Stupid overheard motorbike related comments & sayings?

"I can keep up with sport bikes on my 883"

The veracity of that comment would entirely depend on who was making the statement.

It is easily done when only a small proportion of sports bikes actually have competent riders on them. To be fair the same goes for any type of bike.

In fact, the only difference between the majority of sport bike riders and the majority of non-sport bike riders is the type of wank which spins their wheels. Their choice of bike style speaks nothing of their ability.

Myself, I ride what could be called a cross over bike, so I can wank with whomever I like.

I was really hoping for more Harley lovers to jump up and down
My GN can keep up with any Harley.

Listen, I'm sick of towing you everywhere - get a motor fitted to the GN soon or I'll leave you behind next time.

Are you two trying to get him killed???? From a lumbering Boulevard (no offence mate) to a Busa or a ZX14?

At least it will be quick enough to get him out of trouble.

As noted by a member of the public fuelling up his Mazda Bongo at the Shell station last week:

"Shit, is that a 1300cc?? When you pulled in I thought it looked like a 600 at the most!"

I wonder when this guy spots a 250cc he expects to see the rider pedalling and indicating by hand
That said he was about 200Kg of lump, so any motorcycle probably looks like a suppository to him.

[tigertim20]

after someone has just had a test ride on an R1 followed by a quick 600 for the first time

Me Howd you find that?
Them yeah, not as scary as people reckon, I think Id be fine if I bought one
Me really? you dont see the difference between that and your 250?
Them Nah, I got them both up to about 6500rpm, I was ginning it and I was just like, Meh.

From someone I let have a ride on my Busa - "they go pretty quick when you get to 6000rpm don't they"

Found a few more:

"Motorcycles can go faster doing a wheelie because there's less friction because only one tire is on the ground!!!!"

Trying to explain lane splitting: "But if I'm stuck in traffic, you should be too."

Whats with the whole thing of different names for cars and different riders by the way? Cages, squids etc etc?

It's nautical slang, squids get caught by cages, generally.

Ah yes, it was so obvious.... Man, fell into that one

It is an American type thing or motorbike rider in general type slang?

Cage- Because you have a metal cage around you, ultimately excluding you from the freedom biking offers
Squid - Stupidly Quick, Under-dressed, Ignorant and Dangerous. Or Imminently Dead. Also 'Squirrely kid'.

"Lamborghinis are just as fun as bikes"

Having been passenger in a Lambo some years ago.. I would almost have to agree with that, the are'nt called the 'raging bull' for nothing, Brutal power delivery and the handling is downright fucking scary... They are an unrefined throwback to cars like the AC Cobra 427. <<(not a copy Cobra)
