I've had one homeless dude give me a thumbs up as I was parking, and a bro at the beach last weekend yelled "Nice bike!"

Homeless people begging at intersections love complimenting my Buell Blast while I'm waiting at the light. "Nice bike, can you wheelie it?" "No, I don't really want to do wheelies, and I don't really know how." "Aww... but could it?" "I dunno, it's not really a great bike. Maybe?" "Hahahehehahhawwwwyyeeah." "Hey nice bike, is it fast?" "Not really, no. I mean, I don't really go fast on it, I dunno." "Eh, it looks fast."

I mean, yeah, I'm frustrated that I can't ride today because my battery tender couldn't overpower the 12 degree temps and the bike wouldn't start but 4 kids and graphic designer?

Finally someone commented on my bike! ...and my glowing light-up helmet. Super cool dude, though. He told me his son got out of the Marines and, after having an R6 prior to deploying, now wants an R1. The guy and I shook our heads. Second, on the way home in the dark and rain, a dude on a CBR hooned up beside us, past us, braked beside us again, then busted rear end to pass us on 26 where the highway goes down to one lane. Sucker, that's our exit. He still got stuck behind a bunch of slow-rear end trucks.

 the cops are currently on their SPEEDING KILLS PEOPLE WE ARE PROTECTING SOCIETY BY VENGEFULLY ISSUING TICKETS!!! horse. There are billboards everywhere.Their official stance is that they are literally reducing road deaths (couple hundred a year in a nation of 4.5 million) by reducing their 'speed tolerance' from +~10km/h to zero tolerance. You will literally get a ticket for doing 102 in a 100km/h zone. This magically makes people not crash and deaths are less likely because *physics*. So when traffic is absolutely at it's worst, during the holiday season, cops do an Iraq-style surge in traffic enforcement officers and fish for tickets by sitting in ambush hidden by trees or whatever. I have not ridden my bike since the 24th and don't intend to until a week into the new year. Cars and cops everywhere isn't a good time.

I rode a Ninja 300 too and used to think it was plenty fast enough for anybody. But then I rode other bikes. You should do the same at some point. It ain't crazy to enjoy 0-100kph in under 3 seconds.

Nah, just that his kid wants a super crotch rocket after having ridden a bike for less than a month or so. His dad figured he was going to get his dumb rear end killed. The bike is rad.

NSW drivers are dithering pussies who can't navigate traffic without making GBS threads their pants in terror of breaking a law. There are two kinds of people who think small bikes are fast enough: people who have never ridden a large, powerful bike, and people who have ridden such bikes and found themselves wanting.

Yeah, it's my plan, once my finances get back under control (yay unemployment!) to upgrade. It'll probably end up being a Striple or something similar. But for now, my 300 is just fine.

I never feel safer on the road than when I get close to passing a cop-waiting-in-ambush and half the people on the road utterly lose their poo poo. Nothing but panic brakes and panic merging as far as the eye can see. Or when they pull someone over in the middle of the highway. Where there's no shoulder or grass to park on. Right there, in the middle of the god drat lane.

Bleh, the finger nail of my right hand's middle finger got ripped off from the base yesterday when my wife did a shove instead of a push on a 230 pound crate when I was lifting one end off of the steps in front of our door. The splint and the bandage is way too big to fit my hand into my riding gloves; cant ride for a few days. The new years eve traffic is gonna suck now that I'm stuck in a car. Bleh bleh bleh.

Was out at the bars grabbing a drink and walking around people watching with my friend. Went to walk by our bikes to check on them and what do I see...... A drunk girl climbing on my bike while her friend and their boyfriends watch and take pictures.  My friend and I come up yelling no at her before she even got half way over. She runs away and her boyfriend is telling me to watch my temper.. WHAT? Your drunk girlfriend is climbing on my motorcycle so you can take a loving picture and my temper is misplaced? gently caress OFF. Never been so mad. What kind of people think this is ok? I know for a fact they would've turned tail and ran if they dumped it.

A lot of people think this is perfectly fine. A couple of months ago I caught a 55-ish woman in the process of putting what I assume was her grandson up on my bike as I was walking back to it. She smiled - all sweetness and light - and asked emptily, "Oh, is it alright if he sits on it?" I said, "Sure. But give me your keys, I want to go sit in your car for a while." Well! You don't have to be so rude! If the stupid hag had seen me getting on the bike and asked permission like a normal human, I would have let the little man gently caress around to his heart's content.

gently caress people. This is one of the upsides to having a terrible and/or utterly boring looking bike. Puts off the fuckheads.
