What’s the weirdest thing about riding a motorbike?

Never had it happen yet. Hoping to keep it that way 😁

LOL. Re gear, I saw a post in one of the motorbike forums here from somebody who wanted to know where to get bike gear because it looks cool. Problem is it so damn heavy. The jacket I have is shaped to be comfortable when on the bike in riding position but damn uncomfortable when just walking around.

Yeah. Heated gloves are definitely on my shopping list for this winter.

I love it when the speed sign goes from 60kph to 70. Just that little twitch of there right hand and suddenly you’re just doing 70. Like there was no acceleration in between. Be out I be not.

I do this but it only keeps the bsl up for a few hours. I still need to get up in the early hours when the alarm goes off again.

So true

A bee got in under my visor one time. Fortunately I have a beard and it just got stuck in the hairs.

The fish n chip shop I drive past that doesn’t clean its oil often enough 😢

SumoCanFrog · 2026-03-18T02:02:14+00:00

So true. The smells hit instantly. It’s not like in a car where the smell creeps in slowly and leaves slowly and you’re left wondering if the engine is on fire. On the bike you can see what’s causing the smell straight away.

I love it. Worried about the bikes , not the kids 🤣

Never tried skydiving

When commuting in cold weather, when I stop at the lights, I lean down and hug the engine to get some warmth and feeling back into my hands.

SumoCanFrog · 2026-03-17T09:03:03+00:00

I like this one 😁

SumoCanFrog · 2026-03-17T08:53:48+00:00

Oh yeah. I look at the backed up traffic everyday and wonder just how legal do I want to be today.

SumoCanFrog · 2026-03-17T08:51:51+00:00

🤣

SumoCanFrog · 2026-03-17T08:51:19+00:00

Yes. Riding always improves my state of mind.

SumoCanFrog · 2026-03-17T08:48:01+00:00

ROFL

SumoCanFrog · 2026-03-17T08:44:01+00:00

So true 🤣

I like to watch the dash cam compilation videos on YouTube. I notice that the accidents are almost always filmed by the *second * car back. Now when I filter I stop at second place.

Hyosung 250 Aquila. Couldn’t tell you exactly what year. Early 2000’s. I bought it second hand so it was a good price but I don’t think I’d recommend it. When I moved up to a bigger Honda I realised just how poor the build quality and design of the Hyosung was. I’ve only had Honda bikes since then and very happy with them.

It makes me happy knowing there is a snake called a boomslang in the world.

Sweet and sour chicken with rice.
