Newbie Advice

[Flatcap]

I find the most common use of the horn for me in my commute is to warn pedestrians who appear to be about to step out from between parked cars on my left, or between queued cars on my right. In each case they are usually looking the wrong way for traffic.

Another reason for having a loud bike, I would say

Firstly, you deserved every bit of slagging you received on that other thread! A fellow rider had an accident and you were totally unsympathetic and proceeded to make him feel terrible by telling him what he did was wrong!!



Easy, that would be to be very careful who's advice you take when it comes to motorcycling, because there are a lot of know-it-alls out there offering BAD advice!

Well so what. I bet he knows what I said as against anything advice you offered...............on anything.

Just when I thought you couldn't say anything more stupid, here you go again.

How exactly could that have helped Momentum in his bin? Please explain at what point the horn would have saved him from over shooting the corner.

Any more bright ideas?

Not for you since the lights are out.

FWIW, I wouldn't say that the horn is the NUMBER ONE thing for a newbie to know about. But I don't think that's what Mr Skyryder said. He said he'd give ONE tip - not necessarily the most important.

Right on the button if you will excuse the pun.

But I do have self discipline. Neve red reped you ever and all my comments to you have been out in the open unlike yourself and some others.

Love and kisses as usual

In every situation i have encounted which required evasive actions, the number one thing I did was ensuring I had a clear mind. Me and the Road, nothing else.

If in one instance I was thinking about what sexy dress I should wear for my date with Boomer, then I'd be fucked!

[boomer]

oi!!!! no....!!!! If i were to see you down the pub...i'd say

NO!!!!

and whats this "bike:boomer" business... why am i afraid

[SwanTiger]

Hahaha, I was wondering when I would get a few words from you about my chosen bike. I quite enjoy riding my booo wooo wooo mer.

I was going to call my bike Boomer, but I'm not sure anymore, I watched that 'Seabiscut' movie last night and that little retarded horse just had a heart to barbeque. Might have to name my little Suzuki A100 after him.

I saw your face when I turned up on my sexy Hyosung

I can give her a rim job in front of you, if you like.

When I courierd I never used the horn. Instead I carryed around spark plugs in my jacket pocket that were easy to get to. In case somebody pulled out infront of me I avoided them and proceded to air mail a spark plug to their front windscreen.
