Woke up early this morning to gas the cage (get more gas for your money when it's cooler) and a guy with a 05 Gixxer 750 rolls up to gas too.
So i strike a conversation with my fellow rider and he asked what i ride and i proudly answered "Well one of my bikes is a 03 R1". This guy looked like
and said "you ride a Yamaha....why you ride a Yamaha... nobody rides yamaha's...they're not that great".
So i immedaity got on the defensive and said" well mine and the newer models look better and perform better than your cyclops". Next he said " what you mean by cyclops" then i pointed to his headlight:riding . Now he was pissed and said " your 'YAMAHA' couldn't keep up with me". i'm like "dude you're on a 750 don't bit off more than you can chew" so i gave him my number and told him call me tonite at 10 so i can :fire ya.
Now for the funny part. As we both bout to leave some Squid rolls up on a FZ 1, revving as he pulling up to the pump and stalls the bike short of the pump and than can't start the damn thing again the guy on the gixxer looks at me and shakes his head and then wheelies off.
This is not the first time i told someone i ride a R1 or when i'm riding, they look at me funny and ask why yamaha. It like no one likes yamaha around here or even owns one what fook is up?
