Definitely the cruiser, crashes are a part of finding your limits. You'd know that if you weren't such a fucking fairy. Or maybe it's just your repressed homosexuality drawing you towards the chrome and tassles??

So thats an admittance to being a homosexual?

Good call from a guy that has an avatar that looks like a wannabe Village People member - and is probably a self portrait!

[The_Dover]

Hey, don't disrespect Maurice we're just good friends. Plus he's from the mainland, he doesn't know any better.

[Deano]

Yea he beat ya Hitch but yours actually brought up the diving thing. Wich is what I thought of when I saw the lyrcs written out.

Who's a clever boy then.

This is better. Some decent shit slinging to liven up the forum.

[Waylander]

Sorry Dover but I would rather live past the age of 30, but you go ahead and crash all you want. Drive the cost of spare parts down for other peaple.

[Dafe]

Spot ya later Mikey! Thanks for being a straight up & honest KB'er!

and maybe you will come out of the closet? Crashing is not part of finding your limits, its just fucking it up. The sooner that you learn this simple rule, the longer you'll keep a bike. But you might be younger than me and I did also have to learn the hard way as a teenager.

wern't you on a straight peice of road on that last crash???

[White trash]

I'd rather ride an embarassing heap of shit, maybe even a Honda, and ride 'round the outside of some hotshot with his bike parked mangeled in some drainage ditch somewhere, than blow $23K every few months on scrap aluminium.

Finding limits is all abouts learning to feel from the feedback a machine is giving you, what's happening. Theoretically, if you know exactly what the bike's telling you, you'll know when it's on the edge and wont overstep it.

Repeated crashing is what squids and throttle jockeys with too bigger dyno charts and too smaller brains do. I know, I've been one.

White Trash hit that nail square on the head!!!

I've never commented on this topic before, I've always thought it's such a load of shit when people say they dropped their bikes learning it's limits.
Can you not feel when a tyre begins to slip or when your bike starts becoming unstable? Maybe you don't consider that a limit! Then maybe you decide to push it further.....

Bikes give an awesome feedback alright. I guess some people just aren't born to ride! Mind you, mine is a Zuki! Maybe that explains it then.

P.S. COME BACK MIKEY!!!!!
No one here has your panache for slagging off people, I love it!!! I need my crude abusive slagging fix in the mornings!

Like WT said, however you do have to wonder about the mentaility of an individual who uses the "finding the limits" to justify a crash. Yea I might ride like a nanna at times, depends on the conditions and how much I know where I'm riding. I would have thought that this would be mere common sense, but thats just my opinion. Yea I like riding faster, but how often is it safe to do so? I dont live next to a race track either...:slap:
Thinking along the lines of my sig quote, without having any common sense and concept of safety, living tends to become a problem.

Often I have felt the back wheel twitch when Im coming down a hill and knock it down a gear. I count that as a limit and use it to judge how well Im going to pull a corner off. Thats my limit seen and learnt.

Having 3 crashes on the same type of bike tells me that there doesn't seem to be much learning involved.

that would be the best couple of sentences pieced together i've read here W/T.

over the years of riding i've been involved in & the numerous number of bikes i've ridden, the art of becoming a fast rider isn't one of using the bike, its creating a harmony between the bike & the rider,feeling it, understanding the machine, & knowing the limits of the bike & rider.
becoming smooth is the key to speed, being fluid & knowing the mesages the bikes sending you, becoming one with the bike.
learning from mistakes & understanding the reason for the mistake is a key, the majority of the time its lump of the top of the shoulders that causes the mistake or accident, not the bike.

[avgas]

well that was a bit melodramatic.....and fucken confusing but Eh
Do they have bikes in Neverland Mikey?

Nice to admit you're a hypocrite then WT?

I've had one crash that was my fault since I've been riding and I can safely safe that I won't be finding that edge again!

However, I'd still rather learn the lessons than get fuckin bored.
