Okay, so I've been thinking, you know how some people say that guys with big bikes are compensating for something...

Well, I got into the habit of saying that a guy's "manhood" is inversely proportional to his engine size.. but I had no idea what the relationship was... ???

So I got to thinking more... Let's use these factors:

Power
Engine displacement
body weight
bike weight

I wanted to take all these factors into account, because there's nothing worse than a super skinny guy, who rides a really big bike, and has 2 chicken strips, or a really fat guy, who rides a scooter.... I'm looking for a happy balance between power, displacement, and weight.. You know, normal, good around, respectful, caring people (which has nothing to do with these variables :)....

and let's throw in some arbitrary ratios.

body weight + bike weight = total weight = manhood
---------------------------------------
Power x engine displacement (decimal)

So, for me, it would be:

150lbs + 320lbs (est.) = 81.
---------------------
25 (est.) x .249cl

If I were to complete my modifications to my bike and hit my goal of 40hp, my "manhood" would be 40...

I have no idea what these numbers mean, and I'm thinking of just picking a range, where if somebody falls into that range you're cool, and outside on either side, you're a tool.

Help me think here peoples... I'd like to be able to scientifically substantiate my claims!!!

hmmmm...when its not 8 in the morning (as 30 mins from my 'first' bike lesson ill get a pen and some paper and work this out properly with units that you have to use, e.g. Kg, so then we'll have a standard for it

Hmmmm.. I don't follow your figures.. ???
Here's a power to weight calculator..

mine is 85.943775 .... that F'ing manly right thur. hahahaha wtf... i dont think this makes any sense, but it is giving me a laugh!

that's kind of the point Mikie... It's not a serious calculation by any means. You know when you pull up at the coffee shop, and the other bikers there give you a hard time about riding a small bike, you can say: "Well, I can scientifically prove to you that I'm more of a man than you". or "Well my man quotient is higher than yours, and I can prove it."

Then write all this math down, and show them "scientifically", that you're more of a man... Cause ya know, the guys with the bigger bikes have to compensate for something... Just kidding, I don't really believe that, but it will be a nice way to banter back, and hopefully, everybody gets a laugh out of it in the end...

lol ... just have a logo saying HIBRID on the side of the bike....that will defenatly have them with a ? mark on their face..

haha yerp! thats quite a good idea actually
