You may have read the article we did about the 20 stupid questions that riders get asked. For this particle piece, we have turned that concept on its head. Here we examine the most ridiculous statements that we’ve heard riders say to one another.
If you hear any of these comments, you can be pretty certain that you are talking to an ignorant, inexperienced, arrogant or self-opinionated rider. A rider that genuinely doesn’t know what they are talking about, but that doesn’t stop them from providing you with their opinion.
These are riders who see very little value in training; believe every urban myth about motorcycling; think that they know it all - because they’ve watched every video on YouTube - and have zero interest in improving their skills. Basically, ‘its all mouth and no trousers!’ In other words, these people are all talk and have no riding ability worth speaking of.
You may well have heard quite a few of these comments before. Some may have left you totally baffled, others may have convinced you that the person saying them is having a laugh at your expense. We have compiled this list so that you will be able to easily recognize this BS when you hear it
