I had a bit of sympathy in the beginning, not so much now. Maybe a 100% balls out on an unfamiliar track wasn´t such a good idea after all, you didn´t catch a glimpse of that bike in your peripheral vision? There is a reason you tape up lights and wear full leathers on the track. If people start suing each other left right and centre over trackdays there won´t be any trackdays.
I love the smell of twin V16's in the morning..
Valentino Rossi hasn't destroyed anyone's motorcycle on a low key traing day that is obviously aimed at increasing road skills rather than pushing as hard as posible.
I fully intend to enter clubmans racing in the next three years. I will not bitch if someone hits me. Being hit on a commercially run training day simply isn't the same thing! I just can't see why this so hard to understand, this is a fucking BHS at higher speed.
The only way that a training day on a track is any different is if somehow they are reserved for the elite and those plebs how don't already know how to ride should just stay the fuck off them. I don't think that's the intention, I don't think the OP deserves a ribbing.
I struggle to see what your point is here. For what purpose did he tape his lights and mirrors up? Should he have been dwadling and looking behind him for faster riders?
Highlight your concerns and I'll do my best to address them.
Do you suppose that Valetino Rossi rides exclusive on training days amongst those who could could'nt keep his exhaust plume in sight? I don't think he does so I think that the concerns that are relevant to this thread are ones that have anything to do with him.
I can't believe that crashes occur on training days. I mean WTF?
The riders should know how to control their bikes in these sorts of situations before they get on the track with other riders on a rider training day FFS.What are these rider training people thinking?
Political correctness: a doctrine which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd from the clean end.
Ever so occassionallly. Would you like to argue with me or would you rather make vague statements that have airs of diminishing what I've said?Originally Posted by flyingcrocodile46
Bollocks. The OP was in the fast group (a.k.a. the wannabe racers group) 250 odd clicks on Pukekohe back straight isn't going to improve your road skills.
Nope. This is a TRACKDAY. Read my earlier post.
Bzzzt. Wrong. A training day on the road or publically accessible place has to adhere to the road rules.
And I'm sure it wasn't the other guy's intention to knock him off. The OP didn't deserve to get knocked off. That said:
Anyone who goes out in the fast (or medium) group on a motorcycle trackday believing that it's safer than a trip to Woolworths is delusional.
Anyone participating in ANY sport seeking damages against other participants for accidental damage is also delusional.
Consider your logic. Because you're saying that I'd need 3rd party insurance to play soccer, rugby, netball, tennis, horseriding, cycling or any number of other sports. Don't confuse this with emotion or right or wrong. I'm currently in pain and struggling to work (and sleep) due to another soccer player. Should I expect him to pay my medical bills and loss of earnings? No.
I seriously hope AMCC DO NOT give out the other guy's name without some form of legal order being issued. Otherwise I'll be attending trackdays with a false name.
Again, read my earlier post. If you don't want to get hurt in a sport....don't play it. If you don't want to lose money from playing a sport, insure yourself. Personal responsibility is accepting that sometimes other people do stupid things and that shit happens.

I have read your quote,
Listen to my words. I. Think. That. Being. Hit. By. Some. Cunt. On. A. Training. Day. Is. A. Bit. Rough.
Is this specific view point so outrageously out of line with what you understand to be portrayed to the vast maority of new road riders who hope to better themselves after getting a bike and coming on here?
On the road, I have significant means for recourse should I think that another rider has wronged me, it seems I don't on the track.
And I'm sure it wasn't the other guy's intention to knock him off. The OP didn't deserve to get knocked off. That said:
So the average rider has simply no place on the track and he should keep it clear for you to race on?
You consider my logic, I'm not playing a fucking sport when I attend a trackday! I FULLY EXPECT IN THE FUTURE TO PARTICIPATE IN CLUBMANS RACING, it may well be the case that you rub me in passing, I'll walk up to you after and slap you with the beer I'm handing you. None of this means that I think it's ok for you to knock my old man off the track because he wants to give it a go.

She knows the dangers of riding a bike and has chosen to live with the consequenses. Thats what a grown up person does. Not got on public forum and winge about it...and then winge some more that people gave their vies when asked for them.
You'd probably sue BMW if you think that their motorbike seats gave you an erection...
You. Have. Not. Done. One. Of. Those.
So you have no idea what you are talking about.
Group 1 and 2 usually get the most tuition and basics,
group 3 gets supervised.
Group 4 - advanced/racer practice
Every time there are people in group 3 on gsxr750, hayabusas, blackbirds and so on, that have signed up in that particular group purely because they think they are hot stuff. And they are NOT. Sux to be back on earth from cloud 9 if you drop your bike, but it is reality. There are risks. People accept them and move on.
