Go Pros create unsafe riders

[RDJ]

Rastus OP seems oblivious to how police recording who they go after does visibly tempt them to push the envelope. Proof: your TV nightly.

I ... post ...on here. most ...find it boring as I am [ a massive douche sack that doesn't know shit and is immune to learning]

fify .

I should post a video of my riding on here sometime. The only fault that you would find with it though is I dont take specific riding school taught lines. Other than that most would find it boring as I am not doing any "pressure to keep up" sort of overtaking.

Have you got it in Super 8 video?

There is a guy on FB who says on his FB page when he will be out taking photos on the hill over to Akaroa and he aways manages to snap a few Rossi wannabes.

Has he got photo's of you?

[FJRider]

No I dont ride over there much and it would be safer to pick a day when there are no wannabe Rossis wanting to show off for the camera.

Don't worry ... you probably couldn't keep up anyway ...

He's out of that line of work now ... and he just concentrates on people that pay him to stop their stupid riding ... but a vid of your stupid riding would give us all a laugh though ...

Some of us can count higher than that. Don't judge everybody by your own skill level ...

If you could keep upright for your entire ride ... it would probably be a first. There's enough of those vids on Youtube already ...

I have an opinion.

It involves filming people and increasing hatred of motorcyclists by the general public. We all know how cyclists with cams and attitudes tend to give all cyclists a bad name.

Last thing we need is an increase in bike hating people on the road. Just saying.

Therein lies the first sign of the rampant know-it-all. If you really think your riding is so free of what you call fault please take an IAM assessment or the like and post the results. Maybe then you'll realise you don't know as much as you think you do.

Wow that guy sounds like a legend!

Absolutely right. Our cause is already marginalized by the behavior of a small part of the biking fraternity, then to make it worse by the YouTube crybabies who go out to antagonize Joe Public...oh boy.

Well Mr Barnett, I admire your ongoing positive outlook on this topic. I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment, for none of us know what we don't know. It takes an external source to enlighten us. I'll be upfront and admit that until ten or so years ago, I never gave motorcycle training for myself much thought. But once I got going, I quickly realized I had an awful lot to learn. Just a shame Cassina isn't willing to go down the route you've suggested, for you're not the first to make that suggestion...

[nzspokes]

I just said I dont take riding school lines so dont know as much as those who do according to you. It does not bother me either. I will try and post it some time but am not up with posting videos technically so my post may or may not appear.

If you had a proper assessment then the assessor could take the vid and post it.

I am not sure if you read my comment about not wanting to go to a riding school but the reason is that it would not have prevented me from having the accidents except for the very first one where i applied incorrect braking on a wet road when I was a beginner. In all the other accidents
I was in things happened too quick to even brake or swerve just like what happened to the motorcycle racer that died as he did not have time to brake or swerve either. I was attacked on here when I gave the example of his accident as having no time to brake or swerve either, to try and prove my point that shit happening accidents can happen to anyone.

Why not just tell the truth that you are too scared to, or this is a troll account.

man we've come a long way, a scooter from china could go up a hill like that now!

Had a guy on a course today wearing his Go Pro on his helmet.

He tells me he has been cut off 3 times this week, and he's sick of it, so he's got a Go Pro. Like, that'll make a difference.

Out on the course today a guy U-turned across our path. Our man could have backed off and avoided it by miles, but he insisted on riding close to the U-turner and filming it, complete with expletives.

So, from what I can see, using that Go Pro has caused him to ride like a dick.

Am I wrong?

Yeah .. they think that being right makes them bullet-proof ... but insisting on being right can lead to getting killed!
