My current favorite is, "If I wasn't married..."

My girlfriend left me when I got a bike.  we were together 3 years.  We got back together a couple of days later.  That was an awesome couple of days.  She refuses to ride on it to this day.  I don't blame her.  Bikes are scary as hell, I wouldn't ride Buddha Loves You on.  not by choice

Only chics I ever get eye molesting my bike are hard core lesbians at work.  The kind that carry wallets and have chili bowl hair cuts.  A 250 pound chic working at a gas station tried to holla at me once too.  She asked if I could take her for a ride after she got off work.  I was pumping gas, she was sweeping up trash.  I told her my bike couldn't carry the weight of the both of us.  She laughed, I rode off into the sunset.

I took her up on the hill & forest roads above the city and went (in retrospect) too fast. She liked it. However it did not get me laid (yet).
But it was a lot more memorable than going to some coffee shop somewhere.

A motorcycle adds value to a certain extent and is a good prop for a certain type of badboy/fast image, certainly better than a bicycle or a bus pass,

+1 i just wonder if the'll know a little about bikes and realize just how "FAST" the GS goes. 

if you want to be sleazy and a jokester you can say this : when the chick ask for a ride you tell her "sure" so you ride her back to your place and say " alright were at my place , ready for that ride?"


I have never used that but I did have a girl make reference to having sex with me on a comment she left to one of my motorcycle pictures on myspace. she said somthing like.  " the bike ride rocked but riding you was better!" hahahha


yea I got a lot of questionns about that one from other chicks lol.

I won't put a girl on the back of my bike unless she's got full gear. Since none of my female friends ride, none of them have full gear. Hence, no rides. The only time I've ever put a friend on the back was when she was stranded with no ride because her roommate was too drunk to come get her. I made her wear my helmet/gloves/jacket, since they were all the gear I had. Most nerve racking ride of my life. I've been at several parties where hot (DRUNK) girls have asked me for a ride. If I won't put a sober girl on the back, I most definitely won't put a drunk girl on the back. It's not bad as an icebreaker, but as someone else said, if you need to use it to get laid, step up your game.

Well, I've never picked up chicks with my bike, but having my SVS on my desktop at work got me out of several fire-inspection violations....  (fire inspectors were male )

haha thats a good one.

Inspector #1: We've found a few issues during our inspection (spots prominantly displayed SVS on desktop...I'd minimized all windows  ) Hey.....nice bike! Whose is it??

Moi: Why, it's mine, of course! Who else's would it be? 

Inspectors 1 & 2: Dayim. It's YOURS?? We thought maybe it was your boyfriend's or something.

Moi: Pffft. Mine

Inspectors 1, 2, & 3: Looks fast *drool* *drool* Yeah...my wife won't let me have one of those. Is that a 1k??

Moi: Naw...it's just a 650...it's plenty fast for me! 

Inspector: Well, we're sure you'll tidy up the things we found, so we won't need to re-inspect. Take care out there!

Moi: Thanks, guys! I'll get those little problems taken care of right away (or in two years when you come to inspect again )

And you are proud of that?

were they like osha inspecters cause those guys have some real wack ideas about what needs to be standard. I had to deal with them at my airforce shop.

Yup, I am. I'm not too worried about a fire extinguisher that's 2 inches left of center or that the sign for the fire extinguisher is 1 inch lower than is standard. Obviously, the firemen weren't terribly worried about me burning the building down, or they'd have gone ahead and written me up. 

So...did ya' ever put the decals on your bike that I sent you?

Yes, and the town I work in is especially particular. We get inspected every few months for *something*....business license prominantly displayed enough? Fire extinguisher sign big enough/centered enough/ugly enough? Any nasty chemicals stored/stored improperly/stored at all? Etc, etc....but our roads are fantastic with all the fees that are apparently collected.

In fact, you can be written up for something that was fine last year....or not written up this year for something they collected fines on last year...

Yeah I did. 

Wouldn't it just be easier to move the fire extiguisher over 2 inches and raise the sign?  If you know what's wrong, why don't you just fix it?  Makes life easier for you and the inspectors.

well if you have ever worked with osha inspecters you would know that wouldnt solve anything. even if you do it by the book they will still find somthing to give you crap about. and sometimes the locations  arent practical for the company to relocate even if it is 2" plus its a principle , and if the inspectors like you or you butter them up they really dont care about the 2" .

that is so true we had osha coem to our shop last week and boy was my boss kissing some a$$ i mean he was all up in that guy but the guy overlooked the fact we didnt fix anything from the last visit we didnt bolt our drill press to the floor, we still have wires hanging from the roof frames and our shower eash and eye was thing is still sittign in its box. but we did get written up for our parking lot having oil spills and not being neat but thats before my boss got to him

So post pics, darnit! 

As for moving the fire extinguishers two inches, that wouldn't really help much at all, because next year I'd have to move them back!  As previously stated, it's not the fact that the extinguishers are here or there; it's a matter of what the inspector feels like writing up on a given day...sad, but too true.  The extinguishers and all other "problem areas" have passed in the past, and they'll likely pass in the future. If my motorcycle helps me save a bit of inspector aggravation, then w00t! So, yup, I'm damned proud of having "beat the system" for another year, but I'll be sure to let you know if the place burns down and if it's because I didn't move the fire extinguishers 2 inches, and then you can tell me that you told me so.
