Come in GN 43YDZ, your time is up!

[The Big J]

On the bright side may I say that your were sporting a very nice armoured courdura jacket. I'm sure it will be useful to have a clean batch of unmarked skin on your torso that the doctors can harvest and graft on to your legs and ankles (or were those kevlar lined suit pants and dress socks you were wearing?).

Thank you GN 43YDZ

I wear my suit pants and dress socks on my bike. If I'm only travelling 5 minutes through town under 50km/h (realistically more time a traffic lights) it's similar speed to riding a push bike and I don't wear protective gear on my MTB.

The moment I'm on the motorway I wear cordura though. It's just they're so bulky and a pain in the arse when people see you taking your pants off in the alleyway by the carpark...

I ride with both feet hovering above the ground to stretch..

Oh gawd its true, i cant ride

[apteryx_haasti]

Weren't me. Does sound quite similar to an experience I had recently on the m'way...with a slow lane splitter in front...on a ginny. DUnno the plate no....Was it black?

I've seen one of them. That was the weirdest thing, He left the lights, both feet down... OK cool, then 800metres down the road, his feet are still down and barely 2 inches off the ground? Maybe he was nervous because of his open face helmet, shorts and t shirt.

Edit: Maybe he is trying to endurance train his quads or something. That shits gotta start hurting pretty quick!!

yep! i got caught in the taupo lake run thing going to paeroa...riding for however long with my legs dangling due to slow speed and very regular stopping...main reason i started cutting up traffic, that and the overheating of both me and the bike.

Hey there Bert back the hell off our little GN friend, for all you know he might have been drunk

[kiwisfly]

I remember when I was just a wee kid watching the movie Easy Rider with my Dad, there's a scene where one of them (not peter fonda, the other guy) who's supposed to be a big bad biker rides along with his feet just off the ground. My Dad (who used to race his Manx Norton) said "you see that, it means he doesn't know how to ride".
I classify that as my first ever riding lesson.
Ah memories
Like the corners off my mind...

Dennis Hopper from memory...1st time I ever saw it I was a tad shit faced!!
(Must get it out again to see how it's coped with time?)
