crazy speeds

Hmmmm, nelsonite

Mate going fast around corners is just as dangerous as riding fast on a straight.

As someone has already pointed out riding at 30kph can be dangerous.

The faster you go the less time you have to avoid and stop, there isnt some magical speed that makes you an unsafe rider. 50kph provides less time than riding at 20kph.

So stop bagging riders you dont know and havent ridden with.

as soon as you hop on a motor cycle you are in a dangerous position , but while a crash at 30ks will hurt could even possibly kill you if you were real unlucky a crash at 230 is nearly always going to be worse
its about limiting the risk to your self and others , a 230kmph projectile of metal and fairings can cut a car in half ,
if you had the choice of crashing into a lampost at 200ks or 30ks , they are both gunna hurt , but which would you choose
there just seems to be a few individuals who think they are so good nothing will happen to them , no matter how much stupid shiy they do

Well I know crashing into a lamp post at 200km will hurt a lot less than doing it at 30

Yup, right on the button NSRP.

You are so self righteous, you think that because you "limit" yourself to under 200 kph on straights your better than the guy that hits 230 on a straight, pull you head in mate, you travelling at 140 is still enough to maim, kill. If you dont stick to the speed limit yourself then you can really bag others for speeding now can you.



I dont quite figure where your under 200kph is ok deal comes from.

NSRPaul Great to see another NEWBE / Track Racer / Traffic warden putting your 2 cents worth in . Just for the record . You say you own a GSXR1000 & you've never speeded on it ?? . As posted my riding speaks for its self . Some don't like it others love it . If you say I'm slow /cann't ride OK your Right & you can get some Green Reps for telling everyone else

[QUOTE=Kickaha]Nothing to prove? sounds more like you mean you're not up to a new challenge,get a bucket so we can kick your arse

The person to beat? you're only riding on the road,that's not even close to real racing

Up for most things Kickaha . Kick my Arse ?? . Hardly fair NSRPaul has seen me ride remember so You'll know how good I am ! . Road not close to Race track Sorry but Don't beleive that , have been on tracks before Excellent fun knowing that theres nothing coming the other way or cats / birds etc could run out or fly into ya . . Will just let the Newbe have his Ten minutes of Fame then well all move on Cheers Warwick

NSR you sure have picked a contrevercial subject as your first major posting on KB.
Welcolm to the forum dude.
My opiniion -Heck Life itself is a dangerous thing.
This has been well and truely thrashed out so many times its kinda got boring.
Have I ridden over the speed limit -Hey I aint a saint -yep I have and I've enjoyed it. Do I encourage inexperienced riders to exheed their riding ability (on the road) NOPE
Thats what track days are for--HINT HINT
Life isn't a place of apsolutes I've discovered its more a case of varying degrees of risk.
The secret I think is the ability to know the risk and ensure that the risk is minimised.
Wrong place 30km/h is frigging dangerous -another place time 200km/h and faster is relatively safe.
Sorrry for the boring waffle --My point really is speed does NOT kill It really is the sudden -unexpected stop that does. Avoidint that stop is really what rider safety is all about.

NOT JUST LUCK ITS MY FIJIAN BONES SOME PEOPLE CRASH WELL OTHERS DONT SOME PEOPLE GO INTO SHOCK I DONT FOR ME A CRASH IS LIKE A WALK IN THE PARK

Just keep away from my park, crash test dummy!!

the track is super diferent to the road , ask joey dunolp ( bit late now tho ) , he was one of the greatest road racers of all time , on closed roads that are a shitload better than ours and he could not work out how track racers went so fast
in my experrience fast road riders who think the road is the same as the track not only are the ones who feel the need to prove themselves the big man , they steer clear of the track cause when they get there they lose and their ego can't take it

make it 15 min of fame please

[FROSTY:Me]

I'd throw that back atcha and say that fast track riders tend not to be so fast on the road.
Not that I'd know you understand -just some KB racer sorta told me summat --mumbles into his beeer

[avgas]

Im not fast, honestly officer........
I just like a blast every now and then.......i actually took a few years off the speed scene and bought a GB400 went from 5 demerit points left to a clean licence...has been that way since

[2_SL0]

You can actually. I rode a horse into a horse being ridden by Mrs Ixion. Neither the horses nor Mrs Ixion were amused.

LMAO,

Try telling that to Lance Lowe, John Fallwell and squid.......
