    Less to do with speed, more to do with impatience and inattention (crunts with one hand on wheel, one hand on phone or scratching balls) I observe daily. Had a few cars pull out from side roads (Give ways) right in front of me ( as I ride defensively and watching for idjiots like this so avoid custard), then they either pull over realising the error or drive slowly on in ignorance as they gain momentum. Rather than don't speed, what about slow down, look, and think!

    Anyhoo don't forget to add to calendar 19th May, 27th July, and 31 August.

    You can provide references for that obviously? Otherwise you're just spouting bullshit as fact.

    My bike has ABS and it's never engaged (other than practicing emergency stopping), why, because like all safety equipment it's for an emergency. Whereas training, revision and courses help put you in a position where you're less likely you need emergency aids.

    I'd happily pay for you to do the gold course with Pete @ Dan Ornsby Motorcycle Training. If Pete reports back that's you're all that and have nothing to work on then I'll believe you're the rider that you say you are.

    I doubt you'll take me up on my offer though.

In all the times when I have come off as a result of the fault of others going to a riding school would not have helped as its them that decides the proximity and speed when they screw up. I dont care if you think having ABS encourages over confidence or not but to give you a clue as to where I read it it was from a UK or European study of car drivers who had crashed with ABS.
    LOL, still a coward then.

    Have you not considered that it is you that decides your speed ... and you decide your proximity to them ... at ALL times on the road ... ???

    No, can't do that...

    that means you're taking responsibility for yourself and thinking about what you're doing...

    Can't have any of that happening!

    As the Desiderata says, 'Avoid loud and aggressive persons for they are vexatious to the soul...'. Another one for you to look up Cassina. I'm not even charging for this education I'm giving you either - Wow!

    Saying that you've nothing to learn makes you the most dangerous element in nearly any argument. Over the years with the training I've done with the IAM, both here and in the UK, the biggest hurdle one had to overcome was admitting that you needed to keep an open mind and learn. A bit like a parachute, minds work well when opened up.

    As a group motorcyclists can sometimes be their own worst enemy because of this. Not everything is always someone else's fault - Realise this and you're well on your way to being part of the solution rather than the problem.

    I'm calling you a coward for not being able to back up the bullshit you spout.

    Coward.

In the CBD in ChCh they have lowered the speed limit by 20km/hr so if thats rolled out across the country 100km limits will become 80.
    Ummmm - youve said that people screw up when your too close to brake or swerve. How has your speed got anything to do with that you silly silly bint

    Fucktard thats in the cbd. Its probably got more to do with keeping pedestrians safe.

If you want to preach riding school training why not divert your energy to all those with a history of being at fault? They are the ones that need the schooling not those not at fault otherwise all those with an at fault history will remain in control on the road.
    Some of us know this Navy Boy, he's done his time learning additional skills. And kudos to him for keeping an open mind.

    The hollow sound coming from cassina is quite boring though, for it truly is the stuck needle on an old record. Nobody at any point has suggested taking additional training will render you bullet proof. Anticipation and situational awareness on the roads can be taught. Bit like when you see the storm clouds rolling in, you know it's going to rain. So you take action. Same on the roads, see a situation developing, do something about it. But yeah, with the cassina outlook, maybe skydiving isn't a good hobby for you? Then again...

    You sound like another road hog to ensure you always travel slow enough to brake or swerve if anything happens.
    Pray tell, how will going slower give you more time to brake or swerve. What if your going eighty instead off a hundred but the at fault motorist scews up half a second later. Same nett result surely.

    Fucktard I think that the rider training* teaches riders to be aware of potential hazards and slow down if and when required instead of just blindly ride at the limit all the time in a "it can't be my fault I am riding within the law" utopia like I assume you are in.

    * I have never done any rider training
