I know there is a lot of good advice on this board from a lot of knowledgable people but once in a while you see some advice that just makes you shake your head. It might be kind of funny to see some of them together to discuss.
My all time favorite is "if you don't like the noise turn up your radio". Yeah right, like most of us would actually put a radio on our bikes even if it was a real solution.
What are your favorites?
Worst advice to someone who has a problem, "Just ride it, that's normal" Or it's a Harley, "What do you expect?" Or "Go buy a Goldwing" I have zero problems with my bike and love it, but I feel bad for some people who post problems and get hosed with flippant and useless comments, I read a thread where someone posted a legitimate question about moving to Cal. and someone called him a "sap" for wanting to move there. WTF. The dude was from Detroit and asking about emmissions and wanted to move near his family to start over why would that make him a "sap"? Worst advice is from those with an ax to grind, life is too short for that. Peace.
