Pretty sad but you cant always blame the rider, me and a bud were at the stealership thisweekend just killing time lookin round, overheard this girl talking about getting her very first bike (guessing she was 18 or so) and the salesman was hell bent on selling her a 07 1k Gixxer, and im sorry but thats just wrong.

 

This is alittle off the subject but have you guys seen the 07 R1, it looks sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

 

This is off topic also.
But i was at the dealership today looking for a new bike and there was a 05 r1 raven edition and it felt so nice and light did not take it out for a test but i could only imagine what it would do on the streets.

 

I have been riding dailyfor 3 years and I don't know what kind of oil to put in my new bike. So I guess you want to call me underqualified for my bike too? This post is dumb. If you have other reasons to hate that guy then state those otherwise shut up.

 

moly or no moly :synthetic or dino :marvel? amsoil? crisco? HP4 Gl4 ??? I think the guy was an idiot for not reading his manual, but unqualified for a R1? who knows.

 

dont get mad because you dont know what oil to use ... i do agree you shouldnt bash him just because he doesnt know what oil to use but no need to get all pissed off about it

 

Mmm I love ducatis, you speak like the poster child for duc riding ******. Anyway the point is, this is another person buying a bike without educating themself on what they have, which is all too common,anyone with a high performance machine, especially something like an R1 should know their bike, and know the basics of what it needs. Would you buy a guy and not know what kind of bullets to put in it, or a truck not knowing if it was diesel, or gasoline?

 

sounds squidly. but maybe, just maybe, he was trying to get an opinon on what would be the BEST to use. not necessarily the correct oil to use. but i wasnt there, didnt overhear the conversation, just my .02 cents.

 

Hey dumbass, we're not talking about the difference between gas and diesel, we're talking about viscosity. Two numbers that either you choose to memorize or you don't. If you don't then one way to find out is by asking someone who knows. Why do you think someone needs to know their bikes oilviscosity before they do their first oil change?

"Duc riding *****"? Wanna elaborate on that one for me a bit?
I'm a ***** because I don't know what oilviscosity to use on my bike?
No that makes me a squid.
I'm a ***** because I have a ducati and I don't know what oil viscosity to use.

 

At least he was asking...learning.

Still...it is rather distrubing that so many kid's first bikes are high performance...
