    lols deano, you thought the biggest mouth on KB would show any sort of maturity. On the other hand kb would be boring without him. He's kind of like a troll who is not aware that he's a troll.

    What a pity that instead, you sound like a noob with an over-inflated sense of your own ability.

    But you loose a lot of credibility when you wank on the same shit at everyone, Drew is well known to be one of the better riders on KB, and I'm yet to hear anything but your own opinion of your riding.

    Much like drew I don't base much of my riding at all on the bike in front, I don't follow their braking points or lines. What I do do is look for signs of him panicking and when I see it I will back right off until I can identify what got him spooked. And i will guarantee that Drew would also take note if he saw a bike in front of him do something unexpected.

    Noticing sudden changes in their behaviour, certainly falls into the "avoiding running them over", category.

    I really think people need to relax a little here. Katman in particular as usual, you're taking what is written here to be the total of what people think and do. Rather than just making individual points and observations.


    I do not care weather or not you think I'm capable of deciding how to ride. I do understand you want bikers to take responsibility for their own safety, but you Will some day admit, that there are natural bikers, who aren't useless with little experience relative to your own.

    [QUOTE=Mushu;1130513443]Go have a look around I guarantee you will find heaps of people who claim to have ridden for decades that can't ride for shit. You can put all the stock you like in time holding a licence.

    In some of your previous posts ... you told us just how often you do ride. One post I saw ... said you weren't riding for a few months due to parts unavailability ... after you crashed your bike. Hardly a good indication of a high skill level on your part.

    I play bass.. I didnt just pick up a bass and start playing - I have mates who did.. and their bass playing skills are seriously amazing. I have a bit of natural rhythm and a ear for music. I took lessons, and spent countless hours playing. 30 years later people compliment me on my playing - I'm competent. Not a "natural" - there is stuff I just cant play, no matter how hard I try. On the other hand.. my mate Russell (throbbing love muscle - to give him his full name) can, seemingly, play anything, at a whim, with nary a lesson, or anything other than just "jammin".

    Riding bikes (engines and non engined varieties) can be learned - but there are some people who just have natural aptitude and do stuff so easily that others totally get the shits trying. Conversely, there are people who's riding is the musical equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard. Does that mean they shouldnt be allowed to ride? Some might say yes.. some might say "under controlled circumstances", and other will say "what the hell, I can put up with anything".

    One of the most important things I do riding on the road is observe the traffic in front of me, cars and bikes alike. Cars bump over crap surfaces better than we do, but always their suspension shows what is happening. Bikes even more so.

    Really? Define well known to be one of the better riders? How so? Is there a test for this? What on earth makes you want to say that, unless you are in the same camp as my husband, and are part of the Drew Fan Club
