The blank look

Post by **snapdragon** » 19 years ago

When the new boss spies you with helmet in hand and says "oh you ride a motorcycle?" "yes" "what do you ride ?" "Cagiva Raptor" DUH?!

!!<BLANK LOOK>!

! end of conversation?

Even the ones that ride have to go away and look it up - then come back and ask "which one? 650 or 125?"

anyone else had this?

Anyways as I'm in the bar I'd best get the drinks in

specially as we have a few new members who I haven't bought a virtual drink for and some not new members who probly want one - come on guyses it's nearly weekend

I know what you mean snap, you just get a funny look or as i got a comment like 'is that one of them cheap makes'. It usually impresses when you tell them it a 1000 or even more impressed when they see it.

Make mine a vodka and coke, i think i need a few seen as how my babys still off the road.

Not only is it nearly the weekend it's sunny

Mine's a corona please, but only later on, I've got some twisty roads to go and enjoy

Most people look at the raptor, see my grin and it's sort of infectious, cos they end up grinning and just loving my bike too

The magic of raptors I reckon.

I wonder if he was one of the 2 Snappy and I lost down this end of the country, riding on the twisties?... they came up behind, overtaking on the double whites through the blind bends

, once we got out of the 30 limit we never saw them again!

I chose to buy a Raptor 1000 because I wanted something other than a HonSuzKawaYam etc, something a bit different, and boy I got it. I love it

And yes, most reactions are "What?" when you tell people what you have, even some die hard bikers. But hey, thats part of the fun

Make mine a chocolate milk shake please.
