I didn't view it as homophobic (although I guess I can see that angle now), and being a motorcyclist, I did find it funny.

I took it along the lines of a joke I like very much in presence of a macho man that shows me his bike (or anything else):DaveC426913 said:
Biker: "Do you like my new bike?"
Me: "Very much. Do they make it for men too?"
The expression of the biker's face is always memorable! (I have the chance of being very big and tall, thus I never need to run away.)
