"Motorcyclists Own the Options. Our money. Our priorities"

[slofox]

The usual...

"My brother in law had a motorbike. He's dead now!"

My reply...

"My brother in law never had a motorbike. He's dead now too!"

[Usarka]

Bike? I'll give you bike!

[awa355]

If I'd been riding that bike, I would have made it.

If I told you my time for that trip, Ya wouldn't believe me.

[george formby]

Wow! Look at that Harley, it must be really fast!

Not wanting to offend any one but I have heard this more than once regardless of model....

"Where's the kick start?"

[Akzle]

well. since no-one's said it

"motorbikes are dangerous"

"Engine power output is always directly proportional to engine size".

ahh, the old theres no replacement for displacement argument. (the replacement of course, is technology. . .)

haha, brilliant!.

"Engine power output is always directly proportional to engine size".

there's no substiture for cubic inches!

you're not going to get 1000 horsepower out of a 49cc motor.. (at the moment anyway hah)

it does work the other way though.. some how the Americans can manage to get a 7 litre v8 producing sub 300 horsepower (with relative ease)

[Fast Eddie]

ahh, the old theres no replacement for displacement argument. (the replacement of course, is technology. . .)

meh, use the same technology on both a 2 litre and a 6 litre unit and you will (hopefully) get more power out of the 6 litre unit..

there is no replacement for displacement technology helps make better use of engines/energy/power output and can help new small motors beat old ill designed big motors. but use same tech on both and you should be back to the old ways of bigger is better haha

One that almost had me laughing out loud happened a year or so ago.
My workplace was host to a classic motorbike auction run by Webb's. Among the lineup was Ginger Molloy's 1968 Bultaco TSS GP bike.

So anyway, two mouth-breathing teenagers wearing flat-brim caps started looking at it while I was sitting at my counter doing a PO. One of them has a peek behind the fairing at the tacho and announces "Bro, this bike is slow as shit. The speedo only goes up to 11, that's like 110 k's an hour. Told you it was gay."

I got hit this morning by a bloody car driver. It was his fault coz he didn't see me indicating my turn across his path.

Scene 1, Act 1
Popo says "Why did you turn across in front of the bike?"
Punter says "I didn't see him"

Scene 1, Act 2
Punter says "He was going really fast"
Popo says "How do you know that if you didn't see him"

As stupid as this interchange sounds, it happens a lot at crash scenes.

Exactly, just look at the fastest wheeled vehicles in the world.

"I ride better when I'm half-pissed"

I've actually seen this pan out to be correct for one person on a ride... A glass or two of wine improved his riding... (and no, I wouldn't have believed it until I seen it... )

Usual one for me is wearing motorcycle gear, and asked, do you ride a motorbike?

Lol. I always tell them no, I just like wearing the gear.

The mildly smarter ones who see you in gear ask what type of bike you ride, then give you a blank look when you respond unless it is a Harley or a ninja (I swear to the layman, no other bikes exist).
