They also understand why dogs like having their heads out of a car window while it's moving. I should say "We"

If You live In Auckland New Zealand, you will see them again, you will learn their names & end up friends on Facebook, and probably exchange phone numbers on the next ride you happen to meet on

All I could do was laugh. I'm a new rider and I have experienced this. Not at a gas station, but at a recreation center not far from my house. I lack the experiences and knowledge, so I mostly listen. I have just under 5,000 miles under my belt. Never rode a motorcycle of any kind in my life. One day, I decided to sign up for an MSF/BRC. I bought my first bike 2 months later. It's like an entirely new world. Everything falls away and it's just you and the bike, living in that moment. One of the best decisions I've ever made.

Very typical of my 50 years of experience. Met people from all over the world at stops. One exception is the jackass on a Harley with stub pipes revving his engine over and over. Don’t forget his blaring stereo playing some gawdawful noise. He gets a scowl.

Yup... Now, pull up riding something that virtually nobody recognizes. I have a Honda NM4. That in itself is rare as hell. Add to that the fact that I've highly modified it as a very capable pocket touring machine. Yes, it has the marks of miles and there is that Iron Butt plate backer. The credentials are there, but its unlike anything on the road. So, there you have this Batman or Judge Dredd looking motorcycle outfitted with proper touring kit and then when you look closer, you get really confused.... There are floorboards, but no shifter and no brake pedal. It's a DCT, so shifting is automatic, or on the left hand. I HATED the brake pedal, so I deleted it and plumbed in a left hand brake lever off a Honda Silverwing scooter. Instant stuff to talk about no matter where I stop. <br><br>And with only a 3 gallon tank, I'm stopping a lot.

This made me smile and LMAO. For me, this is so true. Add the fact that I am a friendly Aussie - I go out of my way to talk to anyone on two wheels...

Aside from pleasantries, unless someone has a bike I am truly interested in, and I want to get their honest opinion of it, I generally don't engage. Too often I have to listen to somebody's war stories about all the times they crashed, which they somehow view as admirable (still being alive is the prize I guess).

sounds like similar talk at a veteran's bar.
