so i've had mine for bout a month now, get tons of the how do ya get on that thing, why'd ya do that, and lots of inane questions.. random ones like how's the weather up there? etc.. a few old timers mentioned penny farthings etc.. just wondering what's the dumbest thing or weirdest thing anyone has said to you while riding high?

Some of my favorites...
"GO BACK TO THE 70s!"
"Hey, nice haircut!" (smartass kid)
"Reach up and touch the sun, tell me how that feels"
"Get a job, work a double shift"
Schoolboy: "OH..... MY..... WORD!"
But my favorite comment ever came from a guy and his young son when I was riding a chopper. "WOW, what's that!?!?!?" exclaimed the kid. With a misty look in his eyes, the dad put his hand on the kid's shoulder and said, "Son, that's a chopper."

not many comments, plenty of clenched fists and YEAH!!! with a blast of the horn, most cant stop grinning.
Plenty of near accidents from head jerking car drivers. (Not me, them) Bloody hilarious watching them nearly hit the curb.
