    If you hear the term "poor handling" then you can ignore the rest of the statement. It is a convenient but misleading term to try and group a whole lot of crash factors together.

    You, of all people, should understand the very real danger of idiots overstepping their ability on that road.
    You are right , I do.
    I still stand by what I said.

    Correct.

    Not correct, of course some have.

    I didn't say that, that would be silly.

    What I will say is many have done the loop very quickly many times at 'excessive' speeds and not had an issue.

    Others have not made it travelling at 'sensible' speeds.

    There's a lot more to it than speed alone.

    This sums it up pretty well.
    It's what makes us different to the 'normals'
    Unfortunately that road often makes for serious consequences for what is often a small mistake.

    And then there's the ones who made the mistake of tagging along on an organised ride that was clearly not designed for them.

    If you are talking about what I think you are, then you are incorrect. I'll discuss it in person with you if we ever meet, but this isn't the place to go into details.

    These days it seems brands not important really,far more important is to have grown bored with the loving wife and rugrats that grew up so do the walk hook up with some fat gutted slapper in stretch jeans and some cunts name tattoed on her fat arse, invest in a new made to look old leather jacket and 2 wheeled handbag and ride free like the hellion you always should have been.

    If everyone that exceeded the posted speed limit on "The loop" .... and kept left. The likelyhood of an accident involving another vehicle ... would be nil.

    They dont ... so the odd's say they they WILL.

    And we all hope the "other" guy(s) coming the other way will be doing it right.

    Your trust they WILL ... is a double edged sword ....

    If they do .. your worry is for nothing. If they don't ... all your skill and ability (not to mention speed) amounts to nothing.
