I gotta post some of these up... I don't even know why I go there, some of the stuff is just plain RETARDED... but sometimes highly ammusing


"I heard that if you want to roadrace a bike and you lower it go with a 160 back tire instead of the 180 thats on there and it will help with the handling."

(regarding the Aprilia RS 250) - "Yeah, that thing's a street legal MotoGP bike!"

(and my most recent favorite) - "Doesn't Repsol make a 250?"

Simple ... it is cause he is looking for his daily dose of BEET abuse! :

It is much better to be abused than ignored ...

Negative attention is still attention.

At least it lets people know you're out there.

Actually, this is one of my favorites from a "Mothballs in the Gas Tank" thread on SBN:

"Sugar works better."

omg... here's another doozie regarding chicken strips:

"Racers who run in the top 5 of AMA nationals have a half inch of unused tire."

but it's true, theres a quarter inch of rubber and carcass between the outside of the tire and the air on the inside, x 2 sides = a half inch unused tire

damn you, you fuckin outta-the-box thinker

not from sportbikes.net, this one came from the SVriders forum in a thread about clutchless shifting

driving around normally, i recommend using the clutch for all shifts, but when you are accelerating fast using the clutch is DANGEROUS. think about it...you are holding on with your left hand when the bike is accelerating quickly, you LET GO of your grip to reach for the clutch, maybe if your palm is glued on you wont fly off. the sv isnt as fast as a litre bike but show me a moron who goes all out on an R1 and uses his clutch...ill visit him in the hospital and laugh in his face...then apologize and ask how much he wants for his wrecked bike

By that theory, are we also to believe that he doesn't use his front brake?

Rolling burn-out of course!

I'm pretty sure you know what I meant, ya grummpy old bastid...

[OreoGitorio]

ok, i'm not gonna quote this one since he explained it (badly) over a couple of different posts... but i'll paraphrase it for ya...

This sportbikes.net member basically said "I turn my idle up to about 3000 rpm's so when I'm cruising on the highway my RPM's will be closer to the powerband so I dont have to downshift."

I asked him wtf he meant by that & he said somethin like "if my idle is at 3000rpm's, my rpm's on the highway will be at 6 or 7000 instead of 4 or 5000."

Tell him he should replace his current powerband with a green one, solves the problem.

Actually, if he is that confused, he needs rubberbands.

Here's another SB.Net genius.....

"I decided to wipe the chain before the sprocket, in order to clean off the inner part of the chain too, while it was still idling in gear. Well, I put the rag up against it the chain, the chain pulled the rag into the sprocket. I heard kinda a pop as i pulled my hand away. It felt like i pinched my finger lightly."

One less fingernail to trim ...

"ahhhh .... fuggit" as someone here would say!

I wonder how many people do that every year. It's got to be one of the top ten dumbest ideas ever, right up there with peeing on the third rail.
