Your right about the old boys..that happened to me last weekend😉He was checking out my bike and when I walked over to jump back on my bike, we had a chat about when he use to ride❤
I love those moments. My most recent one was Wednesday just gone. I had a 30 mins chat with a 78 year old bloke about bikes and life in general. Such a pure moment 🤘🏻
It’s never women. Lmao Depends on what bike you got tbh. Classic? Gonna get old folks reminiscing about the old days. Sports bike? Some teenage squids gloating about having no “chicken strips” Cruiser? Probably some dentist who loves Harley asking why it’s not one (if it ain’t, if it is expect a long convo about how much he loves it) Adventure? Absolutely no one approaches you. You’re the embodiment of “what is that? I’ll just judge it from afar” My personal favorite though is the Dual sport/super moto crowd. They are chill af when hanging, and absolutely insane when riding. On a side note. I’ve learned people are disgusted and appalled that we choose fun over safety. I’ve realized some people think preserving a life should come before that life’s want to enjoy itself. It’s frustrating, so just ignore the negativity from people who don’t understand, keep on keeping on. Just keep the rubber side down.
I had to get my first bike in secret, throw it on a trailer and then book a riding class ended up rebuilding the top end of the engine and taking most of the bike apart and refurbishing it to functionally new, looks like a 50k miles bike but the brakes, tyres, suspension, compression, carburettor and electrical system is perfect
What about women riders, admittedly the one I came across was as rare as rocking horse poo. The other day a female rider, and a very fit looking one, in black leathers, (with fitted jacket for the chest) pulled alongside me at the traffic lights. She was on a bmw s1000 naked. i was on my ninja 1000sx, i casually looked her way, When she turned her head, I thought I was looking at Rebecca Ferguson when she was in the impossible movie on the s1000. it looked like her eyes we part of a smile, Then she tore off and made me look like a kid on a bike. LOL I'm just glad it happened, I just wish it was more often.
Never women. Always old dudes who want to prattle on forever about some weird bike they had in the 70s that was better for some reason while you are sweating in riding gear trying to be nice, but you know if you take off your helmet, you'll be stuck with them for an hour. That's it for me. Oh, when I had a moped, I got a lot of attention compared to my normal motorcycle. Mostly people asked if you needed a licence, and if it ran on gas, even while I was at the gas station.
Sometimes you can get stuck in a convo with an elderly bloke that won't stop. I just take the time to remember that he might be lonely and most likely hasn't had a good chat with someone in a while. For that reason I make sure to give them some of my time. It's the least I could do 🤘🏻

I've had a fair amount of interest from women to be fair my dude😂 I agree with you in all of what you've put there dude. Very well said 🤘🏻
this used to be part of my daily commute to hythe coincedently on a bike, occasionally you will get little gems of all green lights and empty roads
No better feeling than green light after green light 🤘🏻

Fair play dude 🤘🏻
Ahhh! The classic Yamaha Suzuki lol
😂😂
👍
Not so sure about how cheap it is or how fuel efficient either.
me i wish i could own a bike but i am too poor to afford one or a bus ticket.
Hey you're the first guy he mentioned!
If you do end up buying, the Yamaha Suzuki is a dangerous choice as a first time rider
