Not as strange as you might think.
Something different is interesting. People tend to want to interact with interesting things.
When I see a brand new bike all loaded up with touratech crap with a rider with super expensive, never broken in riding gear, I tend not to give it much attention. Your brain is programmed to ignore what you class as mundane.
Someone on a 'different' and interesting bike would have me saying hi and asking questions.
It's happened to me loads of times when travelling. If you stick out, people tend to open up to you and lots of great occasions usually follow..
