Join Me In A Rant

[col-el rider]

Ok so I passed my full test about 3 months ago (best day ever) and have been riding a Fazer 600 for the last month (best month ever).
Ok now for some venting, my collegue in work is the kind of fella who if you say you saw a black cat, he's seen two, annoying AF. When i first started my DAS I trained on a Bandit 650, so I would be in work the next day buzzin my t#ts off saying how amazing it was riding this bigger bike and he would just reply with good arnt they (at this point the wind has now left my sails), even though i've known this fella 14 years and never as he mentioned being a biker, and when I had my 125 he was too pussy to ride that, excuse being he's probably forgotten how to ride. He comes out with these overly exagerated BS biking stories from his past that are hillarious and offers rediculous biking advice. So thats some of it out of my system, sorry about this
Does any body else no any one like this, or does the universe just hate me haha?!

[recman]

Plenty of blokes like this at work.
I don't give them any more time than it takes to say bullshit.

[Rogerborg]

Ask him if he wants to go for a ride sometime.

You get people like this all over the place.

"Oh I used to do the doors years ago, fought a hundred pikeys single handed one night"
"I used to ride back in the day, could have beaten Rossi back in my prime"
"Yeah I used to train had to give up due to *insert bullshit excuse*"

My usual response is that's nice mate and then ignore any further yarns they come out with.

[Aceslock]

Just embrace their bullshit and enjoy the yarns they make up.....

YOU know its BS, everyone else knows its BS, but these poor fuckers believe half the shit they spout out........ until you ask them about it a month later, and then it becomes something totally different.....

It actually tickles me

some men feel like the way to get a favourable response is to big themselves up, some of them are complete dicks but some do it because they're a bit too insecure or introverted so they blurt out complete rubbish trying to prove that they are in the same club as you. I've seen it several times.

Haha, he's 40 this guy, and one of his yarns was that he was in the Paras and had done 13 jumps, when I asked someone who had known him since he was 18 he told me he had done basic Army training and quit after 4 weeks. Kind of feel sorry for him, but sometimes you just cant be arsed with the BS. Honestly I could write a book of his tales, hilarity.

[Firkit]

So he's a Walt as well as a fantasy biker. Sounds like a gem. Does he slay dragons at the weekend?

[recman]

I have to nip it in the bud asap as I can't have them thinking I believe.

[M.C]

Do we work together? Guy I work with has army fantasies, also told us how he used to have a ducati. On his a CBT through work he did an unintentional wheelie, lost his bottle and walked off. Of course he told us they were getting him to do a u-turn in 70mph winds.

He's been caught out so many ways its hilarious. Said he was in a band, someone got a video up of the band and asked where he was. He was called out on his army career when he picked out his uniform in a surplus store... a soviet uniform

[yen_powell]

I knew someone like him. When I told a friend and moaned about it, the friend told me off and said, "No, don't get annoyed with him, treasure him, see how wild you can get the stories to be, feed him things he can expand on, nurture him, use him for entertainment."

One of my all time favorites was a fantasist who told me he went head first over the handlebars and it knocked all the enamel off his teeth. Still makes me smirk thinking about it now.

[andyscooter]

I have two false teeth from motocross

Landed tooth first into the handlebar

We have a local village idiot that thinks he runs over the Malvern's in front of the SAS and is really good mates with axel rose

Some hilarious replys here, im enjoying reading them. . I might add, he is actually a really nice fella, he just lets himself down with the extreme BS.
Another golden yarn was a tale of riding a couple of hundred miles on the Isle of White in snow and ice, and when he got to his destination some woman had to poor warm water over him because he was stuck to his bike in the riding postion and couldnt get off, hahahaha!

Everyone knows a Jay ,
I once was friends with a compulsive liar and I swear it's a medical condition as they swear they actually lived that life when you have known them since they were in nappies.
I'm an ex squaddy and the amount of bull I hear and when I question them I normally I get the answer I was in the TA

humerous. There's a bloke at my work who spouts the same sort of junk. He interrupts me mid-sentence to say how he did what i was talking about but better, and on a bigger bike, faster, with the girlfriend on the back. Even to the point where I was saying how shit I was at something, and he chimes in to say he's much worse than me.....
