    you cant seriously ask anyone to believe that you cant think of any number of influencing factors when it comes to causes or outcomes of collisions?

    Stick a WRB on that corner and you have an entirely different scenario.
    The old loose stone chip and tar bleed best friends with WRB or any other type of vehicle restraint

    Well it's a start. Let's see some installed on hi motorcycle accident rate areas.
    I was thinking about linking the posts so you slide along them.

    Tar bleed sucks, but it's not unexpected most of the time.

    I don't remember ever having encountered loose chip without warning.

    I'm beginning to wonder how many bikers actually enjoy riding as much as I do. Half you cunts seem to just whinge and moan about how bad you've got it.

    Harden the fuck up, pussies.

    What about the back, what happens there, is it just wait for it to heel or what?

    How about just teaching riders to fucken ride. That'd sort out the high motorcycle accident areas.

    I would not moan and whinge if the job was done right.

    I sincerely hope the pussies don't hard up

    That would sort out a lot of those areas yes.

    still wouldn't fix the other ones, but it would help.

    Showing people that they should be more vigilant and aware of their surroundings and their own skills/choice of equipment - Improvement being the main goal.
