Interesting encounters on your GS...?

I found an interesting thread on one of my other hangouts...

It got me wondering if anyone had similar interesting encounters while riding a GS...?

If you have an interesting (short) story to tell about people's reactions to your GS, do tell us all.

e.g. From the above thread:

"I was parked in front of the coffee stand in Cave Junction, Oregon with my '06 R12GS.
An ol' boy in a pick-up rolls into the parking space next to me and climbs out.
As he walks slowly by the GS he says, "If they were giving away Harleys ... I'd pay for one of these."

It wasn't on my GS, but it was on a BMW:

We were en route to the Buffalo Rally in 2004. We had stopped for a rest and refreshment in a small town in the Eastern Cape. I was sitting on the bike, my legs stretched out on the pots drinking a sparkling water.

From across the street, an attractive red-headed woman in her thirties wandered over and asked me where we came from, where we were going, etc.,
When I'd told her, she replied: "That sounds absolutely heavenly! Won't you kidnap me me and take me along with you...?"
I sat up and shifted forward in the seat, but she said there wasn't enough space...

I wonder what would have transpired if I didn't have my sleeping bag strapped over the pillion seat...

A similar event to Richard's happened in Oudsthoorn in March (Richard was also present).

Two elderly gentlemen approached us as we were getting off the bikes. They were looking at this and that and making idle chatter. At one point, one of them said the following: "In the Bible it says that one should not covet thy neighbours ass - but the Bible was written before they invented these bikes!"

(From that other forum:)

A Harley guy walks up to a BMW rider at a gas station and says:
"How come all you BMW guys always dress like astronauts?"

The BMW guy promptly replies:
"I don't know, why do you Harley guys always dress like someone from the Village People?"

Good one Richard. Maybe a good topic will be biker jokes??!! I like Rejuvenated"s avatar Took a while to be able to read it but it is good

Maybe becuse Beemers habitually travel faster than 100km/h. Hardleydriveables rarely exceed 80 - cant go faster.
