    Yep, I feel I know what to do, just don't do enough ridin to make it consistant.
    I am not saying I don't know what I am doing I am just saying I don't do enough riding to make sure it happens.
    Its a comment on my own lack of riding skills

    Quite happy for you to point me in the right direction if you feel I am wrong.

    How the fuck would I know if you can ride? I've never seen you do it.

    Just poke fun at the fuckwits.
    The OP is still a bit of a cunt though. Has come a long way it must be said.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    It's like poking fun at a dribbling spastic with a lot if the clowns around here these days, a bit boring after the first couple of minutes.

    That's true. I doubt you ever will.

    But you can see my comments, feel free to correct me anytime.

    Wink A rider's life

    I remember my first bike arriving on a cold rainy night, not having the confidence to ride it in the rain I waited for a few days for some clear weather. I remember getting over-taken by a scooter and my first conversation with another rider in a car park about our bikes. My memory of my first close call and how shaken I was, but not deterred.

    I fondly recall all the advice I was given, some good, some bad, but all with good intentions. I learnt the importance of learning to take corners safely. When you don't know what's around that bend it is super important that you keep to a safe line and stay on your side of the road (regardless of what that little sign says!)

    The experience of growing and improving as a rider is something I still enjoy, and road-craft is an elusive thing to master. Even as we look back on when we started riding and think about how much better we are now, there is always someone better. They show us we can always be better.

    Ride smart.

    Never said I was.

    if you see me post something that is obviously wrong then I expect you (or anyone else) to point it out.

    I don't think I know everything by a long stretch of the imagination.

    I am on here to look, learn, listen and make comments about bikes and riding. Surely you are too.

    Never seen you ride either.

    I'm not saying anyone can or can't ride well. The point is that all the typing is fucken moot. Arguing about it just an attention grab.

    Sounds like you need a car before you hurt yourself.

    That could be said of any novice. It's just part of the process.
