unusual questions?

[mikeoldcars]

i wondered if anyone has any odd questions the've been asked,
ive just had this little gem from a lad when i was dropping my son off at his mums on my old superdream

"is it geared or automatic?" bless him, he told me he had just bought a scooter for £1300 that had packed up on him today, i told him mine was £300 and offered a few pointers of where i would start looking for the problem.

after all todays 16 year old scooter rider is tomorrows biker

my mate once got asked if his tzr 50 was electric by my 13 year old step brother (probably because it sounded like a hairdryer lol)

There is always someone (usually an old feller in a cloth cap) who walks up to my mate Niall when he is riding his heavily tuned and customised BSA, asks him what it is then tells him they had one exactly like it in 1958.

I am often asked if/when I am going to buy a Harley by people walking past when I am working on the bikes. Which is a pretty stupid question in my book, especially taken in the context of looking at the state of the bike I am repairing.

Apart from the "You ride that?" question accompanied by a look of disbelief (common for female bikers to get this question/statement, normally from older men), the funniest thing I ever got asked was from my dad (mechanically inept, bless him), asking whether I'd topped up the coolant....in my air-cooled bike!

not so much a silly question as a stupid comment from my ex of all people.

When I went to show her my new zx6 she commented that it was the same bike as my gpx.
Confused I asked how she could not see the difference.

She remarked that they were the same colour. Yep ok had to give her that one.
The she went on to say they both had a screen, followed by handle bars, fuel tank and the seat.

Can't argue with logic I guess.
