Ride like this and you shouldn't live long

Of course, this is Kiwi Biker and so the fun begins. Your turn now.

No no, I'm not trolling or taking the piss, I'd genuinely like to know where in the video you think something terrible happens.

Obviously I didn't see anything worth commenting on, so we have different opinions on what constitutes dangerous (or whatever) riding.

I never said anything terrible happens but the first page of posts (up 'til caspernz) sets the general theme. Also, puddytat's initial post sums it up well.

Listen to the audio next time.

So, in other words, I'm right - there's nothing to be concerned about.

Listen to the audio next time.

Can you tell me what was on the soundtrack that was cause for concern, then?

There seems to be no one pointing out anything overly wrong with the riding, since others have said it doesn't look that bad.

The comments on the lines taken seem moot to me. Since the camera is head mounted it's hard for me to pick where the bike really is reletive to the road.

Did you actually read the posts and understand the comments? So, slowly this time: Read the posts I wrote about earlier plus listen to the audio and compare the comments to what was happening. Not taking the piss? I don't think so.

At 1.51 the rear wheel locks up and chatters (probably from downshifting a gear too low on his L twin) and he says he doesn't know if it came from the front or rear. Now that's just silly. My real gripe comes at 3.10 when he cuts the corner on a blind curve, on a busy road he claims to know well, and he meets an oncoming van. What a dick. I'm sure the van driver got a scare and this breaks one of my personal rules: don't frighten the civilians. When one of us annoys or alarms the citizenry- it has the potential to bring the heat down on all of us. Complaints are made. Police enforcement appears. Restrictive laws are created. Public sympathy for our sport diminishes. Anyone who rides that way and thinks it's cool won't be tagging along with me. Most importantly, though: the music he plays should be illegal.

I don't have any points to make.

I shall now dismiss you as irrelevant.

That's more like it! Zedder - this is the sort of commentary I was asking for.

The implication there, is that you are yourself, relevant.

There are many who would disagree I think.

What's the matter? Did I spoil your little power game?

Ah, but they are irrelevant.



She's a hard road being the center of the universe, but I seem to manage to keep it turning on schedule.

This only confirms what I thought about you.

What? You're proud of being like that? Really sad.....

Like I said, she's a hard road, but I make it work.
