My club is having some fun with this topic, so I thought I'd throw it out here for the BadWebbers as well. Basically, we're recounting experiences that would normally end with "...don't ask me how I know." For example, my two contributions were: 1) The tip over protection bars on the BMW K1200LT really work well. Don't ask me how I know. 2) The Honda CB750K has an arrow on the fuel valve that points in the OPPOSITE direction from the valve itself. You are supposed to line up the arrow and NOT the valve to the settings for "On," "Off," and "Reserve." Don't ask me how I know... Have some fun! | ||

"The Zox helmet is great at protecting your dome when crashing head first, don't ask me how I know." is this what you mean? :P | ||

One should be careful when applying Flexall 454 to the upper thigh for hamstring pulls and it should NEVER be used for groin pulls. Don't ask me how I know.  | ||

I understand Monkey Butt powder isn't recommended for female riders. Don't ask me who told me. | ||

The hex on a ~$25 Buell clutch cable that you just received in the mail from DaveS, and which is the only thing preventing you from getting your new-to-you S3 on the road will snap RIGHT off if you tighten it just a little too tight, requiring you to spend another $25 plus shipping and wait another week before you ride your bike for the first time. Don't ask my how I know... | ||

Toothpaste is not recommended for use as personal lubricant. Don't ask... | ||

It is always best to unlock the fork lock before attempting to ride your new Harley. Don't ask me how I know this. | ||

Buells run poorly or not at all with a rag left in the throttle body... | ||

Having way too much vitamin C can be a bad thing. On the same note, eating way too many of those sugar free gummies is also a bad thing. Scientist type friends with an access to phenolphthalein should not be trusted around your coffee. Don't ask me how I know... | ||

The Caribou cases are structurally rugged and will support the weight of the toppled bike, left and right. "dont ask me how I know" A race can will not withstand adventure riding abuse. | ||

Never trust a hydraulic jack to keep your bike off the ground with both wheels taken off. Don't ask... | ||

"Don't ask..." However... if anyone needs to know how to get wheels back on a bike after it has fallen off its stand (stupid hydraulic jack), ask away. I was so upset at the jack, I disassembled it down to it's smallest components, kept the fasteners for my Magic Fastener Box, and threw it's dismembered parts away in separate garbage cans. | ||

Do not eat two pounds of pistatio nuts in one sitting. A Spide-Man helmet from the UK can crack a Ultra's fork leg right in half. With a concusion it is still possible to pass a final exam with a B. Erik Buell will help you push your low sided bike off a BattleTrax course. Sanding without a mask gives you sawdust boogers. | ||

Do not consume a huge ice cream float made with non-fat ice cream and diet root beer, because it'll make you sick as a dog. Do not do it again the next day. Don't ask me how I know. | ||

The Arai Corsair will hold the weight of an XB9 laid on its side case WITH your head inside the helmet. | ||

Danny works for the Hydraulic Jack Sopranos. Did you bury the carcass in the woods in rural NJ? | ||

Crashing with gear on is better than crashing with out.... | ||

Never leave a Bell helmet on the ground around a dog with a "control problems"...don't ask me how I know! | ||

While driving about 75 mph in POOOR visibility in your BRAND NEW Dodge Charger RT, dont second guess if you JUST saw a semi tire in laying in the road in front of you. Then as you hit it .... and the ASS end of the car comes off the ground... think to yourself that it MAY not be THAT bad...  -Matt. | ||

Dont dump the clutch at 40mph and 5000rpm on a XB12. | ||

Full face helmets are better than skull caps. Don't ask me how i know... (in case you want to ask... http://froggypwns.com/images/Bike%20wrecks/2007-10 -18/slides/IMG_2016.JPG ) | ||

Did you bury the carcass in the woods in rural NJ? Wait - there's such a place as "rural" NJ? And I thought it was a myth. | ||

When going to the men's room after eating your way through two trays of "All You Can Eat" Buffalo Chicken Wings, wash your hands FIRST. Don't ask... | ||

Just read this the other day- Scientists have found a new STD. Apparently its been around for years, they have finally given it a name-K.I.D.S. Don't ask, I don't have a clue yet.  | ||

Never.... EVER, say 'watch this' to anyone while you are riding a motorcycle. D A M H I K! | ||

It is possible to lock up the rear brake on a 700 lbs Suzuki M109R, swing the ass end way out with smoke pouring off the rear wheel through a turn trying to avoid a dirtbike stopped across your lane and keep both feet on the pegs the whole time while not only having it look "awesome" to the riders behind you but also keep from dumping the bike. Your heel will also touch the ground much faster on said M109R than it will on any Buell. Don't ask how I know. |
