The People You Meet

Broken down at the side of the road, a chappie comes over with the usual, "are you ok". As it happened, we had decided what the problem was, so no further help was needed.

Chappies chats away, about the things he's done in the past (all bike related). He was a mechanic, he can get spares if we needed them, he even used to test bikes for MCN in the past. "So you knew Kevin Ash?" I asked. He went very quiet. "Umm. The name rings a bell - not sure" Yeah. Right.
Twat. :shock:

baza: chatters

Sometimes it doesn't help much to listen/ chat either. Went with the misses to a particularly nice coastal spot to see the Sun set with her.

Before I had the sidestand down, this bloke come bounding over, "Oh - Suzuki is it? One of the new ones? I've been thinking of gettin' one of em' ..." and so on for the next 15 minutes. (It had "Suzuki" written on the side and the numberplate/ condition showed the bike's age - my grannie could have matched his insight.)

He would not take a hint, and would not fuck off. Kept asking all sorts of damned-fool questions, making it patently obvious his only connection with bikes was on the back of his girlfriend's scooter 25 years ago.

This is all very well and good, but my misses was standing there for the whole time - and not part of this fascinating conversation. By the time he eventually hopped it, we'd missed the sunset we'd planned to see.

Is that your bike?

My all time favourite...

Me and the o/h at Matlock Bath on a Sunday (yes, I know)

We are just kitting back up, when a chap comes over, admiring the busa. He keeps us chatting for nearly an hour. We finish getting ready, then the chappie (noticing that there is only one seat on the busa), says, "but you're not getting on this one?" "yep" says the other half. "But where is she going to sit?", the o/h smiles and points at the 9... "On that one."

I thought he was going to have a heart attack.
Bless him :wink:

Edited for a missing full stop :lol:

Bike chatters

Forgot to mention - the ones I really like best are those who obviously have no intention of ever getting a bike, have no licence or clue how to ride, but make out they're really interested in getting one just like yours.

Had one once

lived across the road from me in Cornwall, told me he had a ZX600 but kept it at his grans house cos his mum didn't know he had it. Then it was nicked so he asks me to take him to Bridge Motorcycles in Exeter and can we go on my Blackbird --- NAH ! no blokes on the back so we went in the car. He went off with a salesman chatted a while then it was "let's go Rog" and he's looking sheepish, turns out he's trying to buy a bike on credit with no licence. I later found out he worked for a mate of mine who is a biker and he said "believe nothing that comes out of his mouth he never had a bike at his grans & he's never ridden a bike" the pillock was trying to buy a ZX600.
