Lol but didnt think there is such a thing as a racing line for a GN

Bugger for ya Thani, but just remember, Road lines are different to race lines - similar yes, but different nonetheless.

Thani, Don't take this as me trying to tell you how to ride etc bcoz it's not. It doesnt matter to me how u choose to ride, just don't want to see you get hurt and I can see lack of experience on a bigger bike being an issue here - especially with words like racing line and a few other comments been thrown arnd.

Also it's important to remember that when you do get a bigger bike, white lines aren't the only things that make the rear loose. Any corner including a dry warm racetrack with heated tires has the potential to do this. Your a capable rider just work on bettering what uve got. Or bcom a squid like me who wheelies everywhere but cant coner lol

Better to go back on the same road at 10 kmph and relive what happened in your head, trust me it works wonders. You won't make the same mistake again. Also don't worry abt Cheshire she's just being mean.

Its a joke Raj. I dont ride to the racing line, you've ridden with me, you should know that. Granted you are usually in front but still.

And that sentence

Buy a cbr250rr - i need to sell my parts to someone

Woah, bummer of a crash. Glad to hear you came out OK. A sore thumb and a few bruises is doing OK for a 95km/h bin into a ditch!

Try not to make a habit of it - take it from one who's done it too many times. It's expensive and it hurts

Do try and take it easy when you get back on. Watch out for your brain playing stupid tricks on you when it thinks it recognises the same situation happening again - like chopping the throttle in fast corners, that kind of thing. Seems to happen to me for a week or so after an incident. Stupid brain.

But if - as you mentioned - you're confidence is fine, then no worries! Hope you heal quickly and get back out there!

With that comment, I now think you overestimate your riding skills.

I know what I can do. Thats all that matters to me.

And I have had a few people say congrats for highsiding it (not just lowsiding it). Thats where that bit was coming from.

I'm not going to sit here and try and figure out what that mistake was: whether it was not riding to the conditions, riding too fast, wrong line, etc. What matters is that Thani figures that out herself and learns from it. Don't just write it off as "an accident". Think of it as an invitation to humby figure out what you need to change.

Chesire Cat, I'm sure you make mistakes too - the argument should not be about mistakes but attitudes and learning from them. You guys have run well away from that into "mine's bigger than yours".

Feminism. Women acting like idiotic testosterone filled men. :-)

Oh yea I have made mistakes! and I'm not comparing myself to her or her crash to mine. And I'm not acting like an idiotic testosterone filled man, I'm just saying my opinion.

I don't need to prove myself to anyone by jelly wrestling.
