Stupid overheard motorbike related comments & sayings?

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

The little car that could

The smartest thing about a 6ltr with that kind of tech would be the traction control.

These changes to the ACC scheme will result in a fairer, more balanced system, that is affordable to all.


Yeah, that sure worked.

At least Nuck smuth got his comeuppance (thank you Bronwyn Pullar)

"Exceeding 104kmh in a 100kmh zone is likely to cause instant death".

C'mon, it has to be something you really overheard...

[scumdog]

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).

They have heard of a Ninja??

[darkwolf]

They have heard of a Ninja??

They might have heard of them but I doubt they've ever heard one see what I did there?

One I've heard commonly is "You don't need all that gear, skin's free and it grows back" and "denim is good for 100m of sliding".

Too fucking right... everybody has a brother who has had a Ninja... The younger they are, the more likely Ninja is to be substituted with Busa. Love the Ninja one though.... means nothing except it's a Kwaka from the last 40 years... but it was always the fastest one

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

Reminds me of a time working on the Post Office counter in Oamaru about 1980something when this policeman in full uniform including helmet walks up to the counter and announces. "Good morning. I'm a Policeman". I was SOOOO tempted to respond "Your secret is safe with me" but I restrained myself. Arthur Mahan I think was the guy's name. Turned out to be a pretty decent bloke in the end.

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

but that isnt the point. the saying (at least my interpretation) is that the only way to get power is to increase capacity. there are plenty of other ways to increase power without increasing engine size

[onearmedbandit]

Oh I don't countersteer at all.

Shafties won't wheelie.

When upon hearing I ride, 'temporary Kiwi huh?', I respond with 'yet to meet a permanent one, myself'.

My CBR/ZXR/FZR/GSXR250 hits an easy 230km/h

My GSXR/R1/CBR/ZX10 does 200mph out of the crate.

I know a guy who lost his left arm in a riding accident.

Wondering if perhaps you meant to write "Orgasm" instead of "Organism"?

I understand if you don't know the difference for women. A lot of guys don't. loooooool
