so that's how you did your shoulder!

There's always people that'll ask that, like if you see someone with a shithot car or crusin around skifields on a ski-doo you'd probably ask them questions.

its annoyinh when people come up on shit bikes and say and talk as if they know everything about bikes.

[monkeymagic]

meh we all getthem, especialy downhillers and trials riders, hehehehehe, its allways the same line "was it cheaper without the seat?"

its funny though, you laugh then look away and they stare at the bike the rest of the train ride

[Avanti_Racing]

nope not just you, i got asked that yesterday or day before i think, he said, oh sweet thats a nice bike, simple answer...yep then you talk about the bearings in your pedals and how big they are and that it needs replacing and they usually just walk off, it annoys me though

[chrus]

Day after got my new Coiler lil shits come to the local dj's on queersports and other gay rigid bikes going "awwww hes got a Coiler" I just smile. And say "Yes its mine." hahaha

A lady stopped today when me and some mates were eating some chips, and she goes, "gee, those are some nice bikes, what do you do on them?"
Showed her the video camera with clips from the previous ride, "Wow! What does your mum say about that?"
She looks at my mates bike with the snapped down tube, then my Ryde, and then my mates Big Ht DH and says, well what makes that bike so special?

Blah blah blah...

She saw the words Giant on my mates bike with the snapped down tube, and goes, "gee that's a Giant, they aren't suppose to do that? My son just got one."

In the end we just started eating our chips and she eventually walked away saying, "I am going to tell my son about these!"




But I spose, she isn't a MTBer, she wouldn't know the difference between an M1 or a Huffy..

[monkeymagic]

sorry (thread stealing)

jays waht bike did your friend snap? what model?

[igothp]

yep all the time :roll: but i golooking for attention, ie in manly i do this little drop 4-"5ft( :twisted: 8) :twisted: ) and the lil kids go "wow your sssssoooooooooooo good"
and i just look back and say "yeah, i know"
as for the money factor i just say "i have 2 jobs so i can, u dont so u cant" :wink:

[ruthlessgirl]

i get that every single day when i'm working at the store... people always ask what i ride first then i point to my DH bike and most people laugh at me and ask what i really ride. What pisses me off most is when guys refuse to believe me! WTF! many people just tell me I'm crazy. If they ask me why i do it, I tell them it's for the money and glory... then i laugh my head off, and they realize it's fun. Then we go look at bikes they wanna buy. When you tell them you're bike would cost you $10,000 to replace, everything else seems like a deal! :D
