lol no the first night i ever got a bike i crashed it bigtime and ended up in hospital for the night. no reg no wof and no licence but i got diversion of a 100 donaton to charity i think the cops were just pleased tht i told the truth about everything and complied with everything they told me to do

then got pulled up cause my reg and wof were displayed on the front and not on the back had no licence then but got 28 days ta get it cus i had it already booked

so i had a bit of time on my bike but no never for the way i ride except for tht crash which my first time anyway which is all part of learning bikes isnt it

cops seem good if you respect them which i always do like on the night of the ball i parked my bike striaght away...i was only "saying" thts all its a really funny line in tht moive lol

Can some one please translate, either I'm losing my grasp of the english language or the youth of today are sliding back to caveman talk

Translation: I think he's saying you can't really say what you have for sure because you weren't there at the time to witness what he did, but that aside he is saying if you're (as in himself) being a dumbass accidents will happen. Then even when you are riding well someone else might hit you and cause an accident. Then throughout this thread the discussion has been about him being young and stupid, which he agrees with and thinks is funny (hence the lol), but luckily he believes he will learn from his mistakes (the reference to monkeys learning).

My comment: Now I am sure you were all young once and pushed the envelope. We did crazy things on pushbikes when I was young with no protective gear at all - it hadn't even come into peoples thinking to wear helmets on pushbikes. Early motorbike racing had some pretty dodgy gear too with helmets a bit like flying helmets with googles - more to keep the wind out of the riders eyes and keep them warm. Then even in the 60's the pudding basin helmet was the go before jet helmets came to cover the temples let alone full face helmets to protect the face and chin.

I rode trials for about 5 years long before helmets were brought to that form of competition. Few got hurt - I can remember seeing Denill clout his head on an overhanging tree once but he bounced off OK at the slow speed. We wore woolly hats or peaked caps.

Slowly but surely protective gear has got better and I wear more than I used to. I got my XL175 in December '73 and here's a pic early Jan '74 still running the engine in - heat of Hawkes Bay sun racing around at the river - wear much? No not at all. Any hassles? Other than sunburn - no!

I didn't own a full face helmet until I had been riding 25 years and bought the VFR and then it was more about protection from the wind than worrying about crashing.

All forms of competition has got more extreme making the risks greater so mitigation through better gear isn't a bad idea. On the road - or riding to the school ball - is that also the case?

I once read something somewhere about a chimpanzee typing King Lear. I think that eventuality is still some way away. Or further, if the demonstrated Darwinism is any indicator.

Ah speeling.

Whan Phebus in the Crabbe had nere hys cours ronne
And toward the leon his iourne gan take,
To loke on Pictagoras speere I had begonne,
Syttyng all solytary alone besyde a lake,
Musyng on a maner how that I myght make
Reason & Sensualyte in oon to acorde;
But I cowde nat bryng about that monacorde.

Better?

What's a' your jargon o' your schools-
Your Latin names for horns an' stools?
If honest Nature made you fools,
What sairs your grammars?
Ye'd better taen up spades and shools,
Or knappin-hammers.
