Do you three old cunts accept though, that BIKE CONTROL IS AS IMPORTANT AS SITUATIONAL AWARENESS? Hmmmmm?

Change the fucking record.

Ohh, a car is where it should not be. I have seen it with lots of time to react, if only I knew how my bike reacts to different inputs.

Two sides to the argument. Listen to the other, before you repeat your side a hundredth cunting time!


FUCK. I really felt there would be more swearing, but after a quick read through I think that last one was missing.

If you BOTHERED to read posts before going into one of you dumbarsed cum filled tirades Drew,,, you'll have NOTICED in my post i stated the UK Police are taught MACHINE SKILLS at the same time as ROADCRAFT............the point being made IS.............track days do NOT teach you how to read the fucking road situations, OR teach you threat vectoring/assessment.
You NEED both.........track days do not teach both, but so many of the young dumbarses on here think track days are the fucken PANACEA to fix everything........... end of the old fuckers rant!!
now, as YOU were, sonny..... I'm still waiting for you to fetch my farkin Pipe and slippers

*Wanders off to change His depends muttering about young upstarts who have no farkin respect for us crotchety old fuckers...........*

Fuck - who stuck a hair up your arse ????

Yeah ... of course bike control is as important as situational awareness ... I had a great time and learnt a lot running my 650 round Hampton Downs during a training day ... at a much lower speed on the open road my confidence was/is much higher than it was before I did the track training day ... despite the fact that I had been riding for more than 30 years when I did the training day ... I have much better control of the bike/s now ...

The point I was trying, in my obviously subtle and obscure way, was that not matter how long I've been riding I can still fuck it up ...

So... how about that local sporting team? And what is up with politicians, amIright?

Thats where the talk of a track day came from, not the first post.

Ok, sorry for confusing people.

The thing I went to on sunday was a training day that just happened to be on the track. I learnt alot about how my bike handles but don't get me wrong, I am fully aware that there are certain things that you can only learn on the road. And there are things that you can only learn with time and practice.

I mentioned maybe doing a track day at Hampton because I enjoyed riding around Taupo (once I got over the initial nerves), and also because I found it rather helpfull to be able to do the same corners over and over, trying different things to see what works and what doesn't. There is no right or wrong way, just what feels comfortable, safe and easy for me on my bike. If I stuffed up a corner, I would just try something different next time around.

Personally, I think that learning how your bike handles is much better on a track rather than in a carpark due to being able to go at road speeds. And I think a track is better than on the road for the simple fact that you are much less likely to cause an accident and possibly injure or kill yourself or someone else.
