Default Hey, Is that your bike?

How many times either at the gas station, grocery store, resturant, some business place, you get this wide eyed look from someone that says:

Hey, Is that your bike? Wow, thats sharp. or Wow, thats nice. Or even better yet, if she is female, Wow, nice ride, and trys to butter you up for a ride.

Here is one of my short storys on this:
I was at the gas station, just filled up. Wife went in to use the restroom. I am standing back and talking to friend who was also filling up his ride. When two pretty good looking girls walked up and said, "Nice looking Harley". Being nice back, and accepting the compliment, thanks. One girl said, man wish my boyfriend would get a bike. And the other young women said, yeah wish mine would too. Before you knew it, they both were asking for a ride on the bike. Unknown to them, MY WIFE HAD COME BACK, and was listening to them try to flirt, and flaunt, their way on the bike for a ride.

About then, my wife had winked at me, and approached the two women, and said, "Girls, there is only one Biatch that rides on the back of this bike, and thats ME!!!" "If you want to ride on the back of a nice ride like this, I would suggest two things. First buy a ride that you want your boyfriend to ride you around on. Or, secondly, get rid of the boyfriends you have now, and get yourself a real man that can afford one." All I could do was smile, start the ride up, and we were off....

I have one more short story, that I just couldnt help myself in the statement that I said to this guy.

I was at the bus station awaiting for the wife to get back into town. I knew she had a small bag for carry on luggage, and figured I would pick her up on the bike and take her somewhere nice for dinner. While awaiting for the bus to show up. There was this older man and his wife awaiting for their bus to show up. He had come over to me and introduced himself and stated the same statement I hear a lot. NICE BIKE!! I said thanks.

Then came the next statement, "Man, I wish I could get one." Being the smartarse that I can be, I asked, "what is stopping you?" Well you know, I have to get permission from the wife, Harold said.

The only thing that popped into my mind was PERMISSION. DOH!!!!

Then the next few smartarse things came out of my mouth. "Harold, How old are you?" His answer was 58 yrs of age. And I said, " Your 58 yrs of age, more than likely your kids are grown, out of the house, and more than likely your house is pretty much paid for? Yes, was his answer.

I said, "Harold, Why dont you grow a set of real baaaallllssss" "Tell your wife, your going to get the bike youalways wanted, and ifshe doesnt like it, OH WELL!!!!! What is she going to do LEAVE YEAH???? About then, you heard a HAROLD, come on time to get on the bus. You could tell you wore the pants in that relationship......

Those are my tid bit storys, thought you might get a kick out of them, so I shared them with yah.

Thats five minutes of your time you wont get back.

Yeah, I get compliments from guys that would love to own one but that should just let you know how lucky you really are. Not everyone can afford a nice bike.

As far as the PW'd guy, just remember you gotta keep momma happy.

Getting the Harley was to keep my lady happy. She wanted one just as bad as I did.

My personal favorite is "Is that your Harley?"
"Nope, its a loaner from the car dealership" - Seems to confuse them for a moment.

I generally just say "thanks" when offered a compliment and reserve the smartass comments for friends.

When presented with a similar situation with some young hot things trying to seduce a ride out of me, my wife just walked right by them, winked at them, hopped on the back, and off we went. Quiet confidence is hawt! =)

Guess everyone gets their kicks differently. To each his own.

Dude, how can you and your wife be smart mouthing people about affording a Harley and then having your wife ride the bus? Riding the bus is about as ghetto as you can get.

I'll come to the defense of mass transit.

My wife works downtown, we live in the northern burbs. The cost of the montly DART pass (that includes fair for either express bus or light rail) is far more cost effective than the gas + parking it would cost her. Not to mention, it only takes her 30 minutes to get home when taking the light rail vs nearly an hour when cagin' it.

Now let's add in all the savings on maintenance, wear, and tear on her vehicle if she were putting those miles on her car. On top of that let's add in her level of frustration when she got home after driving with all these nutbags in Dallas.

Sorry friends....mass transit rocks. If I worked downtown I'd be doin it too.

I'm saying... I think it's funny when someone tells a story where they're the Hero, and they are making fun of someone elses misfortune, andin the end, the story teller doesn'trealize they made themself look like a Dick.
