I then asked him if I could walk or run on campus, to which he replied, "keyi". "So I can drive a bike, motorbike or car on campus, and I can run and walk on campus, but I can't ride this?" He just looked at me in befuddled amazement and drove away.
One time I stopped at a small motorcycle shop but was riding a bicycle to get there. The owner asked why I was interested in buying a motorcycle if I couldn't ride one. I said I had been riding motorcycles for many years. He looked highly confused.
