Some theories, rumors and possible bullshit.

Everyone has their opinions and superstitions concerning motorcycles.  Some are technical and some are actually just heresay.  Whether or not there is any validity to these is anybodys guess.  I wont pretend to know the answers but maybe you can provide some feedback.  Maybe some feedback citing examples would help.

Here are just a few.  I will add more as the blog progresses.

1)  Touching rotors with bare fingers will damage them.  Supposedly the acid on you finger tips will cause the rotors to warp and wear prematurely.

2)  If you drop a helmet, from any height, you need to buy a new one because its integrity has been compromised.

3)  Green bikes are bad luck.

4)  Bells attached to your bike will drive away gremlins.

5)  A dead mans bike is bad luck to ride.

6)  Loud pipes save lives...  The louder the bike, the more likely they are to be noticed.

7)  Torque specifications are for losers.
