Tell me more about your sandwiches.
What are some of your favorite lies you've heard when it comes to motorcycles.

One of mine comes from older Harley riders "I never use the front break since it will lock up and send you flying"

Or, when it comes to gear and getting in wrecks, you can use gear more than once when it comes to wrecks outside of helmets (Within reason, helmets get changed out though)

You don't need to "push" the bars to turn at speed, just wrestle the bike in the direction you want it to go.
Gear is useless.
I won't speed ever on the brand new r1/Gixxer/CBR1000.
MSF classes aren't worth the money and it's way better to be taught by a friend/whoever.

I love my sportster/fat boy/softtail. The speed, the power. It’s like nothing you can understand.

What’s that? You ride a Japanese literbike? The style...the history...it’s like nothing you can understand...

Oh...another one that annoys me:

You’ve been riding motorcycles for the past 30 years (I’m 47)? ME TOO! I rode my cousins 80cc dirt bike when I was 12.

All of these are very common moto lies, but none of them is my favorite

My favorite moto lie was when a Harley-Davidson mechanic told me that I couldn't put a Harley-Davidson battery in my Honda, because it would spin the engine too fast and break all the valves

Well you see this here 'murican battery is designed for a 'murican motorcycle with way more displacement than that piece of jap crap, er, Honda, and it's just too much power for that bike to handle. 'Murica.

Your Honda 12 volts is just 12 volts, but a Harley's 12 volts are 12 volts of HERITAGE
