I've seen a lot of strange comments on other motorcycle forums regarding weather. Fortunately none here so far! I've seen people complaining about getting hot on a bike when it's hot outside and getting wet when riding in the rain. I decided that I'd add a page on my web site to explain the Motorcycle Facts of Life to prospective riders. It's written somewhat sarcastically but honestly, every thing I've put on there I've seen someone complain about. I really think there are some people who believe that a motorcycle has an invisible bubble around it that will protect them from everything. Here Is A Link to the page if you guys want to take a look at it. If you want to add something to the page there is an email link at the bottom of the page and I'll gladly add anything that someone has to contribute. Absurdity is welcome, sarcastic is great. Vulgarity won't get posted since I've always tried to keep my site semi-clean. Oh yeah, the part about "Sand" was true. A guy bought a bike, rode it through some sand, and dumped it. New rider, first bike, first few miles of ownership. He wanted to sue the manufacturer for false advertising since it was advertised as capable of handling that kind of surface.
a few more Motorcycles require regular maintenance. If you are not mechanically inclined it is expensive to pay someone to work on your bike (especially if the the name of the manufacturer ends in "i" or men in lederhosen must fix them) Tires are expensive. shut up about how expensive they are, if you want to have a good time in the curves, you have to pay for the date... just like with your girlfriend. (tyres are also expensive, but heavier - you pay by the pound for them) Your bike is not the only perfect motorcycle in the world for everyone all the time. Stop acting like the 6'5" 18 yr old squid and the 5'6" 65 yr old must both love the bike you happen to own right now (unless it is an 07 RWB 25th Anniversary Honda Interceptor). Red is not the fastest color. Watch the olympics.
