Does this look wrong to you?

Yo TS, tell em how it's done in the wet

[Cajun]

Dont get me started on the Microslut script debugger. The fucking thing keeps crashing my app when im trying to step through a function. gah!

Modding someone elses uncommented code. Fcking code monkeys.

oh wait...

that sounds like my code hahahaha, my code usual has swear words for varaibles. makes them easyer for me to remember, and the varaible workyoupieceofshit usual does the trick i have found.

looks like the guy in the second photo is actually overshooting the corner?

Sure, yeah there are definately good tyres out there. Im just a learner ive only ridden using one set of tyres (plain old all rounder tyres), so still nervous about my wet weather riding.

For your average joe, with average tyres and average skills on their average motorcycle riding as the article states makes sense. But I guess as your experience grows you know your bike and your tyres, you know what you can do and when you can do it so for the more experienced rider its really up to you.

So its all a guide really. The leaning makes sense, trying to conserve maximum traction, but yeah with decent tyres these days you can be cranked over in the wet just fine (apparently).

hehe, yeah next time I have to update a particular customers app I think ill have to go through and get rid of the variables "moo" "snarf" and "wibble".

Oh and while im here its quite nice to have a decent discussion on a forum without it descending into personal attacks.


fuckwark. (hehe kidding).

Or are they still subscribing to 1970s research done on bikes with crap brakes and narrow ribbed tyres, whose tread only covers 30% of the tyre?

Hey! You can't beat crap brakes in the wet! Avoids wheel lock ups...

Anyway? Whats wrong with narrow tyres... The Guzzi runs as hard in the wet as the dry.. It's actually a very nice bike to ride in the rain provided dickheads (other than me) don't drop oil and fuel everywhere... (worst thing is the cast iron rotors hurling rusty water all over the poxy thing, the MESS!!)

It's just a darn shame I don't LIKE riding in the wet....

I said narrow RIBBED (for her pleasure) tyres, you illiterate buffoon!

Modern crossplys make 10 year old radials look a bit sad too.

[DEATH_INC.]

Yep,when the turbo was on it's original x-plys I usta steer it round all the bends on the motorway with the rear when it rained.....couldn't do that now....

Clearly whats wrong with the first photos are his knee is nowhere near the deck, can do better!!

[Motu]

Try and drag your knee on the Transalp he's riding,you'll have to pass the left arm up under the tank.He's got wide bars and it's a shot for the camera as someone said.
