Going home from work and I get to an intersection w/ a red light, there's a bike on the right-hand side of the lane already stopped. It was a Kawi standard.
I nodded, he nodded back. I told him that I liked his bike and he just nodded again. He had the face shield down and I figured he just didn't hear me.
Light was pretty long so I made a second attempt and said, "Traffic looks pretty bad, are you going on I-95?"
He thought about it for two or three seconds and then replied, "No it's a 2000".
Total language barrier issue there. Never experienced it. It was pretty comical. I wanted to laugh but I just refrained myself out of courtesy. :lao
Has this ever happened to anyone else?
