A few things I have learned as a gawker on ADV.

Who wins if he is arguing with Bueller?

PS Great first post! You will fit right in around here.

I don't even have a list...


But if I did, it would list things that I don't even have.

Everybody loses... Even Bueller

Let your motor be your guide.

Awesome first post!

Now what's your real screen name and what kind of oil do you use

OP, by omission, I presume you mean you haven't learnt yet:

• Whether tubed tyres are better or not than tubeless.
• That any motorcycle with a 17" rear wheel is a toy and should not go offroad, ever.
• That any motorcycle with a cush drive is a toy and should not go offroad, ever.
• That the only correct definition of "what constitutes a road" is the most hardcore one in the argument.
• GPSes are for pussies and that real men use maps, but using a GPS purely for tracking is acceptable as a means for uploading a .gpx your incredibly fast/difficult trail ride for others to try and follow. Provided you have a 60CSX, of course.
• Anything other than a tarp/bivvy to keep the rain off means you're a wuss.
• Lashing stuff outside your hard luggage is only acceptable on a RTW trip; doing it on anything shorter than 6 months means you're packing too much.
• If you need to take it to a dealer to get it fixed, you're half a man and deserve for them to charge you $1000 for a $100 job that they do poorly.

Looks like you need to read some more.

Seriously, though, great first post and welcome aboard.

That post was almost perfect.............almost.

No mention of CoG! THE HORROR!!!

No mention of how many fingers on front brake you use to properly stop your moto.
