I keep saying it, if you're a straight woman or gay man, bikes are absolutely going to get you laid. If you're not, well have fun talking to random guys anyway

All of these are very common moto lies, but none of them is my favorite

My favorite moto lie was when a Harley-Davidson mechanic told me that I couldn't put a Harley-Davidson battery in my Honda, because it would spin the engine too fast and break all the valves

Your Honda 12 volts is just 12 volts, but a Harley's 12 volts are 12 volts of HERITAGE

Yeah, current draw is defined by the device doing the drawing, up to the current limit of the battery. Voltage is defined by the cell config of the battery. Spinning faster is a function of voltage, and Harleys are plain old 12v systems, so they wont act any differently. "Bigger" batteries for automotive applications tend just to be more cells paralleled up for more current, which is again defined by the device doing the current draw.

For content, one of my favorite moto lies:

I'm gonna put a turbo on it.

I have only ever seen one aftermarket turbocharged streetbike out in the wild. It was an oil-cooled GSXR-1000 drag bike that the owner had swapped the factory swingarm back onto in order to go on a ride with some friends of mine and I because his other bikes were down for the count at the time.

I have never seen a more awe-inspiring, yet completely terrifying unstreetable monster of a bike on the street.

It made zero power down low. I was on a GSXR-600 at the time, which also made no power down low and I could leave him in the dust from a standing start (because he also didnt have the two step rev-limiter and other boost building things turned on on the street), but once the revs climbed and his turbo spooled, he would blow by me like I was in reverse in every single gear. He ran with the boost turned down on the street and it was still completely bananas at pretty much all times.

Turbo bikes on the street just dont make a ton of sense and so no one does it except a few weirdos, is what I'm saying.

It should be illegal to sell a visor that isn’t transitions
