Really?

Ever been to a riding school?

The sooner you start taking your medication again, the better.

What are they:

I must admit to a bit of tongue in cheek humor:

First Cassina! I guess that english is not your first language?

Cassina, from the Latin castrum meaning "camp", indicating a farmhouse which was inhabited by more than one family.

Cassina Name Meaning. You are cheerful and friendly, but are apt to have an emotional life. You like to have several lines of effort going at once. You are a good talker and promoter and seldom worry over anything. At times, you can be impatient, and impulsive.

Lets address non specific training in general:

On the cover of my old Flight Safety QRH, is a famous Flight Safety Quote:

"The best safety device in any aeroplane is a well trained Crew":

Training! It can not ever cover anyone, for every event.

What good training does,and is the object for one to take home after is this:

Good training with and upon experience, "GIVES YOU OPTIONS", it lets you make educated best choice in bad situations, in aviation we use the term 'Airmanship" and after all these years I still can not explain what exactly Airmanship is!

Motorcycle training I view in exactly the same manner, it will not ever cover you for every event, it will however make you smarter, it will make you more aware of just what may happen and can happen.

With this awareness, applied in the right way, together with the right understanding and logic, it will if you are open to critique, allow you to become a better rider, with this understanding in your back pocket! you will become a better rider, better with new skills applied, and better with a better mind set, and approach to your riding together with an understanding of the operating risk surrounding you, and your possible affect on other road users.

Now! I once (aged 19) had a CB750/4, (piece of shit) and I saw a lady coming out of her drive in her orange Morris 1100, I made eye contact with her, & her with me, I accelerated, she accelerated, we met in the middle!

It worries me (to a lesser amount) that either you do not really ride and this site is your time and energy focus, (thats okay) or you are just deliberately having a piss take on a constant watch, (thats okay).

Or (to a larger degree) a motorcycle road user with the mind set you have, if this is the case? then you are indeed,"BArking MAd".

Wow. Amazing straw edifice you gots there.

The sooner you start taking your medication again, the better.

But the other question is; halve the dose, or double the dose?

A few nights ago on the program, A cop down south is going after two speeding vehicles.

What I saw gives me concern at their very lacking level of training:

I say this because how many times have we seen accidents with motorcycles when police car does a Uturn to give chase:

Most recently just before Christmas, old mate got cleaned up by a Police woman coming towards him, she being target fixated on the speeding boy racer, not seeing the on coming motorcycle she does a abrupt Uturn and cleans old mate up, he is still recovering.

Now back to the road Cops episode, what you see is "He looks in his mirror, his chin/head, does not go to his shoulder" he does an abrupt Uturn on a major road, he is and you can see it, he is target fixated! he did not check his/ or allow for his blind spot:

They can and do "Kill us", they need to re address their driver chase protocols and training, the evidence is against them:

it wouldn't be unnecessary as such. it would benefit the species (human and canine

)

You have two ears and one mouth. Start using your senses appropriately.

or more fully, two eyes, two ears and one mouth (though with southland imbreeding and apparent retardation that's moot)
so you should look and listen four times as much as you speak.

(and i'd say mouth and rectum are interchangeable, given the shit that comes out...)

And removing any doubt I may have had.

I do confirm you to be indeed, BArking MAd.

You need either a good

As for splitting hairs all I have done is raise a very big issue on the fact what they teach in riding school is limited to only situations where a rider has full control. That is maybe an inconveniant truth to you and some others on here.

straight over the top of your head. because you're a fuckwit.

I just can not hold out, they say its the best medicine ,
