Ah, you always need a counterquip. I'd have been ready with "And motor cars" while giving their bike a good stare.
I stopped in at the lifeboat station in South Queensferry to pick up a load of Christmas cards. The place is a bit of a tourist magnet and you get loads of bikers gathered on the front at weekends.I was on my way back from the stables and my breeches and boots got a few stares... "I ride something much hairier" was my quip. They choked on their sandwiches and we wound up having a good conversation and better understanding each other's concerns. I was proud of that quip!
