Orange Street Triple R on Akaroa Highway? (2 January)

[Big Dave]

On the new ones the blobs on the bodywork touch down long before the footpegs.

And after 39 pages of discussion you still dont get it ????? It was you calling his riding safe as well as being fast. Nothing to do with him or his speed at all but as I said there is no such thing as being fast and safe. Would you have still called him safe if you had seen him crash at the speed he was going???????

Oh Fuck, here we go again....

Minions bring me my Popcorn! This will take a while

That...that...muppet. How dare he. Only one thing to do now, you should take it international.

Incredible how all I said was:

Orange Street Triple R on Akaroa Highway today, with a Ventura pack - if this was you, take a bow for your superb textbook cornering technique. I'm guessing you are either; an old biker with years of experience, a racer, a ex pat POM with Roadcraft experience, an instructor or an ex biker cop. You were smooth, fast and safe. Bloody impressive! Was hoping you'd stop in Little River for a chat, maybe next time!

and it generates 39 pages of discussion. Imagine if I called him a cunt!

You must be new here... insulted him and most would probably have agreed.

Bored? You had to stoke the fire didn't you

Extra salty on the way

NO.. YOU DON'T, Clearly......

Did you think for one pea picking minute in that narrow channel between your ears that Muppet might, just might have been referring to his REACTIONS?
Could have been refering to his fast turning of the Motorcycle.....
Turning the bars fast has nothing to do with road speed....

Now go and talk to Dan about a riding course. You clearly need lessons...

Im sick of our poor mental health system,HE IS FUCKING OUT AGAIN!!!

[blackdog]

I guess it will take a crash before you guys get it that in going fast there is a safety trade off. Go and have a look at the Track Day crash forum if you dont believe me.

Is there a whole Forum for the Track Day crash now???
Forums for EVERYTHING.... Heck.


No YOU don't get it....
You can poodle around with your SLOW reactions, SLOW steering your bike slowley annoying all the traffic behind you...
Just tell me when you are out and I will be at home.... or the Race Track (eith racing or coaching, or another duty to enable people to ENJOY their motorcycle)...


Oh, and thay are called THREADS!

[TheDemonLord]

The funniest thing is - Cassina has a Hypothetical point (really badly made)

Everything has a safety trade off, riding faster is a safety trade off. Choosing to ride a bike instead of driving an M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank is a Safety Trade off, getting up in the morning is a Safety trade off. Etc. Ad Nauseum

but without witnessing the riding - fast is subjective and thus any debate about whether the riding was unsafe or not is pointless (nothing to back up either side)

[Pickle]

Just another dickhead that believes that speed is dangerous- ok question what speed is dangerous??, because in the original post the speed the speed triple was travelling was never mentioned so really this whole thread 39 pages is pointless

If you called him a cunt, this would all be over within the first page...cassina would have agreed with you. 40 pages is a good effort though, even by KB standards. I keep forgetting I have double the posts per page as normal. I was wondering were you got your '39' from when mine only shows 20.

Clearly you haven't ridden a Orange Striple. I shall educate you. They have a special mode. There is a special 'field' around them that means it is impossible to get injured and damage the bike when it is activated by certain riders. Any rider will have minor protection, but certain riders can activate, what is known as the Caoutchouc Mode. This effectively means you will bounce of anything, resulting in the rider being the SAFEST rider in the universe.

Prove me wrong. Go on. Use any science you want. Prove that this rider and bike does not have the Caoutchouc Mode. Until that day, they were the safest rider in the universe. Case closed.
