Well, alot of valid points
I read most of the posts this morning so have had alotta time to absorb it, as well as getting constant shit from the 15 guys working in the boat with me, and ive had alot of time to think.
(p.s) the rs in my profile is not the one this accident happened on, this is..
I have decided that yes, i was riding out side my capabilities.
My bike is able to go 220km/h it is able to take corners at highspeed, and it is able to out brake most things,
but I am not,
these things are all skills that riders can aspire to, but they have a time and a place to be learnt over hours of practice
the road is no place for any of these things, I want to be a safe rider, there is no glory in being wrong, the accident is nobodys fault but my own which I said before, not the suspensions, mine, Ive also decided that it doesnt matter whose fault an accident is, the rider is always the one who comes out worse off, its nobodys responsibility but my own to make sure I come out alright.
Someone mentioned something about following my mates rather than reading the road myself, this I feel was a big factor and I didnt realise it till I read it, ill learn from that
im really gonna take my time to rebuild this machine, in that time Im going to learn to respect it, in that time im gonna decide what I do, Ive crashed that many times but love riding so much ive always got straight back on a bike, I would like to get into racing, I have no doubt whatsoever I will ride my rs250 again, I may however look at selling it for a trackbike, time will tell
Confident the aprilia rsv4, IS the one
Nice post. Good luck with the rebuilding project.
For whom the bell tolls
you were always a cunt at school cam, but i knew that somewhere behind your badass exterior was a sensible guy.
Get in touch if you need a hand with the bike, check out corsa m/c wreckers over in Mt Wellington, he deals with a lot of ex-japan bikes and can get almost any aprilia part you need.
You got my number if you want to talk.

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

I cant believe the first post of this thread...at all of 20 years of age you have practiced safe riding (geez now that just about sent me into hysterics!) more crashes than i've had in my lifetime... Guess you will be paying for it for many years to come.
Give it up, get a pushie instead...whole lot cheaper at the rate you seem to get through bikes.
2nd thoughts maybe you have 'seen the light' ....good luck and please stay up north

Excellent to read your last post - spot on really.
You're a lucky guy to get off physically unharmed and a lot has been learnt.
Good luck with getting the RS back on the road and yourself back into riding.
Take it easy and don't ever lose respect for your bike, especially if it's so high strung like the RS which is as close to 250gp that you're gonna get. A bike like that not only demands but requires respect - without it... well you known from experience.
<< Got fuck all of these
Well mate, I hope you do learn from this. Im thrilled that you are 100% understanding of the fact that you fucked up and you were not riding safely. Fuck it ive done it, just im either more lucky or you do it daily. I have to admit I am sceptic, and that is without taking your crash history into account.
Fix the bike up and prove me wrong dude.
Has anyone seen my baffles?
Hardcore Biker
No, I started out a fucking hoon, crashed repeatedly and only now Im trying to slow down
I bought the bike from corsa.. Im in touch with him for new parts atm..
As far as I can tell the forks arent bent... just the steering pin and the bottom fork clamp...
the plastics and tank are absolutely fine, not a mark on them..
But I am gonna take my time and really think for a while..
The bike will be back in 1 piece in no time, if everything goes to plan, a more sensible aware rider at the helm

very strange lad, like someone else said re-read your owm post and get a life bloody dork what if ohhhhhh why bother probly wouldnt sink in
putt putt

Just get out and ride the twistys by yourself some more, you'll be fine. Don't ride with your mates just yet... unless you can let yourself let them go. Some people are faster than you, never be sucked into chasing them
Dude you need to get yourself along to one of my carpark sessions, I'll demonstrate how to get a tank slapper coming off a wheelie and low side while drifting around a corner, all on your bike at no charge and minimal damage
Fair weather rider
No one ever does...
Is it just me or does anyone else notice a pattern?
Stop grabbing a handfull of front brake!! Learn to read the situation and adjust your speed before hand. So what if the bike is as close to a GP250 as you can get, a bike is only as good as the person riding it.
Calm down, count to 10, nuf said.....

yeah, good to read your last post. If you meant it, then it's a start to becoming a more responsible rider... Ride with more mature KBers who are not into their ego and don't mind slowing down and showing you anything or 2. Listen to them. I did and am better for it!

Give up riding? No
Slow down? Yes
Ride within your capabilities my friend. You'll learn more and live longer.
