Attitude Change

[FROSTY:Me]

or how to get her knee down round a blind corner overtaking a car

[Paul in NZ]

I'm glad that for once I managed to work my issue correctly and didn't confuse a lot of people... .

Nope - I'm still confused... But thats pretty normal.. But then I'm not a lot of people so you are probably still OK...

All I did when Sam gave me all the details, was put myself in her shoes and thought "well if that was me... I would've told them all where to shove it and never ride with them again"

Meh! Gunna happen sooner or later - she will go off and form her own gang and in a few years be tell'in everyone what to do, it's a law or an old charter or something...

our clicky little group of bikers, .

(adopts angry Homer voice) Curse you lousy aucklanders and your damn clicky ways. I tell you I'm gunna....

Mind you.... Thats pretty funny as without insulting your OR hijecking this thread most gay people I've met ate pretty clicky.... (probably for good reason) But those lesbians are the worst - clicky chickies... (boom tish) (I got a million of em folks)

I just hope that we havn't put off this particular rider from riding with us.

didn't put me off...

Now.. Tell her from me what she needs is a big old Moto Guzzi.... Stop messing about with those poxy jap things

lol there was a moto guzzi on the ride!! where were you with yours?

*doesn't know anything about moto guzzis*

White Trash: lol I still need to learn to do a mono... just worried about doing it wrong and damaging my forks (heard that can happen...). I've kinda done one... but by mistake... and I doubt my front wheel got more than 10cm off the ground lol so I don't think it counts...

[WINJA]

Exactly... I want a 600 next, and people say to me "no get a 400 next and work your way up", a lot of bikers ride bikes they can't handle... and so we shouldn't be judging them but helping them... another dead biker is a black mark in our book... partly bad riding... party no support in being a better rider...

I know a mentor thing was kind of started... but I don't see the harm in experienced riders helping out the non-experienced riders... for example... me jumping on a 636... no doubt I wouldn't be able to handle it (not at this stage anyway)... but instead of giving me shit... why doesn't another more experienced 636 rider come to me and say "look I ride a 636, lets for a slow ride, and see how you ride" and the 636 rider can follow me, note my riding style and then give comments and lead for a while so I can lean the right lines and how to handle my new bike...

But I've just noticed the attitude sometimes really sucks...

JUST GET THE FUCKEN THOU

JUST GET THE FUCKEN THOU

That girl did ride a CBR1100XX for part of the ride WINJA.

Don't have the patience to read the whole thread... but would like to highlight something here for those who either don't know it or haven't picked up on it.

This girl has one helluva big thing going for her: She has a sensible, responsible dad who is an active biker; from the few times I've met them I can see that he knows a thing or two about good parenting.

So I think she will receive wise advice or maybe even restrictions if she choses to do something that may not be in her best interest.

As for the big debate about don't buy a big bike too soon - doesn't it all depend on the rider?? A hoon will be unsafe on even a street magic.

I can't believe nobody's said it yet.
GIRLS SHOULDN'T HAVE BIG BIKES 'COS THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO RIDE THEM PROPERLY AND IT'S FAR TOO DANGEROUS LOVE.
There. Clear enough?

The fact that I ride my GSXR750 at about 50% of it's capability, and I'm still comming to terms with my RGV250 didn't stop me. Nobody put me off, or talked me out of it either.
Why? 'Cos as a bloke it's ok.
The probable fact that lots of people on sports bikes (and cars) use them to a sililar level doesn't deny them the enjoyment of riding something awesome... but for some reason a different set of rules come into play.. Can't explain it, chocolate fish for the first that does.
It's plain and simple sexism, in a nice caring way. Also known by the term condescending...

[mikey]

Does that mean I'm a real person? I feel so proud.

No you're a teenage mutant skinny-arse turtle.

Oh, well atleast I'm a young again. Good to be a teenager.

[Big Dave]

I don't use smilies to make points so I'm used to wearing the results.

Get over yourself. They can add a certain efficiency.

[SPman]

Well I bought a thou and I cant ride for shit and do I give a toss????

[El Dopa]

And if someone said that to me, my reply would be "GET FUCKED". I can be so eloquent!!

Saw a bit of this conversation. Looked to me like the girl in question could more than hold her own. And good on her.

'Get fucked' didn't actually come out of her mouth, but if there had been a visible thought bubble over her head.....
