What to the fucking what?

Gawd, we’ve all heard stupid things and there are surely thousands of comments where you wonder what the hell some people are smoking.

Exhibit A: Rode to a mates last night on the other side of town. The first time she’s been out since her daughter was born 7 months ago. We ended up taking her car to the local pub, I’m on my RE so must have zero BAC … good times for the boozers that go out drinking with me as sober driver.

A friend of hers asked where I lived and I said other side of town and that I rode my bike from Southside. Well he assumed it was a bicycle – and I said no – a motorbike. Like what the actual?????? I am quite clearly in no shape to cycle to the local mall let alone across town mate!

Exhibit B: Where I sat my RE the instructor said oh don’t worry no one is going to challenge your manhood if you don’t race at the lights. I hope it’s a little more obvious than that I’m a woman 🤷🏻‍♀️

Exhibit C: When a senior manager asked if I found a tornado on the way to work due to my hair being somewhat wild and unkempt . While I was carrying my motorcycle helmet. How? Who? What? Then when I said I rode my bike in asks if I mean on the back? How. Are. You. Richer. Than. Me.

Exhibit D: Brushing that same wild and unkempt hair at my desk and being asked by a bit of a drongo why I don’t brush it at home before I put my helmet on. Please put down the sharp instruments before you poke your own eye out.

Exhibit E: People that don’t know anything about motorcycle makes and models asking what type of bike I have as if it’s a test to ensure I really do even though they won’t be able to tell I’m lying anyways. I used to just tell them and they would say is that a Kawasaki / Suzuki / Honda. I’ve amended my response to ‘do you know anything about bikes?’ lol. If their answer starts with their mate has a Harley … consider yourself dead to me and out of the conversation with the standard response of a Japanese sports bike haha that narrows it down 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

I dunno all sound logic goes out the window. I have to tell people again and again I don’t mind going out and not drinking so I can ride the bike to and from the venue. 1,000,000% no drama for me, I would rather ride than drink.

And it starts “you could drink and stay over”. Yeah I could. Choose not to. Even if I did toddle off home in the morning there is no guarantee I would be zero BAC by then! So I abstain. Happily too. I would never ever risk my licence for even a sip. I need my licence and I understand it’s a privilege to been have one for a car AND a motorcycle.
