Picture the scene, there I am at work in my lunch break cleaning the bike when one of my workmates asked me possibly the dumbest question ever about my bike, “does it have air conditioning to keep your legs cool during the summer?” . I nearly p***ed myself cos’ I was laughing so hard!
This might seem a bit harsh, but the guy in question is a mechanic, you would think he would know better!!
This got me thinking, what is the dumbest question you’ve ever been asked about your bike?
I think “whats the top speed like” is pretty stupid. Because i have a speedo and MX is about going down long straights
Also “does it do wheelies” and “has it got/how many powerbands has it”
is it better to get through traffic ?.
19 year old (ish) policeman once stopped me on a sigle cylinder 125cc bike and asked
“wheres your other cylinder???”
traffice cop pulled me on my GSXR 600 K2 and asked me if it was a bandit???
a traffice cop i tell ya.
i always get the is it fast???
or when you walk into work with your helmet and people say “are you on ya bike today?” ha ha no i always were my lid in the car
Slightly off topic, but I always laugh when I tell someone I am going on holiday and they say “Oh! Somewhere nice?”
No somewhere horrible. Egits
“Is it dangerous?”
Get it EVERY time.
Dunno if its me just sick of being asked it or it is actually a stupid question.
It is, but the car drivers moan about their mirrors missing, dont notice a thing with handguards
Lee, whats the fastest you can wheelie? That must get annoying now youve been spending ages going slow
At work, half an hour after closing, shutters down, lights off:
ARE YOU CLOSED???
I always want to say: No , u stupid dumba$$, we love to squeeze the things through the shutters and the lights are off coz we’re hiding from idiots like you.
Have to say I’ve wanted to say that too people as well. 
The powerband broke on my 660 - it’s not funny I can tell you!
When I arrive at a destination, with helmet in hand, leathers, gloves and boots, people ask
“you came by motorbike?”
I reply no, and explain how unsafe public transport is and my gear is for my safety on the bus…
It must be cold on your bike in this weather !
YES IT F*CKIN IS !
do you know how fast you were going? 
Not so much question but time 2.30am Friday night Frith st
A bod phones me " I have been lookin at your bike on Frith St and how much would it cost to have my frame polished" I then told him that the frame would cost this much and this call has cost him £75 quid when he asked why I said it was £10 per hour and since I had been finished work for 7 and 1/2 hours it was £75.00 to top it all he then walked over and asked me again as he was stood in Frith. 
spechial
Has to be when I lost my footing & dropped my bike on Diesel in a garage - I wrestled my leg from underneath and was scratching my head as you do, this guy walks round the corner and I ask him if he could give me a hand lifting it… He said “why did you lay it down, were you adjusting the chain or something?”
My Favourite this morning
“Didn’t you get cold riding in ?”
My fingers have only just thawed sufficiently to type.
Once upon the time my wife got home a saturday night after a girls out dinner and got me in the lounge seating it the floor with a half empty bottle of Jack Daniels having a chat with Nero, my black cat, by this time I was understanding everything he was telling me! I saware!! I even changed the flavour of his cat food from chicken to tuna as he told that he was feed up with it 
Anyway, she walked in the room saw that all and asked! Heva you been drinking?? Are you drunk?? 
I only remember answering that ‘‘No! I eat it with bread and butter!!’’ The following bits I don’t remember but she didn’t speak to me for at least 3 days… 
the ever helpful ‘you’ve got a headlight out mate’
there’s the ‘aren’t you a too big for your sportsbike?’ yes, quite right, i drag my legs along the floor but they make handy stablisers
or with ducatis there’s always the ‘I think somethings broken?’
they’re probably not wrong tho…
