I'ma get medieval on your ass!
All this talk about "the Zone" etc doesn't really help if the objective of our discussion is safety. My zone is about 140k but ranges from 130 - 165k depending on the road and the conditions.
Despite my personal view that this is safe and "feels" right, the constabulary have a different perspective.And if I'm honest with myself, there is no way I can guarantee come to a screeching controlled halt in an emergency. I think I can but every time...........??

+1 (I think it's my first) for showing peeps how to post on a forum without being ignorant or emo

There are fast bikers and there are old bikers. Mutually exclusive. nuff said
The instructions are simple...
Style? Fuck off. Bulls in china shops have more style. Evening classes in Advanced Neanderthal could help you improve your style quite a bit. Who knows...maybe you'll even graduate? Anything is possible...Fuck off - that's my style of Mentoring. Telling idiots to pull their fucking heads in.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

Ok, we can't all afford trackdays and we sometimes speed, but remember kids, pushing your limits on blind cornered, traffic filled roads with no run off and a strong possibility of diesel, cowshit and gravel is not really gonna improve your "skills".
It's just playing roulette.

My take on this is that instead of trying to up the pace, then try and up the smoothness, skill, experience and knowledge. When these increase the pace will go up automatically and safely. If you are pushing the pace to a level you are not comfortable with, then you are pushing too hard. It may have fatal consequences if done outside a controlled environment. Are you ready for a corner that tightens and has a little gravel?
Actually pushing the limits should probably only happen on a racetrack. You don't want to find your limit on the road.
Ride fast or be last.

I feel it somewhat disturbing to read such threads, not less for the amount of meaningless slapping going on for 15 pages (bar less than a handful useful comments).
When I'm pushing my bike too much, the last thing that springs to my mind is some random comments from an unknown biker on KB (not known by me, that is). And if it ever does, it will undoubtedly be too late (or it will mean that I'm about to do something stupid).
If I really wanted to read useful things about riding at pace, I'd pick a recognised and reliable source and learn about the physics of biking without mention of "pushing the boundaries", as it is the handling and not the boundary that matters. And then I'd practice it, little at a time, to hone my skills as safely as can be on a bike.
But then I ride a cruiser, so what do I know about biking anway?
[edit] I came into this thread thinking it was about "The Pace". Not quite, heh?!
ACC can go fuck themselves
Just red rep him like you do everyone else who disagrees with you.Ohhh but if I was, I'd soooo infract his arse.

What acc should subsidise is rider training days, trackdays are great.... but a rider training day is better... learning the most effective ways of stopping, suspension, blah blah blah, are going to give you greater skills to call upon if you find yourself in a precarious situation by pushing your boundaries (as we all do)

seems we can't discuss anything with out the 10 pages of crap between decent posts.my god

for what it's worth I do enjoy others take on improving skills, stretching themselves etc. all while keeping themselves in one piece
