[250learna]

First of all sorry bout your dad, may he RIP.

I have riden my m8s bikes on an odd ocasion for a year or two now, but i have only goten my licence a month ago and a bike bout 2 weeks before than, and i gota tell you i dont know how someone can be excited about falling off.I have not done it yet perhaps because im to scared of doing so, so i am testing my limits at my own leisure and staying within my limit...
was close to having an accident two days ago tho because some lady was giving me way as i was turning and tehn decided to take her foot of the break, i twisted the wrist to avoid being hit and heded for the cerb, then breaks... and just managed to stop in time, scary stuff
im a safe rider

I'm sorry to hear your story, I think its ok for the rider to laugh about minor incidents that are their fault as this is just part of the acceptance proccess larger crashes are nothing to be laughed about its just not funny at all, I have not being able to laugh at any of mine except the one where I crashed the ZZR the last time before I gave up on it, as that was just my fault.

Just how I feel sorry if it insults you

I THINK YOU CAN SHOOT WALLABYS WITH A PERMIT ON KAWAU ISLAND

You can shoot them with a rifle near Waimate........

My condolences Sniper, and as for the rest of your post, absolutely right! I've never enjoyed a bin, although I laughed about them later. But that was just bravado.

Yeah, but have you seen what a permit does to them? Talk about exit wounds.

[Deano]

Sorry to hear that Sniper.

[ManDownUnder]

Sniper - condolences to you, family and all who knew him.

Sounds like your Mum and sister will need you close by at the moment too... I can't imagine what they've gone through seeing the accident happen...

Can't do any more than this - just know we're all thinking of you at the mo.

Thanks for all the kind words and condolenses guys. I really appriciate them. I gues at this tim I just need to concentrate on getting my head down and working cause if I think too much about it, I get a wee bit angry that it happened and I couldnt be there to help him.

Sorry, enough of the sob story.

There's never enough of that particular sob story mate.

Keep talking or the anger becomes all consuming. It's called a grieving process for a reason. Keep sharing - we don't mind at all.

Sniper, only just read this thread. My condolences to you and your family in this difficult time.

[meister]

'scuse my ignorance Sniper and co, what's "binning"? and i'm not trying to be funny...

[Sutage]

binning is falling off

sorry to hear about your father

but me and ricksta just had small ones, plus we learnt from them and noone was hurt so hope it wasnt directed at us !

[The Tazman]

Ok guys, Ive had it.

Just reading about some of the newbies on the site and also chatting to a few and they all seem to think that binning is funny. Ok, well if they think injuring themselves is funny well fuck em. I know my first bin was scary as shit ans it was due to someone hitting me, not me fooling around.

A bit of common sense guys and you can avoid all those doctors bills and repair bills. I only say this out of courtesy and respect of Flyin/Sam and the greatest man I ever knew, my father!

Dad passed away on Friday on his 50th birthday. For his own birthday present he went out and bought a BMW RS100 which I got the phone call and pictures about 45mins before the crash. Dad had been riding for years and knew dangers and how to get out of the, unfortunatly kangaroo's dont share the same general knowledge and one hopped out in front of him. This was all witnessed by my mum and my 14 year old sister as the were following him into town (Alice Springs, NT, Australia). I can only imagine what they are going through.

So to all you little fuckwits out there who think binning is funny, to you I say grow a fucken brain and use it!!! Its not funny and great people get hurt and even die!

RIP Dad, I will always remember you! Thanks for teaching me how to ride and how to drive a car. Thanks for all the life skills you offered me and for raising me to be the proud rider I am today. Dad I salute you because it was you who put me in the right mindset for the army and for pushing me during my selection training to be the best. I will never forget the life you led and the great lessons you taught me. RIP Dad

Oh Shite I am sorry to hear this Sniper. I lost my dad a few years back now he was a little older at 61, it stinks. My thoughts are with you.

As for all you newbies and youngsters there is a saying that you can not put an old head on young shoulders. Untill you start listening to the more experienced riders you WILL keep injuring yourselves and dying!!!!!!

You all seem to forget that they were once your age and inside still are (well most of them) but they carry some life experiences with it!!

Start listening to them and you will have more fun!!!!!!
