Confession time

[Sentox]

I rode like a bit of a squid. Definitely not happy with the choices I made. These misdemeanours took place in a canyon-y area, possibly located near my current location. Or not, you never know.

If you're that rider I got fairly close to when pulling out to pass, I apologise. I was a dick :( And if you're those cars I had to dive back in front of, I also apologise. I was definitely a dick.

Now to make sure it doesn't happen again. Seems all too easy to get carried away on these two-wheeled things :mellow:

Seems all too easy to get carried away on these two-wheeled things :mellow: It's definitlely tempting. I can't really stand driving a car anymore..

[Urano]

oh, don't be so boring: everyone does dumb things on the bike, and much more dumb in a car.
it's the human way of gettin older....

;)

[sinfull]

Me too and i'd like to say something to the thousands of ppl i've carved up over the years, the rider i came within inches of his bars yesterday,
The guy/chick in the red car who pulled out on my leg while i was beside them in the passing lane, i'm sorry we all jumped the cue and passed the lot of you, instead of waiting till you had pulled out to pass the camper but really, was that nesessary ? I really felt like coming back and taking your mirror off, but was having too much fun being the squid !

I'd like to say a big fat heart felt FUCK YOU to all those who don't like the way i ride !

Wow your right sentox, i feel way better getting that off my chest !

Haha... I feel pretty safe in saying that guy makes me look like a saint. I may have done some silly passes, but at least they weren't actually on blind corners :mellow:

Sometimes it's the human way to stop getting older too :laugh:

[Princesszxr]

Does that comment at the end translate to mean "im a dumbass!" ??

[325rocket]

dont beat yourself up. its when you dont know youre being a fuckhead that you have problems.

[george formby]

Me too, my hands up! Now & again I plain old fuck up. My apologies to the car drivers who no doubt came close to soiling themselves on the Kaipara loop on boxing day. Their was plenty of room & I was through before you could react but I bet you were as suprised as me & probably a tad annoyed. Another blind dip to add to the list. That could be me.

[Will]

OK Me too, I am putting my hands up. Over the past 40 years I too am guilty of scaring the shit out of people, including my partner.
My Bad.
Sorry
There have been some bloody close calls.
But proof of the pudding is I am still here, and riding.

[carver]

I rode drunk last night with no protective gear on at all, and did 2 up wheelies to a crowd outside the house the party was at.
sidewinder was on the back, and we beat r6kid's attempts..
it was dangerous, irresponsible, and i dont give a fuck

Doing wheelies is one thing, but doing it drunk! come on get a f#@ken brain!!!!

According to google, it's "God is with me". Pretty accurate, I'd say. God may not be so forgiving next time, though :p

Mind you, it's not just motorised two wheelers who are crazy:

[Jayka]

Dont say come on son to me!!!
Stupid antics like that is the reason people get hurt or killed!!!!! What would have happened if you crapped off??? You said that you werent wearing any protective gear, so Im guessing it would have fucken hurt alot!!!!
Pranks like that is a contributing reason why they are making licensing harder and ACC levies higher!!!

My original comment still stands "GET A FUCKEN BRAIN!"

[Toaster]

. if you aint riding like this, you're in the good


So english is no longer a compulsory subject at school?!

[Toaster]

I rode drunk last night with no protective gear on at all, and did 2 up ...

So who was the drunk you rode? And you didn't wear protection? Naughty! Itchy yet???

[Maha]

Drunk Williams, everyone knows Drunk Williams in Hamilton.

You'll get used to what Carver says if you hang around here long enough.....
Don't get too wound up about it... That is what he is after.

waaaaahhhh, come on son, dont cry about it.
it was fun, and i am not sorry.
I didn't think i would fall off, so i did not bother with gear, and seeing as I made the other guy not wear protective gear too, it was only fair

drunk, no helmets, pillion drunk too, and disqualified, while performing a wheelstand.

you should try it some time, jump on the back of a bike with me and we can have a few drinks and sort things out.
oh, ask R6kid what he thought about it.
he'd probably agree that you need to harden up a bit




So who was the drunk you rode? And you didn't wear protection? Naughty! Itchy yet???

haha, well, it is hamilton!

[Toaster]

V8 weekend and it all goes to custard!!!

[kiwifruit]

Bloody cyclists!

If you're going to swear on the internet at least have the balls to type the world in full without substituting letters for symbols.

The Mormons don't need protective gear because they are protected by God. I had their blessing so felt pretty safe about it.

[bluebird]

Holy f**k! what retards. Has Darwin's therory got them yet?

Maybe Darwin was wrong? You're only a retard if you attempt such feats of awesomeness when you lacked the skill to do it in the first place.

[bogan]

cos its still just a theory init! If it get to a law like newtons did, then:crazy: goneski's

Though I don't condone drunken wheelies, as long as nobody else was put in danger who gives a shit. Next time it may be a better comp if theres distance involved, ie biggest wheelie in the 25m before that brick wall :shit: the other day I figured out I can put my cr on the back wheel for a good 6m in our 20odd m back yard :D

[Chrislost]

Protective gear is there to compinsate for your own lack of skill. f you has the skill, why have the gear?
Provided you have eliminated outside factors like u-turning police cars and tourists on teh wrong side of the road...

That's the catch, though. I could spend a few hours thinking of various extrinsic factors that have to be controlled for.

Not wearing gear is kind of like smoking, in one sense. Ostensibly, it's your problem, but when you get dragged off to our Crown-funded healthcare system, everyone pays.


The Manawatu Gorge is no place to be caught short eh?

Amen. Illegal or not, I don't consider it unsafe by default to pass there (well, at least not in the parts with good visibility)... but it's not the place to bite off more than you can chew.

[R6_kid]

Go on then... write me a list. I'll be sure to check them all off next time I think of doing wheelies on a motorbike after having a few beers.

yes, i will too....

[R6_kid]

yes, i will too....

We can double check it and be double safe.

[Sentox]

Hmmm.... no.

[carver]

Hmmm.... no.

you people dont know how to have fun

[Sentox]

you people dont know how to have fun

I figured the aim was to get me all up in arms and shouting from the rooftops while you guys had a good laugh at my expense. Not really my thing.

For the record though, my comment was referring to general riding, not confined stunting. If people want to wheelie drunk outside someone's house, whatever.

well, it was on a public road

[Sentox]

I wasn't under the impression you owned your own road ;) Seriously, though, someone popping a few wheelies isn't about to get me hyperventilating. There's a lot more important things to worry about, like burning my toast. Unless the wheelie kills some kittens, then I'll be upset.

Keep in mind the warning from my other thread - "scary suituation...".

When you ride with ego you tend to get into stupid stuatons because ego overrides common sense. Is it worth risking lives because you want to pass now and not two turns later?

Also, when you are passing on a bike - remember there are twodistinct stages - actually passing, and being able to return to your lane, in control, without hitting the next corner way too fast....

Your thread pretty much nails the issue that gets me into trouble: not the initial decision to pass, but "just one more" syndrome.

not a chance, but i will say that it was in winter, and sidewinder was in front of me doing the same thing
