,around midnight,I'm sitting at a light on my Dyna,ciggarette hanging out of my mouth.A kid about 18 yrs old comes flying around the corner in his brand new right out of the showroom,Vette.Daddy obviously got it for him for his H.S. graduation.Sitting at the light he's reving it like he wants to blow the motor,him and his girl friend hollerin and fist pumping like I'm really gonna run him on this pig.Oh,I wish I was on my old Z1.So the light changes and I actually do blow him off out of the hole,about a block later he finds his way out of first and passes me,of course,but at the next light theres 3 cars already sitting there.So I take the lane between the parked cars and the line of cars with him at the back revving the engine like he's taking a victory lap,as I pass by him I naturally give him and his girl the finger and go to the front of the line of cars at the light with him screaming out the window "but I beat you".For the next 3 or 5 miles he's trying like hell to get by cars,to no avail,with me at the front at every light waiting to hear this kids engine explode.I just laughed my *** off in my head.This was a month ago,I wonder if this jerk has blown that car up or wrapped it around a pole yet,just hope he hasnt hurt anybody else.

I pulled up next to a Amish guy in a horse and buggy. I asked if that thing had a Hemi in it. He just stared at me like the ******* I was being. I thought it was funny though....lol

Just last week I was waiting at a stop sign and these two kids were standing at the corner to my right. They were probably in their early 20's. they were being joksters and asked me if I could give them a ride on my bike. One on the back the other on my handlebars. So I said "Sorry, you don't have ******* and you're nowhere cute enough". And I rolled on. lol

I was behind a little scooter once and noticed his brake lights weren't working. So I caught up to him at the next , and he was a latino type person. It was obvious within a few second that he didn't speak a lick of English, cause every time I tried to explain that his lights didn't work, he just shook his head like crazy. No matter what I tried, to get him to understand, he just said, "no, no, no"! Poor guy looked like he was scared to death!

At least you didn't ask him how much HP it had. Although asking how my torque would have been more appropriate.

I actually have a lot of respect for the Amish. I haven't found them to have much of a sense of humor though. Which, in a way, would make our jokes a bit disrespectful since they can't appreciate it. Sorry guys! lol
