You can also tell the idiots by the gear they wear. Normally theyre wearing less than enough gear and know everything. i swear some people just have to lie about what they ride and what they know... especially I guess they're out gunned..Great thread.
As for me, I don't mind when someone asks a genuine, curious question about my bike. I don't mind answering, even a conversation if I'm in that kinda mood. Little kids are great too - on the road, I always give them aeace: when they look over, and I can see their excitement.. kids remember that stuff forever- I still remember "interactions" with bikers and truckers back when I was single digit ages. When stopped and a kid walks by with their parent, staring, if they stop to look, I'll offer the kid a sit.. sometimes the parents take a pic of them. I don't mind that stuff one bit.
Now the dumb$h!ts who approach (you can ALWAYS identify them by the dumb facial expression) who say "Yea I've got a Kawahondayamazukati1100gsxr1R10ZX at home, but (fill in bike alibi here)" are a different story. I will call them out every time. IF I even entertain the convo to begin with. No, you're not expected to know everything about bikes, but you ARE expected to not act like you do.

I saw a dude with the jankiest vest on riding a r1. Like seriously.. you're not even going to put on some proper boots? He had seriously some converse on.. It's not even that expensive to get some riding boots anywhere, I got mine here but revzilla has a better selection http://www.motorcyclehouse.com/mens-motorcycle-boots.htm ...seriously is like 80 bucks that'll save your ass.
