    General bitch (oops, I mean discussion) about bikers thread

    We're all familiar with Katman's message (your safety is in YOUR hands)
    We're all familiar with the rants about how MAG, Bronz et al aren't doing what you want.

    Stop making excuses for your own failings.
    FFS, is it so hard to understand?

    Bring it on...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    My thoughts exactly - which is why I rarely peep into those threads.

    I also think that a lot of the people who happily gloss over the idea of accountability in someone's accident by parroting the old "really sorry to hear about your off but at least you're ok" are simply trying to ensure an easier reception in the event of themselves having an accident.

    We need to develop an attitude of intolerance towards avoidable accidents.

    kicking people when they are down has never been considered good form, however not admitting and therefore not learning from yours and others mistakes is also bad form.
    "really sorry to hear about your off but at least you're ok" isn't meant to be a get out of jail free card. It starts and stops at those words. Discussion on the off can then follow, sorry delete off insert crash and note that even I avoid the word accident.

    Next time, you should spin that bitch right up with a good dose of opposite lock and skid it out. That's called learning from your mistakes........

    I went to see a great concert on friday night. I'm a bit of a fanboy so I doubt that the Blind Boys of Alabama (with Aaron neville) or Mavis Staples could have disappointed me if they had tried.

    I had a good time - despite the audience of very well dressed wellingtonians all looking each other up and down and sniifng at my jeans... or the stupid fat loud mouthed young heffier that managed to spill half a glass of crap wine down my back right at the start cos her and her moron friends couldnt be polite enough to be in their seats punctually....

    So I adopt a similar approach to my motorcycling these days - I enjoy it in splendid isolation and try to avoid contention. I'll leave that to serious motorcyclists - I'm too busy having my own fun and I dont want to know what I'm doing wrong....

    I hate to disappoint you Paul, but you probably fall outside the category of riders who seem to make a habit of having avoidable accidents.
