Street Talk 20

Downtown, outside a Northwestern building. A group of young college kids approaches.

College Dude: (nerdy, cocky, looking at my motorcycle helmet) Hey. Hey. What kind you got?
Me: I'm sorry?
College Dude: What kind you got?
Me: Honda VTX.
College Dude: What?
Me: Honda VTX.
College Dude: (scornfully) Oh. That's nothing.
Me: (mystified, slightly irritated, dismissively) All right man.

The college kids move on, one turns back.

College Dude#2: I got a 1984 Ninja GPZ900R.
Me: Cool.
College Dude #2: And I just got a Susuki GSX 600. What kind you got again?
Me: Honda VTX. (points) That one.
College Dude #2: Very cool. Don't mind Dave. He doesn't even have a bike.
Me: Have a good night man.
