Got this idea off of another forum and wondering what grinds everyone's gears?!

My personal favourite has to be every time I go out on my bike, my dad stands on the drive and just as I pull off says "Don't crash" every time.

I don't need to be told not to crash!

What are yours?

"One of your headlights are blown!!!"

Stupid Parents!!

My Mom: "Why would anyone want to ride one of those stupid things?"

 

[spooph]

+1 on the headlight out and "don't crash" comments....

I also don't like it when somebody asks what kind of bike I ride when they don't even know the difference between a cruiser and a sportbike...

edit: Oh, and one of my favorites when riding in my leathers is: "Isn't it hot in those things?"

REALLY? Why don't you stick your hand inside them and feel for yourself! NO, they're air conditioned OKAY? You really think I'd be stupid enough to ride 100+F weather in full racing leathers?! Sheesh, you must think I'm really stupid or something.... Some people just don't get it...

Something I hear a lot. "Why don't you get one of those little scooters"

....really?

 

[metbandit1]

Considering he's a non biker

I can still dream. In the meantime when I do bring up the subject someone always has something stupid to say.

"Why would you wear a helmet, it's not a law"

Even though it is the law in this country, there's no way I wouldn't wear one!

My neighbor's punk jock son who thinks he's God's gift to the biking world, but can't tell the difference between a 500cc engine and a 125cc engine. See my reply on the Turtle thread for details on that one...

I liked the middle-age woman I encountered at our local GameStop one day. She was walking up with her teenage daughter; the daughter had said something I couldn't quite hear, and the mother looked RIGHT at me and replied, "REAL women don't ride motorcycles.". She smirked at me and I said, "Oh you're just jealous because there isn't a bike out there that can hold your fat a** up, so don't be hatin' a REAL woman for doing what she enjoys.". And I left her standing there catching flies. Those were not my exact words, it was some time ago - but close to it. Oh how I would've loved to smack the smirk right off of her face...

"aren't you afraid of crashing?"

"pop a wheelie"

"what happens when a bug hits you" to which I reply, "it usually dies"
