SOCIAL INTERACTION TEST FOR NEW RIDERS

The following tongue in cheek test is for possible situations that are loosely based on stories, observations, and my experiences. Two of these scenarios are from my younger days of riding. If anyone cares, I will post which ones happened to me.


Do you have any situations to add? When in doubt chose C.

1. You are parking your bike at the mall when a kid riding a scooter with a State University sticker pulls into your space. This wimpy whiskerless nerd then tries to strike up a biker conversation.
A. You give the kid a cold shoulder and go about your business.
B. You laugh until it hurts.
C. You treat him kindly because you may be/are working for a nerd.

2. You are riding behind a buddy when a couple on a Harley approach and wave. To your horror, your bud responds with a blend of the ”hi mom” and “beauty queen on a float” wave.
A. You turn your head and pretend not to see.
B. You shake your head and clench your teeth.
C. You find a new riding bud or ride alone.

3. You are riding on the freeway when 20 Harley riders with colors ride up from behind and pass you. Each one gives you the one finger salute as they pass you.
A. You do nothing.
B. You do nothing.
C. See A and B.

4. You are at a red light on a 4 lane city street. There is a couple on a goldwing in the left lane. You pull alongside in the right lane and blip the throttle so they notice you. They slowly turn their heads and sneer at you.
A. You show them who is boss when the light changes by jumping ahead and pulling into their lane.
B. You look sheepish and turn your head.
C. You are devastated by the double sneer, turn right and slink away.

5. You are at your new girlfriend’s place. She is ready for her first motorcycle ride with you. Your bike does not have a sissy bar. She slides off the back when you start. She is not hurt but refuses to get back on the bike while her sister laughs at her.
A. You apologize.
B. You tell her she should hang on tighter.
C. You take the sister for a ride.
