Things you learn over the years. Post here.

Never tell a guy that his brother ( or dad) is hot if you ever want to speak to him again.

Riding around in front of a group of hot guys is fun. Without a doubt, you will embarass yourself. Your bike will choose that exact moment to do something stupid, like backfire loudly, stall or get the throttle stuck wide open. But, it will be fun, and eventually you will laugh about it.

A stuck throttle is scary as hell.

Do not race your friends on an RM250 with no rear brakes, and wickedly touchy front ones.

Do not race your friends on your uncle's RM250, with a sticky throttle.

Whipping a '82 XR 500 is stupid. Doing it twice hurts.

Landing no handed is cool only when you don't bottom out, slam into the bars, and nearly break your wrist.

Over jumping on a KTM 520, bottoming out, crushing the spark arrestor with the brake caliper, blowing out a tire tube and destroying the tire.... is fricken hillarious when it's not your bike.

Never jump over a hillclimb if you don't know what's on the other side

Consistency is faster than top speed

Riding a KX 250 with a broken clutch and a bald tire isn't very fun.

Never rip on someone elses bike, because then yours may blow up.

Apparently "no motorized vehicles" includes dirtbikes...who woulda thunk.

Don't wear stained shorts while riding.....the ER nurse might be hot.

"Dad, that's a two stroke" is the coolest thing a 3 year old can say.

6 pairs of bent 7/8" handlebars are more expensive than 1 oversize clamp and fat bars.

Come to think of it I'm not sure if the shorts were stained before or during the crash.

it sucks gettin filter oil off a cat

Dont fly over a 1-2 foot jump without standing because you think nothing will happen ;)

dont try to jump off the side of a xr75 in a parking lot, still holding onto the bars, with a skateboard in your hand, and try to land on it.

In the shop

A dropped sparkplug (even in the box) WILL smash the electrode shut.

A dropped aerosol can WILL break off the button

Dropped aerosol cans are usually used only once!!

Tearing your own motor down for the mechanic to put back together doesn't save you any time!! or money!! ( Im a Mechanic)

Tighening the drain plug just a little bit more will crack the cases.

Lefty doesn't always mean loosey

Never put clutch springs in with an impact wrench! You aren't that good

never put the drain plug in without tightening it.

Alway leave the fill plug out until you pour the trans oil in...same with the anti freeze!!!

A small spot of anti sieze on your finger will soon end up on your face, arm, leg,chest and back!!! MAGIC STUFF!

JB Weld isn't permenant

The hardest bolt to get to is usually the one that stripps

bolts that break with locktight on them dry much faster than any other bolt in the motor.

never put in a half stripped allen headed bolt.. it will soon be completly stripped(usually with green locktight deep inside the case cover)

Never put a big bore kit with porting in a tired 10 year old bike with a stock crank, replace the crank ;) .

when changing your oil make sure there is a pan to catch the oil

if just getting into dirt biking dont expect changing tires to be the same as mountain bike tires

when your neighbor and his cr250 start to go out of control dont try to stay next to him

dont draw dirt bikes in your math journal save it for art class

if you drop your oil dipstick wipe it off BEFORE you put it back on

have good tires before you head out for the snow

when a group of harley riders ride by your house dont get on your bike and ride next to them......

 

[250girl]

Make sure the electric fence is turned off BEFORE you try to step OVER it !!

Tie your hair back before you stick your eyeball in the tank to see how much gas there is.

Gas makes your beautiful chest length blonde bangs smell nasty ( and 2-stroke oil makes it hareder to wash out).

Don't ride alone.

If you do, don't take "one last try" at clearing that table top.

The four-leaf clover you found and taped to your helmet will at some point run out of luck.

Gravity always wins.

Trying to spit out a real mouthful of dirt (not just a few grains of sand) is just not that easy.

If your mouth is full, chances are that there's a good deal of dirt in your nose too.

Laughter at stupidity is inevitable. Especially when the first piece of broken helmet you pick up has a "stupid hurts" sticker on it.

Riding a motorcycle is amazing!
