The only thing you passed all weekend was wind.

Get a bike you girl - one with fur would suit you.

Take note everyone - frosty works for records.
Paint my house for 'Hot August Night' and a few Lou Reed singles?

...because it's a RACETRACK, NOT A PUBLIC ROAD, and other riders are prepared for and expect underpassing manouevers, and whatever other racing tactics are required to get one place ahead/get the best line into and through a corner.....right?

Well I only ride with knee out as I feel more in control/comfartable I know its all in the mind but thats just me. Thats what make me feel in "control" (You never the boss of the bike its always your boss)

PS Im not ranting just pointing out that some of us dont ride "racing" style because it looks "cool" (Bit of tui add) its how we feel comfartable on the bike.

...and here's me thinking you do the "knee-out" thing because your massive endowment keeps getting in the way

SO WHY TURN UP RIDEIN LIKE SLOW ROSSI`S

BEFORE WE LEFT EVERYONE WAS TOLD IM LEADIN
JUZZA AT THE BACK WILL BE TAKIN IN EASY AS WE HAD NEW RIDER`S IN THE GROUP AND I HAVE I HAD FUCKIN BAD HANGE OVER
WE WILL STOP OFTEN SO NO ONE WILL GET LOST !!!!
THESE ARE THIS RIDES RULE`S YOU HAVE NO REASON OR EXCUSE NOT TO A BIDE BY THEN IN SAFTEY OF THE OTHER RIDER`S ( OR WERE YOU JUST WANTIN TO PASS ME )
IF YOU HAD STOPPED AT THE NEXT STOP I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU TO FUCK OFF !!! ANYWAY`S

THERES A TIME AND PLACE FOR EVERYTHING AND IM HAPPY TO PULL OVER AND LET PEOPLE GO AHEAD BUT THIS WASNT THE PLACE

Ah, I was wondering if there was a tail end guy. I joined at Kopu and didn't realize that there was one, but he was the guy with the flat who turned back!! I thought the old guy on the blue Suzuki was tail ender - until he passed me.

I read easy paced ride as most will be following the leader but if you pass him then you're on your own and good luck to ya.

Indeed. Even at 50kph you'll find me moving side to side and letting my inside knee hang out. It just feels wrong to sit still. Other people don't move around at all no matter how fast/hard they're going. I dunno how they do it, but I can't.

Nothing wrong with feeling more in control of your bike, but does the person you are passing really close to/undertaking/some other race move know that you are in control? Does he/she/it feel comfortable with what you are doing just a few feet away?

Can't say I'd ever feel totaly comfortable with anything you do a couple of feet away.....

Don't know what you're worried about. Never in my life will I be fast enough (read crazy) to keep up with you, even more so when you're wearing your lipstick.

Hey go easy on the "OLD" bit......I just so happen to feel young!

**bugjuice** · 13th December 2005, 09:46

looks like I'll be doing lots of rides on me own then!
If you're in the way, you will be passed. But it will be done safely, else it won't happen. period. My knee goes out, cos that's how I feel safe and ride. I ride at my pace. If it's faster than someone else, get over it. If it's slower than someone else, then bully for you. Now, what's wrong with that logic? got a problem with that, then just tell me, and we'll work it out. End of the day, people have different skills and abilities. To mix them up can create friction cos there's the good ol' SCS. So just pick more carefully who you go on rides with.
