It's ok, I think he's gone for a short ride. He won't be back for aaaages.

Does anyone know where she/he lives? Be fucking hilarious to go a take the first digit off the signs in that area and watch a certain CB750 wobble around at 5kmhr

Acording to his profile he lives in Christchurch. Not sure which Christchurch - as in which planet?

Well, it is my understanding Christchurch is a very complex place with many, many corners; both speed marked and unmarked. Now we might be able to narrow the area down a bit by overlaying speed marked vs unmarked corner densities, or perhaps examining traffic flow dynamics vs her online times... but there would of course be a margin of error in either of those attempts

you forgot to factor in the shakey earth factor, the reason that some corners are not marked is we are not sure if they will be there tomorrow, I gave up using my navman ages ago.

Wow, what a thread.... Filled in an hour on a windy day...

So... Who is going to tell her what Muppet was doing at Ohakea before getting on the back of a bike and heading towards Wellington? And the rider (instructor) who put him in so much "danger"....
Na, leave it, this is funny as heck.... Hell, I must be bored...

Will say something though, advanced road based riding courses do not instruct you to ride around corners faster.
What they teach is the skills to ride around them using more awareness and skill. The upshot of this means sometimes you can increase the speed compared to your previous skill level.
I might be slightly biased but I reckon we should all at least try an advanced course to improve skill.
The instructors can teach more advanced stuff if you are at such a level... Yes, even if you have driven trucks for years.

Don't need to,I'm a typical NZ motorcyclist and already know it all, there's nothing they can teach me

[dangerous]

If you now think he was so good how come you had any fear of him crashing? A responsible rider would never ride in such a way as to create a fear of crashing in their pillion

FUCK SAKES MAN... LOL, ummmm if you put me on the back of Rossi's bike as one of the worlds BEST riders... Id be BLOODY SHITTING MESELF

Don't need to,I'm a typical NZ motorcyclist and already know it all, there's nothing they can teach me

bike maintance?

FUCK SAKES MAN...

'Man' Really? I thought with a name like Cassina the poster is a chick, tart, broad, erm person of the female persuasion...

This rider was supposed to be a cautious IAMS rider though a big difference or are they all as I suspected wannabe racers

...you are now becoming a total fuckwit that doesn't know when to shut up...and without hanging out on a limb...a totally boring fuckwit that doesn't know when to shut up...girls genes with spiky hair?...

[Madness]

That is something you have made up all by yourself. Fuck this, time for reds.

We should all be dead the way these IAMs guys think eh. Maybe thats why the Govt does not fund IAMs training as they know the guys
have an attitude they are better riders than everyone else because only 10% of riders pass their courses.

Unlike the guys here talking about IAM you're actually coming across as a total cock

You generally find those taking extra training are not arrogant pricks who think they know it all, it's kind of why they go for the training. And the top 10 percentile are by definition better than the rest of us, why should they think otherwise?

[ellipsis]

...10% of recreational fishermen catch 90% of the total recreational catch...the rest of us just love fishing...the 10% that catch those fish are really fucking serious about it... the other 80% only wish they were that good...

Ironically tho, as the cat says, those that voluntarily seek extra training are less likely to need it than the know it alls... kind of frustrating, and I can't think of an easy solution either...

It's not really about being better than someone else, it's more about being the best I can be at what I'm doing (if you're going to do something, do it well). Also found that as I had more time in the seat, the more newbies looked to me for advice, and the last thing I wanted to do was give them the wrong advice...
