I just feel that as a generally slower rider myself I feel quite justified in taking corners at whatever speed I feel is safest FOR ME. If I'm cornering poorly then that is my responsibility to look at improving that, and who knows some of those riders might be making an effort to do just that. But these things take time and practice.

I ride slow too, but the point I am getting out of this thread is that regardless of speed, why not take a "good" line through the corner? Rather than just any line that will get you round the bend. And as for it being your (and I don't just mean you PB, I mean the rider) responsibility to improve - it is quite possible that the rider concerned is not aware there IS a better line through the corners.

I always find it funny in here when people are ranting and raving and criticising the poor standards of car drivers on NZ roads... yet sooooooo many motorcyclists also have bad habits and road skills as well.

Logically, you'd expect the same percentage of bike riders to have poor skills as car drivers.
At least until they were weeded out of the gene pool....

Maybe too many of those crap bike riders are also crap drivers.
