What do you do with ppl who are full of it?

[cowboyz]

Guy was bragging at work yesterday that his 92 gsx1100 was put on a dyno and put out 408BHP on the rear wheel. He is saying the bike puts out so much horsepower that the rear tire does not stay on the hub and they are modifying it to run 2 chains.. putting 2 sprockets front and rear and 2 chains to give it more even power.??

huh?? 408 is a fairly large number wouldnt you think? If your going to lie a little you could go for 250 ish wouldn't ya?

[bugjuice]

GR got 499hp from his busa.. what's he on about? tell him to come back when he gets a real bike..

How can you run 2 sprockets anyway? Where would the clutch go? And having 2 sets wouldn't give it more power, it'd take off power, cos it'd be something else to move. And where would the rear brake go?

Just walk away, and tell him to give you a buzz when he does it. You'll never hear from him again

[Deviant Esq]

Guys who are full of it really piss me off at times. I had a mate who'd always be on about how cool his car would be once he saved up enough to buy it. Turbo, NOS, body kit, this, that, something else. Guess what - still hasn't got a car at all. Such a blowhard. :bs:

[Holy Roller]

Let them rave, show interest if one is interested, we all have our ways of gaining acceptance and self worth. This may be his way.

Yeah, but GR (not quite sure what GR is) but anyway, GR is not a truck driver in Palmerston North... It makes all the difference...

The 2 sprocket idea is surposed to be next to each other, rather than on either side of the rear wheel.. He even went so far to say "when its finished my bike will be in the GP class" I am not sure what that means ...

[nudemetalz]

What cracks me up are the learner riders that boast that they can get 260km/h out of their RGV-250's :whistle:

I just reply with..."wow, that's incredible, makes my ZX-10 look slow doesn't it...."

He sounds like he's the type of person that drives an old crapped out 80's nanna car and thinks he can chase and keep up with a race bike on the road. Theres a few of those ppl around with the same type of delusion.

[onearmedbandit]

Say to him 'huh, only 408hp? You'll want to get that sorted and find out where the other 200hp have gone. Fuck I'd be pissed at your engine builder mate.'

No seriously ask him what mod's he's done. Verify it yourself and then if you still believe he's full of shit tell him. No point beating around the bush if he is an idiot. Maybe beating around the head instead.

[Mental Trousers]

Even technically he's full of shit. Putting 2 chains on it doesn't mean it'll transfer the power (which I'm certain it doesn't have) to the rear wheel because chains stretch. And you can never tell where they'll stretch. So, for all intents and purposes it'll have 1 chain trying to transfer the power to the wheel while the other is slapping around cos it's stretched.

Conclusion: This guy is so full of shit he should be scared of enema's.

[FlyingDutchMan]

Just wind him up a little and say you have a 600hp bike. See how he ups his claim how his bike is better.

can't race anything like that on tracks, only drags

[limbimtimwim]

huh?? 408 is a fairly large number wouldnt you think? If your going to lie a little you could go for 250 ish wouldn't ya?Just ask to see his bike, he's lieing so hard he probably doesn't even have one.

Perhaps it makes 40.8 Newton Metres..

[thehollowmen]

Even technically he's full of shit. Putting 2 chains on it doesn't mean it'll transfer the power .....

The bike itself does exist. I have seen it but it was a month or so back and it only had 1 chain on it then. It is in the shop at the moment getting the second chain and sprockets on it. - he says.

I have invited him on a ride a few times but declined. Always got something better or different on at the time.

Don't make me go looking up a physics book to see what the hell a newton metre is too. Requires too much brain power for a sunday night.

Ghost rider. Yes.. I saw that a while back and had some discussion weather it is real or faked. I say there is too much traffic/open road/bad camera shots for it to be fake. If it was fake then you would think there would be nice, in frame shots of the ghost rider. My mate reckons it is just too unbelievable to be real.

The guy has certainly passed lane splitting 101 anyway. Some very very scary moments on that DVD

[chickenfunkstar]

I once met a guy at a pub who had a 185Hp ducati 916 which was gonna be the fastest drag bike in New Zealand once it had NoS and 300Hp. He wanted to race me for 'pink slips' along East coast road as well. After him talking shit for a while I said something like ' If you wanna actually talk about bikes thats fine, just cut the bullshit 'cos i'm not interested.'

Not too long after this he wobbled out of the car park on an MC17 CBR250, nearly loosing his balance a few times.

Dork.

[2much]

Hit him up about it... he obviously knows shit, otherwise he would've made it more believable. So you don't need to know everything, just spin shit to fill in the gaps your unsure of and he won't know any better.

Shoot his bullshiting arse out of the sky and make sure everyone's around to see when you do it.

Brilliant idea. I wish I had thought of that. I just went wow, that sounds like a pretty impressive machine, and then added that I was looking at the new ZX10 (my dream bike) in at AFC last week which has 184 horses pulling it along. I am not really the type of guy to tell someone outright they are full of shit, but I do take it as an insult on my intelligence.

[pritch]

I am not really the type of guy to tell someone outright they are full of shit,

Your man is an idiot. When I was young and impetuous I probably would have wound up in an argument.

These days I would hopefully remember the advice that goes something like,
"Never argue with an idiot, other people may not be able to tell the difference."

[SuperDave]

Should have told the guy to stop talking out his arse because with that kinda shit coming out of him I bet the whole room smelt bad.

[Darkman]

I am sure that the gsxr1100 motor is capable of doing 400bhp..that is with a lot of money and serious mods.

Ignore the individual until he really puts his/her foot in their mouth. Eventually someone else will point out the error of their ways. I just tend to sit back and watch all the fun. Should I have anything sensible to say, thats about when I do so. :msn-wink:

You mean you haven't ever seen one? Benelli 900 Sei had one and it was only rated at 80hp

I've had several interesting discussions about bikes of late, one guy I told about the dry weight of my new bike being 168kgs refused to believe me cos that would make it lighter than his ZX-10! Another peep I got talking to was proud to spurt out how many kilowatts his bike puts out, and when I didn't know the figure on mine (usually speak in Bhp terms) he smirked as though he was victorious or summat? :Pokey:

I love chatting about bikes in person, it's usually easy to spot who's talking rubbish, and people say the most hillarious things that they may think are true but are actually old urban myths!

[White trash]

I didnt tell him he was full of shit because it is not my style. (yes I do have some style)..

I am really a little shy in some circumstances and when people are just talking outright crap it annoys me because it is insulting. I have been around bikes forever and and always interested in all kinds of specs. I like talking about motors and gadgets with others who know what they are talking about. Like anything I don't know everything about everything, I just know what I know. I guesstimate my bike puts out about 70-80HP at peak from what I have read about it. I know the new 600s go over 100, some at closer to 120 or so. If he had told me his bike put out 220-240HP I would have believed him and got into a discussion about what he did to get it there. Starting with a figure of 408 is just plain rediculous and I have no interest in continuing the discussion.

As a side point, another guy I work with who rides a zxr250 which he wanted sold and I advertised it on here for him and got a reply and told him about it and every day he is keen to sell it but won't for some reason, I don't know, Anyway, this guy told me he rides the zxr250 because he had a ducati 918 and was racing down the himitangi striaghts at over 300k/hour and the battery lead fell off the battery and it sparked and siezied the motor and locked him up and he went for a slide down the road forever and then he lay in a ditch for an hour and no one came to help (this is a state highway for those who are unaware) so he got up and walked home and then he brought the ZXR250....

REALLY?? I am starting to wonder if I just look gulliable???? I am damn sure they are not taking the piss because the stories are not for me alone, they are shared around to keep everyone entertained.

I wonder if he could give me some advice on how to get more HP from my F100 engine, it 'only' makes 406Hp+- and it's 7014cc.

At his rate I SHOULD get 2,600HP from it AT LEAST!!:wacko:

[onearmedbandit]

It would be possible to get that sort of HP from a GSXR1100, with the right amount of $ chucked at it. So we can't poo-poo the claim outright. However from what the author of the thread wrote it seems as though this guy is 'full-o-shit' (TM).

[marty]

some great stories here. walking away from a 300km/h crash? on a ducati? and just whos dyno did he find this 408hp? more like 40.8kw

[Korea]

It's interesting how some individuals have a shameless propensity for spouting totally unlimited utterly unbelieveable piles of BS.

You hear the pies start coming and you say "Riiiiiight..." with unmistakable disbelief, except that you haven't outright said "What a pile of crapola", so instead they're encouraged to take the story to new heights of unbelievable stupidity.

Unless you're listening to me of course, in which case IT'S ALL TRUE! I WAS THERE!~ :baby:

[Korea]

Oh yeah... don't bother arguing because as the sayings go:

"Never argue with an idiot. They just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

"Never fight with a pig. You both get dirty but the pig likes it."

"Opinions are like A-holes. Everyone's got one, and nobody wants to know about yours..."

Starting tomorrow, (my day off today) I might start a True or False thing.

Now being a factual true or false would just be too easy. I would be thinking it would be alot harder if the question was Is it true or false that someone at foodstuffs PN said this was true?

[MOTOXXX]

find out what shop his bike is at and go have a look at it. talk to the mech and find out what hp etc it has. the guy is full of shit.

[Damon]

It must be GSX1100 owners, we have a guy at work thats got a 1990 and always talking about how hard he rides it, his suspension upgrades, it's 136 ponies and the awesome noise the yoshi makes at 6000rpm, i've seen the bike and it's in mint condition and does sound great and everything but everytime we ask him out for a ride he has to take his son to swimming or has to do the wife thing blah blah :zzzz: :tugger:

He wanted take the bikes to lunch one day at work and i suggested the old albany road up to silverdale and he said "that sounds like a nice quiet ride" and i gave him the "quiet?!?! not planing on it" and all of a sudden he had too much work on so i went alone, and had a hell of a time.

I do what i can to avoid the bike topic with him now.

I've got a mate that spouts shit all the time and last week he was telling me about how he got air on his GSXR750 going over the Takas a couple of weeks ago. I'm like what ever!!!

So anyway late last week I went for a ride over the Takas and coming up to the part that they've just sealed by the lakes lookout I see this car coming down the hill go over this massive bump. I'm thinking that this must be where he was talking about so I grabbed a bunch of throttle and hit it about 70ks...the front didn't come up and I don't think the rear did either although it did unload the suspension enough to break traction.

So I guess he could have been telling the truth, or maybe he's still bullshiting...I guess I'll never know.

...So I guess he could have been telling the truth, or maybe he's still bullshiting...I guess I'll never know.He was probably telling you a half-truth! :shifty:

So would that bump make a good jump or what? Safe landing distance, etc? If so, why didn't you "get air" too dude? :Punk:

[Slingshot]

He was probably telling you a half-truth! :shifty:

So would that bump make a good jump or what? Safe landing distance, etc? If so, why didn't you "get air" too dude? :Punk:

He claims that he was already going fast through that section and didn't notice the bump until he was pretty much on it.

Myself on the other hand was obeying the post limit of 50ks as the last time I was up there, none of it had been sealed. I just didn't see the bump early enough to get enough speed. Heading up the hill it'd be pretty safe, coming down is not so safe as it goes quickly into a left hander and the suspension just didn't (opps, I mean wouldn't) like turning in while the suspension was unloaded.
Some of the other Wgtn riders could probably comment on getting air...come on, you know where I mean.

still better than my ZX10. Mine has got "suzuki" plastered all over it and half the motor is missing. But if I close one eye and put my hand over the other I can tell it is really a zx10 in disguise...

So I guess he could have been telling the truth, or maybe he's still bullshiting...I guess I'll never know.I'm pretty sure I got both wheels off the ground on the Makara road once, I wasn't going fast, it was just circumstance of bouncing off one bump and onto another. Not cool. Your friend may not be full of shit.

Either that, or his GSXR sits in the garage too much and the suspension has seized...

[limbimtimwim]

Slightly different event. But some other people on this site were there and will remember. Those East-West Sprint races last year (Where I came very last.. It was great fun). The organsisers were saying "NO WHEELIES okay?! NO WHEELIES AT ALL" and all these people moaned and groaned and moaned some more. I didn't have a problem with this, my little 250 didn't pop (Sad ones, and I don't have the skill) monos unless I tortured it, and not been the sort to want to waste money on clutches, I didn't.

So anyway, at lunchtime, the organisers said "Okay! Since you were all so keen, it's wheelie time! So all of you come forward"

...

Silence...

"Come on.."

So three people went up (At least a dozen were complaining earlier).

One riders monos were quite sad, another, well, he was learning. At least they tried.

One guy, however, saved the day, he was really quite good at them. He didn't go silly fast, didn't wobble all over the show. He put on a good show.

So yeah, sometimes the ones making the most noise are talking the most crap.

doing wheelies, and doing wheelies in front of a crowd of bikers are two completely different things, the wheelie session at the taupo track day i was so nervous on the first few runs i thought i was gonna have to go and hide in the bushes after a completly shite wheelie! on the third attemt though i got the hang of it ,,,, though in saying that on the back road in the middle of nowhere i can do some really good ones ,,, hahahahha typical!

Cheers Winja, I do like it. Has got lotsa grunt.

[Fishy]

Hahaha thats hilarious!!. I saw him try and wheelstands his GSX-R 750T outside Red Baron and he somehow managed to lose his footing and his legs swung up and kicked both of his front indicators off!!!

[The_Dover]

in response to the original question

beat it out of them

[k14]

Man i could name a few (well more than a few) on this site, one's i've ridden with and they still turn around insisting how fast they are and how they slide the rear ans the front and wheelie this and that and.............. get my drift.
Yeah know what you're talking about, that cunt white trash, nothing but shit comes out of that mouth, hard to tell his mouth from his arse :rofl:

[cowboyz]

another guy at work today was trying to convince the girls his zxr250 had a top speed of 250k/hour. I choked on my coffee when he said it and he says.. whats wrong with you. I couldn't not say anything so I said it probably could with a long downhill and heavy tailwind. He was all.. No no of course it can. its had alot of work done to the motor and it is the fastest 250 he has ever ridden (can't argue that. its probably the only 250 hes ever ridden)

He went on to say that he is selling it anyway because it is not fast enough and is buying an 1988 Aprilla 600 for $2500 Dying to see that one...

[Fishy]

Hey cowboyz, that guy sounds like a few learners I have come across lately. Tell him to go for a ride with you infront of the girls at work and just throw in the comment "When the flag drops the bullshit stops eh mate" and see his reaction.

[clint640]

Yep there are plenty of bullshit artists out there. I usually try & steer the conversation to some aspect of their 300km/h 450bhp GN250 that I know a bit about (sometimes difficult :whistle: ) then casually ask a question on some finer technical point. eg: ' ...so was that the hydroisolator off the 1978 or '79 spagthorpe wheezehound you used to farnarkle the thingamy whotsit?... Oh right, so how did you get around the reverse polarity issue?...' Nothing makes a know-it-all squirm like having to admit they don't actually know something.

Mind you every now & then you come across someone you think is a bit full of it who turns out to be the genuine article. When I first met one of my good riding buddies I was a bit sceptical of his many stories of road & track antics, some of them were not very believeable. But after riding with him, watching him win a roadrace championship & meeting a few of his other mates who would reminisce about their crazy youth & confirm his far fetched stories: 'ah do you remember the time you were so far out of shape you got skidmarks on your helmet from the front tyre & managed to stay on the bike...' I realised the guy was on the level.

I have tried to get both this guy (zxr250) and the other guy (gsx1100) to come on a ride but they are always busy. There are a couple of other bikes at work but they are "commuter" bikes only adnd the owners tell me they are commuter bikes (one is a really nice, great condition 86 katana 400 and the other is a vt250) and they dont want to come on rides. But they don't bullshit all the time (or any of the time) either.

[Fishy]

Oh well, just have to let them live in their own little fantasy land. They are only kidding themselves at the end of the day. There are some sad sad people out there.

[cowboyz]

I was talking to a good mate of mine the Sunday just gone and I was saying that I used to think that I was quite open minded and took people opinions for what they are worth but I realise now, after working at Foodstuffs for a bit, that there are people who really would be better just shutting the fuck up.

[Fishy]

Just try and embarrass the knob head. Next time you're both in the smoko room and they are spouting off infront of everyone pour a glass of water and put infront of them and say "Here you go mate, have a nice cup of shut the fuck up". That might do it.

[750Y]

Hahaha thats hilarious!!. I saw him try and wheelstands his GSX-R 750T outside Red Baron and he somehow managed to lose his footing and his legs swung up and kicked both of his front indicators off!!!

lol, That is some funny shit. I thought he was the NZ 250 champ way back..
he seemed like an ok guy even if he did like to exaggerate a bit.
some of the stories were pretty amusing... like the armed home invasion of his helpless, sexy-nurse neighbours, which he thwarted in his underpants etc... oh I must stop thinking about it, i'm laughing too hard...

[gamgee]

haha just had a guy at work tell me "you should put a bigger exhaust on to increase your cc's"
i seeeeee he was a scooter rider so i just told him that it was horsepower it would increase... and it probably wouldn't even make a difference on a twin pipe 250 anyway

[cowboyz]

The easiest way to get more power out of your bike is to put a longer throttle cable on it. Then you can twist the throttle further therefore increasing your revs and in effect increasing your horsepower.


Everyone knows that.

[marty]

i had heard that mixing about 1 litre of diesel with 20 litres of petrol helps with the horsepower on bikes. especially bikes that already have allegedly high horsepower - they LOVE it.

Ah, that used to be a well known tune up trick that did back in the day. Fit a lighter throttle return spring , and poke a rod up the silencer to knock a hole in the baffles. "Five quid will do it mate, she goes like a rocket now."

[Fishy]

Here is a funny one...... A guy tried telling me yesterday that he used to own a 180HP NSR500 road bike with before he had his current bike (1996 Fireblade).

Did Honda ever make a road going NSR500? I don't think so! I know they made the NS400R but that was back in the mid 80's and why would you switch from a crazy ass 180HP NSR500 to a 130HP Fireblade???

Auckland to Hammy in one hour??

Yep, you can do it alright. Flat out on a reasonable bike with no cops,no radars, no dumb arse cagers and no thought of tomorrow. That was about 10 years ago of course. :rofl:

About 10 years ago I left Wellington City at 3.00pm on a Friday night in a 1800 Sunbird Nissan which was regulated to 195kmh. Up the West side of the lake and back to home at Ramarama at Drury, I did it in 5 hours and ten minutes before all the diversions and sweet roads were upgraded, I was going for it and my arms were stiff as boards the next day. It was an awesome ride but I doubt you could do the same now and get away with it.

Thank you. Didn't know the distance, but do know it CAN'T be done in 10 minutes. Unless my maths is REALLY out, I figure an average speed of 330kph is necessary. To all those nay-sayers....:moon: :calm:

[Goblin]

:nya: well ya can stick ya maths up your arse:whocares: Get your scrawny arse up here and I'll race you to Te Puke and prove it can be done!:devil2: :moon: :finger:

[MSTRS]

Not much point really. The reality is that if it is 55k, then.....
@55kph average it will take 1 hour....10 minutes is 1/6th of an hour so...necessary average speed = 55kph x6 to make 10 minute trip possible. Maths not being my strongest subject, if I'm wrong I will humbly admit it. But I don't think I'm wrong.

[bigbadwolf]

:nya: well ya can stick ya maths up your arse:whocares: Get your scrawny arse up here and I'll race you to Te Puke and prove it can be done!:devil2: :moon: :finger:

Well think about it. If you want to do 55kms in 10 minutes: 10 minutes is one sixth of an hour, so you have to multiply the distance travelled by 6 to get the average speed used to get there in that specific amount of time, and 55 x 6 = 330km/h.

Full credit to you if you can go that fast the whole way though :p

Im not trying to argue with maths or physics, the post I made that you brought up in this thread, happened in the late eighties and I was not riding. My friend was taking me for a hoon on his RZ500(or his RG500, he had both so I cant remember which one it was). As T.W.R. said it's 55 odd km from CENTRAL Rotorua to Te Puke town. Now we left from Rotokawa which is about 15km out of Rotorua CENTRAL! We stopped at a little place called Waitangi which is just out of Te Puke.(dont ask me how many km's 'cos I dont know) So the numbers do stack up. If you think I'm so full of shit come up here & I will put my money where my mouth is.:blip: (although I know I cant ride as fast as he could):doh:

BTW can you tell me why god made so many nasty people in this world?

it reads as 20mins travel (30mins minus a 10min stop) 55km is easily possible in that time, I've done more than that myself (68km in 25mins ChCh to Chertsey pub which was a one off anger vent! and ChCh to Akaroa in sub 45min & thats 84km which was a regular saturday morning blast years ago) if the machines capable & the riders capable, its an easy achievement.:niceone:

I keep inviting him on a ride but he wont. I tell you though.. If he did show up for a ride then there would be no speed limit and my poor little bike would be wound out. And then it would be like.. "we ride like that all the time, why can't you keep up?"

Yeah, 55k one way.. then you gotta get back again. that makes 110k in 20mins. that makes the 300+k average speed so you would probably want to be topping out about 350-360 to allow for the slowing for the tighter corners and turning round and the like.

don't think anyone was talkin about a return journey :Pokey: but you've shown it there in your figure though, oneway average speed 175-180kmh lols what difficult about that ?

[MSTRS]

Then obviously your claim of Rotovegas - Te Puke is flawed and was misleading to us mere mortals. I know people who claim to have done Napier - Taupo in 45 minutes. This is a distance of approx. 145kms. What they did do was the Napier-Taupo Rd turnoff to the lakefront. That is a distance of about 115kms tops. Big difference.

The speedo was 40%fast!!!

Wondered why it went past 180 so fast, but every bugger was tring to push me off the road at 100 for the first week!

Made the bike real easy to sell though, even if that model did have a bad rep.

It went clack in the rear when I was giving it a few blips on the throttle with no load (Yes, I know now I was silly).

Agree, it wasn't one of Hondas finer products, but taught me heaps... And after all, isn't that what learner bikes are all about?

Yes, it was about the same time they used butter for cam sprockets?
The R (in VFR) fixed all that in 1986/7 though.I think the main issue was lack of oil to the top end. Some folks in the US came up with a mod to use an external oil line. Honda put out a service bulletin with some bullshit story and tried to cover it up. Owners that moaned to them got replacement kit. I found an artical from a cheif USA Honda guy with all the gory details. I've posted the link elsewhere on KB.

ok ive got a corker of a story, i was riding some local trails around the rubbish tip when i come across an old guy and his boy scavenging round for scrap copper, this guy is so dirty, looks like he hasnt washed for years and his boy is riding a chinese pit bike around in circles, it was missing the back tyre and most of the bead of the rim, so i say g'day and he is interested in my bike so i answer all his questione before he starts with some stories, he tells me about his old kwakasqwakili zxyzzx 900, says a policeman wanted to buy it from him and wanted to see how it went, so he gets up to speed with the cop alongside in him and when the cop gives him the all clear he gives it the berries, he outran the cops, who later tell him they clocked him at 270kmh! then he says he was just changing into seventh gear and it was pulling the front wheel of the deck, (must have 408bhp i reckon) and this was all before he hit the "nitro pill" whatever the f$&k that is?? wel the cop buys his bike but apparantly never rides it and then he put it in some museum, he didnt say which one, anyway he kept me entertained for a good 20 mins until i made a getaway, i'd have to say this is by far the best story iv ever heard,

Many moons ago when I was just a lad, I used to drink with some guys who worked at Pak n save. There was this one guy (one of the trolley boys) would have been about 50 or so, was a little slow and gammy but was good company over a pint. Now one night said bloke asked for a ride home so being the good bastard I am I bundled his rusty old mountain bike into the boot of my cage. When he gave me his address I thought whoa nice address, must have a few flat mates or something. When we got to his house it was pretty flash. He invited me and another bloke who was with us in for a coffee.

He made us a brew and said do you want to see my car? Now I'd never seen him drive at all after knowing him for about 3 years so I said sure why not so he took us down to the garage and low and behold sitting in his garage was a BMW 635 CSI in extremely nice condition. He kinda looked a bit upset and told us he wasn't allowed to drive anymore after his accident and we went back upstairs. My other mate and I were gob smacked at this stage and said nothing. He took us for a bit of a tour of the house, we got to one room and he proudly said this was his study. We went inside and there were large books for africa, some very impressive solid wood office furniture and a couple of degrees on the wall with his name on them.

He sat at the desk and looked like he was about to cry. He told us he had been a lawyer. One degree on the wall proved his story. He then went on to tell us he had been out drinking at a bar on Plimmer steps in Welly and had tripped down the stairs and ended up brain damaged and permanently physically disabled, his wife couldn't take the strain and had bundled up the kids and left. All he had left was the house and his car....

As long as I live I will never look at this guy the same, ever.
