Maybe if you stare at it for 12 seconds.

12 seconds? can I borrow your fingers to count as I can't get my boots off.

I thought it was Nigella Lawson that had a 12 second rule. Or was it Oprah?

**bluninja** · 25th September 2011, 21:01

I thought it was less than 5 seconds on the floor and you are ok to eat it....is that 12 seconds now?

**Berries** · 25th September 2011, 21:03

Anything over 8 seconds and they are probably unconscious so go for your life.

That is the 7 second rule.

I think the 12 second rule is the one where if you finish quicker than that, you have to apologise.

I worry about that Nigella

How. What. Why – did s/he lose control?

Update 72hrs after this Original Post.

How. What. Why - did 'they' lose control?

A topic that perhaps was of interest to some but alas
I suppose human nature is like a lot of group rides, there is a tendency to stray.

Perhaps this can now be sent to 'Pointless Drivel' - Do it now and send it to PD.

Well to be fair your quandary was a bit shit. How/what/why did he/she lose control?

Who?

More imporantly why do we give a fuck? Some people around here are so busy analysing other people's riding its amazing they have any time for their own.

Thanks Buck Buck for posting something that was, I thought, of value to bikers and which was not taken as a personal attack on my riding ability.

If you are on short straights, winding roads, vehicles ahead, how the hell can anyone keep 12 seconds of visibility ahead of you? Unless you get off and push.

At 120kph, 12 sec's covers a lot of ground. ( not that I've ever gone 120kph).

**nodrog:Me** · 26th September 2011, 13:16

Can all of you cunts who are counting and doing sums while riding their motorcycles, please stay the fuck away from me.

Thanks.

The message here would be: Drive/ride to the conditions.
