    17 is no excuse for riding like an arse. if you don't want to become a statistic i would recommend and little bit of thought .. just a little ... you may find that it improves your enjoyment of riding ..

    Think man ... THINK!!!

    OK I apologise for not fully comprehending the consequences of my actions at the time. Normally I DO think while riding, but today, it just wasn't on the menu I guess.

    That's so funny

    I've ridden my FXR150 for 5 years and never had a bin.
    I filter in the rain, heck, I even filter when there is snow on the ROAD!

    I hope you learn from each of your bins and hope you're not seriously injured.
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

    Look at it this way
    Handling Skill; So you reckon you can ride the cones OK so you meet the minimum.
    Mental Skill: Down hill in neutral means brain in neutral
    Self control Skill:

    Maybe a step in the right direction..!
    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    My friend told me he did it on his dirt bike, on dirt. Sounded like fun.

    You should try it sometime. It's enlightening.

    Nah, hand was a little sore, knee hurt, but no pain now. Fairing's got another scrape (hurrah!) and the gear shift's bent tight against my boot, so now I don't have to move my foot to shift, I just sneeze and woow! in another gear!

    so we'll catch you at Glenorchy rally in january then?
    Hopefully the bike is still in one piece by then...if not sell it to me cheaply for a bucket-racer

    You're assuming that its... Um yeah, sure.

    Dunno, depends on when in January? Will be working hard over Christmas/Summer, will be heading up to Auckland start of February, so everyone can give me a good slap around the ears and a general lesson or two

    Oh got your email Warlock, stupid Hotmail had put your email in Junk Mail, but deemed that I would want to know about UrgentMarket Info.
    Gracias, and adios.

    Yes, 6, only 2 at a speed where light bodily damage was a possibility.
    Whatever.
    Thanks for your concern, will read and practise, read and practise.
