Motorcycle Exaggerations
Filed Under (Blog Posts) by John Davis

Like fishing has it’s whoppers such as the “one that got away”, and the outstanding catch which grows in length each time the story is told. So motorcycling has a few exaggerations, urban legends, or better stated; falsehoods, of it’s own. Here’s a few…

“I laid it down to avoid crashing.”

“I bought it to save money”.

“They all do that!”

I got 50′ of air.
I got on the throttle so hard I looped my bike (from a venture owner).
100 ft. lbs. of torque.
Handles like a sportbike (usually used in reference to a bike weighing at least 600 lbs).
A mile long wheelie.
