Also, "Using the front brake will make you flip the bike right over so you should only use the rear one"..

Any good ones you've heard?

Oh but it can

[Kornholio]

Ya coont, you beat me too it... That was all I had too

[Cheshire Cat]

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".

what a tard How bout we drag that idiot down the road for 100m in their jeans.

[McFatty1000]

Yeah, its the 'only use the rear' part which makes me cringe though.

at about ten seconds in, this is how I imagine all the people who think that the rear brake is the only brake look like when they stop.
Also, the rest are quite good too, watch the whole thing and shake your head

I've heard enough BS on kiwibiker alone to fill a thread, one of the more memorable:

Someone on KB was once spouting about how the front wheel doesn't have torque/angular momentum cause it's not driven.

Someone one told me that TL1000's have different sized pistons, one is for low speed around town, and then it fires up the other one when it goes faster (I'm not sure if this person had a mechanical understanding of an IC engine)

Car related: Someone once tried telling me (and a bunch of folk on facebook) that car tyres work better when they stayed cold.

One guy here at uni told my mate that you don't need suspension sag on a car

Believe me as a long term owner of a TL ive heard worse,gave me a chuckle though.A few weeks ago i was having a beer at a pub in Naseby,bloke pulls up on a GSXR1000 (latest model) and we get talking,he gets to telling me he traded in a late model GSXR750 for the 1000 so i say "you must do plenty of track days" he replies "no,never".

Fella i worked with used to have a bike, he was telling someone that his quick reactions save him from a crash with a car that cut him off, he quickly hit the kill switch and that slowed the bike enough to avoid the car...

This guy is a genius - if it had been an impact, he could have rightly have told his insurance company that his vehicle wasn't even running so how could he be at fault...

[Phantom Limb]

A mate of mine comes out with some gems, he rides a new GSXR600, bought it because it "looked fast", also, on a ride he's slower through the bends than an old lady in a Hyundai Accent, heres a few:

-"I'm starting to think that I want a bigger bike, mine feels slow to me now"
-"I haven't revved it past 10 on the dial, it's a bit scary"
-"Finally got rid of my chicken strips" (rear tyre still has vent runners on all but the centre 4cm stripe)
-"The wind is too strong for the bike"
-"I'm getting my 'fast' thrills out of the way on this bike, then I'll get a propper one"

And, wait for it:

-"My next bike will be a FatBoy!" looks at me smiling expecting a smile + knowing nod, recieves naught but a blank stare.

Theres another favourite of mine, from some mates who drive stripped out cars in the NZ Targa, road sprints and track time battles:
-"Motorcycles are far too dangerous"

Yes, that is from guys who think nothing of throwing a car down a shitty rural back road at twice the speed limit.

I have nothing to say

I have a mate who does this "4 wheels are better than two rah de rah"
Meh, I'll do double the speed limit on a country road quite happily

BTW, Targa cars all have cages, this means you can crash in to anything at any speed

[gijoe1313]

"100% of motorcycle riders will die or have an accident"

Wow. I had a mind to say in reply "So you going to live forever huh?" and "you never had an accident in your life, ahmmaazzzing!"

[sootie]

"you wont get me riding a bike with a fairing, cut ya fuck head off in an accident"

"" The only reasons chics love Harleys, is the bikes prepare them for a better organism than the rider can""

What would that be?? Oh, did you mean ....
