Just thought I would share... I know this was mentioned on the "you know yer a Buell owner" thread but this cracked me up!
I went on a ride with a friend the other day. He has an 08 zx10, which by the way didn't get too far away on the straights.. surprised the hell outa me.
So we stop at a park to take a break and as we are gearing up a couple guys come up, walk past his bright green plastic machine and start asking me about my bike. After a couple minutes my friend takes off his helmet and sits on the curb patiently waiting. 15 mins later we take off.
Our next stop is at a store to buy water. Again as we gear up a guy comes over and plays 20 questions with me. And again my friend waits patiently.
Our next stop is at a lake where as soon as we stop I have a group of guys circle my bike and start asking questions. I look over to see my friend shaking his head.
Before we leave the lake I have several different people eye f*cking my bike while not even giving his a second look. We had parked next to a triumph and the owner, of course, starts asking about my bike.
By this point I am laughing about it and my friend asks if it is always like that when I stop... I replied, no.. it only happens when I stop somewhere where there are people around. He then pointed out I spent about an hour total talking about my bike.
Ha... I like talking about my bike, riding my bike and working on my bike. Which brings me to the second thing that made me smile.
My speedo sensor went out.. AGAIN. My local stealership actually said they would warranty the part for me?!?! I just assumed id be coughing up another $80. Now I can afford a new rotor. Yay!
Kind of a long read probably... but it made me smile again just writing it.
