I'm married so I'm well versed at not really paying attention when I'm getting unsolicited advice.

I like my bike just fine stock, it starts idles and runs like a champ. Doesn't matter the what the weather does it just chugs along. The thing I don't like with doing a bunch of performance mods is it just never stops, if you change this you have to change that etc. It's a PIA if you ask me specially when the bike runs good as it is.

This guy just cracked me up because he was so adamant about how I needed to upgrade this and that when he clearly didn't know what the hell he was doing..

The, "You should do ..."
I'll nod and pretend to listen, if it goes on for too long I just say, "You ride your ride and I'll ride mine." and walk

If I am feeling frisky, I'll respond with, "No amount of mods makes up for skill, learn to ride that show bike."

You just summed up how the internet works.

I usually listen to what the troll has to say. But I am more interested when a babe rides up on a sports bike or a springer, then I get enthusiastic.
