    lol how long does one have to ride to not be considered a "noob"? Or do they just have to get a reputation?

    I don't know the answer to that one. For starters though 'act' like you know something and stop asking noob questions?

    uhh, perhaps not. It is very wise to ask questions and be wrong occasionally.

    No shame in asking questions you dont know the answer to. You stop being a "noob" when you realise just how much there is that you DON't know, hence leading you to more questions. Which you should ask

    Thinking you know it all, puts you very much into the "noob" category...

    p.s. Don't feed the troll

    Perhaps, but asking noobs questions on KB not only classifies you as a noob but also a knob.

    PS: Once you can do a rolling burnout and converth that to a wheelie you are not a noob in my books. Also if you can keep pace with me your not a noob. Everyone else is a noob.

    Toto I get where you are coming from and apreciate YOUR comments as solid advice for people.
    The bit I really can't agree with is the implication that a road is safe because you are familar with it.
    A road is NOT the same as a racetrack where you have sighting laps (practice) THAT DAY and are constantly kept informed even be it only via pits gossip that parts of the track are slippery/bumpy/have debris on them.
    EVERY time you ride a road it can be and very often is different. I genuinely feel that to not ride with that thought will eventually bite you and bloody hard.
    mate i have seen it happen way too many times over the years to to not firmly believe it.
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Half the fun of riding is the risk level...
    You may aswell get a convertable if all you want is the wind between your ears and some nice roads...
    If riding with knob ends its safer to be 5km in front of them then following their dogey lines into corners that none of you know!

    Just remember in every corner,
    Fast in Faster out! The less time spent on that patch of gravel the less time your bike has to slide out

    Fuck them.
    Its in YOUR head.
    However if you ride like a n00b you will be known as a n00b. it may take you one ride, or you may go on 1000 rides and stil ride like a n00b
