I decided to ride my Trail 125 to the beer store yesterday.. A guy pointed at it and said "I think you need a bigger bike." (I'm 6'5", 260lbs)

I replied, "The big bikes scare me.".

A guy once said, "you look a little big for that 125".. I replied, "you should see me on your mom!"
I also have a Grom in the garage, so i've heard that one too! haha
 
I have the only PAS in a 100mile radius here in south central ky and I can relate to most all of these comments 😅 😂 then I smoke their ass when they pull up behind me or beside me and the next time I see em at the local fuel station or watering hole I get a nod or a wave from most of em 🤣😎
 
2022 at the Harley dealership in Fairbanks, AK. I had just come down off 4 very muddy, very rainy and snowy days on The Dalton Hwy to Deadhorse. I was hanging in the parking lot waiting my turn for a new rear tire. Three of the local boys rolled up on their Harleys, big HOGG patches on the back of their vests, got the whole “look”.

They walked up to my bike, and the big 300 lb guy snorts and says, “That ain’t no fu@kin’ Harley, I don’t care what it says in the tank!”. I quickly replied “Then don’t buy one. You’re too fu@king fat to ride one anyway.” His face showed shock at not being used to being talked to like that. His two buddies busted out laughing, thought it was hilarious. Fat-ass poser didn’t say a word, walked off in a huff. His buddies stayed and visited awhile. Nice guys.
I’m telling you we’ve crossed paths a few times. Im up around that way a couple times a year. If you ever wonder back up to AK or Yukon shoot me a message.

New favorite..

While sipping craft beer at a posh brewery on the nice side of town, a fellow in skinny jeans and polished cowboy boots said: "Is that a FatBob off-road conversion??"

Me: :oops: YES.. Yes it is.

Skinny jeans: "Did you do the work yourself?"

Me: "No, some shop in York PA did it" :sneaky:

Sure it did. The place is called "Taps off main", the guys name is Steven. He's a barber. He rides a Triumph Bonneville. I ended up calling his Bonneville a "1978 Honda CB350". He admitted that it actually was and it was hand restored by some Japanese guys from the battery plant down the road. He thinks the M8 fat bob could have been a better looking bike without the "bar shaped" headlight and his joke was pointing out the headlight similarity on the PA. It was a good time. Beers and bikes and laughs.

No need to make anything up. Just sharing a funny story.
 
Recently I was heading home one afternoon/early evening, and stopped at a Chinese restaurant for some take-out. When I walked out to my bike and loaded my food into my Shad Top Case, I noticed a foreign-looking gentleman sitting in his car near me, gazing out his driver side window at my bike. I smiled and nodded to him as I was getting on to ride away, and just before I fired her up, he asked me "if I drove for Uber Eats or Grub Hub". 😁

The food was delicious though.

"It's how I afford the payments!.. I Uber on it to, if you you want to roll deep?".
