    Took my 98 s3 out last Sunday for a few hours. I stopped to get gas. A guy pulls up to the pump on the otherside of me on a metric cruiser. He says hi nice day for a ride. I replied yep it's been cold lately. He looks right at me and asks me what year HONDA is that. I told him it's a 98 Buell. He replied, Who makes that? Dumbfounded I answered BUELL! This isn't the first time this has happened to me. My tank still reads Buell.

    I don't respond to those people. When pumping gas I keep my helmet on and my smoked visor down.

    In the altered words of Mickey Avalon, "I just want to ride (Drink) and be left alone".

    i like it when people say oh thats such a small cute bike. then i tell them it has a 1200 in it and they are just amazed. my mom was glad i bought such a small bike...lol. my stepdad laughed because my 1200 puts out as much as his big 1340 harley and my bike weighs half as much.

    Some bible thumpers came to my door today and walked past my bike and asked if it was a Ducati. I guess the BUELL on both sides of the airbox are written in spanish.

    I had some electricians in the shop at work ask me, "So, does that have any 'GO' to it, or is it just loud?"

    I happened to be leaving right as he was the next day. I think he re-defined his definition of "GO" and "just loud" he had his window down when I screamed by him at about 6500rpm.
