Okay, so I have this little bandaid on my arm, and you can see a little pinprick speck of blood through it. So about six times today, I've had a conversation like this:
them: What happened?
me: Motorcycle.
them: OMFGBBQWTFCNN you crashed?!?!?!
me: No, a wrench slipped. Why would you assume I crashed?
them: Oh, I don't know. It's a motorcycle.
People are funny. I hope if I go down someday I get off that easy.
first question I get from relatives any time I visit:
- So... have you crashed yet?
(me) why?
- well, you ride a motorcycle...

I see lots of posts here about people treating bikers this way. Here in PA bikes are EVERYWHERE! Ever seince I was a kid there has been a higher number of bikes here than anywhere I have ever been.
The only comments I get from anyone.. even strangers is "nice bike... glad to see you are wearing a helmet *wave" :icon_mrgreen:
People here really seem to respect bikers.
I'm not gonna say i'm glad i've wrecked, cus thats not the case at all... but, it does give me a comeback in those situations...
Them- Don't you know motorcycles are dangerous?
Me- Heck yes I do!!, i've slid 115 feet on pavement because of a careless driver that failed to stop at a stop sign. You can bet your hide that I always ride in protective gear, too!
Them- Oh, ok
edit, thats my 1000th post O0

Same basic thing here but my response is
Me- YEah, there's not as much metal to protect me from idiots like you.
Of course I'm an arsehole.
