Talking shyte

[Wingnut]

I understand that everyone from time to time tends to stretch the truth a little when telling yarns. I see no harm in this. But why do some people constantely over do it with bike storys?

Anyway - I was wondering what is the biggest pile of shit bike story that has been spun to you?

There must be some beauties out there. Lets hear them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kiwifruit]

"my stock standard 1000cc motorcycle can do a genuine 300kph"

[Katman]

"140 round the 55's".

[Rockbuddy]

spuzukis are great bikes

[Headbanger]

I hear a few fellow HD riders make claims of blasting past Jap bikes, Even on twisties.

ya tell em there bikes are slow compared to a Japper and they howl in protest.

I gave an old mate of mine a ride on a 750 nipper I had, he didn't bring it back for six hours, claimed it was like being strapped to the back of a jet plane.

He rode his HD home, decided nevr to touch another jap bike, seems my $2000 jap cracker made his $34000 worked HD feel like a heavy slug....

Idiot told me one night that he had a vf1000f that did 290 k's no probs at all. Did'nt tell him i'd owned the f and r versions and that neither came close to 290 k's .Just an example but have heard heaps like it and worse over the years.

"A GSXR250 puts out 70HP"
"My RS250 puts out 70HP at the wheel"
"Singles are only made because they are cheap, no other reason"
"My RGV250 does 280"
"You can have any bike and i guarantee i will still beat ya on my ZXR250"
"Litre bikes don't out drag my GSX1400"
"You can't get 300HP out of a 86' GSXR1100"

and my personal favourite

"You can't make your GN run right on av gas"

[megageoff76]

Ha! That exactly who sprung to mind when i saw this thread.

[Ixion]

"It just needs the carby cleaned"
"It'll fly through a warrant"
"Rego's dead and I haven't any papers, but it's only $150 for a VIN"
"Good runner, just needs a new battery to start it. As is where is"
"Small amount of non structural rust, just needs a bit of bog"

[Sparky Bills]

You been talkin' to Kerry Dukie again Martin?

[Sparky Bills]

Im one of the hottest people on KB...

Heard that a few times from a few different people.

[avgas]

"You can't make your GN run right on av gas"

you can - but thats beside the point.
Any single thumper works nicely on some nice high octane.

Some goodies i have heard however:
"My K*whatever* kills anything on those twisties."
"Yeah the R1 is fantastic, i keep it in EXUP all the time"
"So i said to the cop.........."
"Get a real bike!" - usually coming from a car driver or someone that should be in a car reading womens day.
