    Yeah it cut me deep, real deep.

    Please refriend me and I'll never suggest you're a windbag on KB again. In fact stay tuned and I'll make a friend request right away....

    lol you say that like it makes a lot of difference Steve lol.

    The overwhelming response says it all really.

    On a personal level he has a point, sometimes & ive always maintained that, but his troglodyte head bashing against a brick wall approach just doesn't appeal to most & the poll here suggests just that. Personally again, I read a lot about motorcycling & ride as often as I can in order to hone my skills. Katman's so called "campaign" which is more accurately described as "mad rantings that often end in PD" are far from the only source of this type of info, thankfully. I feel he limits his own success rate by his approach therefore renders himself almost useless. But as has been mentioned if he saves but one life then it is worth it.


    I just seems a little redundant to aim for just one
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Truth is, I'd have been satisfied with just one 'yes' vote.

    Mr Katman's "campaigning" has forced me to delight in savouring the delights of a naked Italian howling with erotic delight at or near her red line, and understanding how the strategic application of throttle can provoke her front wheel to become momentarily unconstrained from the Earth's gravitational attraction.

    seems to me like hes more than happy to dish out advice for his idea of the greater good, but completely incapable of taking other advice, most of which is meant to help him in his quest to make roads safer for bikers.

    While it makes for a lovely cliche........"one life saved" it's hard to respect a process that alienates so many

    I reckon Katman and his old Suzuki would give most of the people who don't like his posts the learn.

    So the biggest whinger of 'safe' riding has obviously been observed riding at a fair clip?....on the road?
    If true Sergeant Showboat would be one big mac sized hypocrite would he not?
