Always pursue the knowledge of motorbiking ... whether it's about tyre types, maintenance issues, the goss on the latest models, etc. you need to keep learning and making active reflections on what you're learning.

Keep reading, keep listening and keep thinking about what it means to be a biker!

Put into practice the theory where it is safe to...

what she said.

Expect the unexpected.

Remember: it's a road, not a racetrack.

Never said it wasn't good enough. I apologise if I have caused you offence, none was intended.
Just some of us grieve in different ways.
For me and the co worker carrying on the good work in a constructive manner is more cathartic.

These forums are FULL of constructive advice. Some of it Uncle B's. If you want to do a constructive tribute, search the forums and make a compendium of every useful tidbit you can find and group it by contributor or subject in the Survival Tips forum. That way it doesn't get buried in the General Bike Ravings morass.

I am offended. A heartfelt personal tribute has been described as hollow and pointless. I've contributed tips over the years, and fundamentally it has been largely a hollow, pointless exercise. Nobody pays any attention to the good stuff lots of people contribute until something like last weekend happens and then the knee jerk reaction is to reinvent the wheel, pore over advice in a badly formatted thread destined for oblivion, and refuse to make hard lessons earned in the worst possible way a baseline for constructive, ongoing change in the process dissemination of vital information within the scope of these forums.

Moulding the advice dished out over the years on Kiwibiker into an accessible format is work, and we're all naturally work shy, but given that no one else will be interested, and Uncle B and I were going to build a semi-formal framework for mentoring over the Summer, with live experimental subjects, I guess I should get off my arse and get started then, shouldn't I?

Now....why do you think she put that little bit of advice in here.................

As no man ever steps into the same river twice, no man ever rides the same piece of road twice. Never assume either to be the same, expect and respect change.

I had the priviledge of recently spending a day with Bruce & colleagues providing some Tuition at Taupo Motorcircuit. I was greatly saddened by the news of both Bruce and Darryl. Bruce not only displayed a high level of skill and ability on his bike, but was receptive and willing to learn. A great mate to his friends, and an up and coming threat on the track, possibly one of the most promising prospects I have seen in NZ motorcycle racing in many years.

Sadly, a great loss to all

The anal sphincter is the only muscle in the human body that can detect the difference between solid, liquid and gas. Learn well the consequences of over-exciting it.

Make sure that those you love know you do so.

Only a fool breaks the two-second rule.

rule 1 trust no-one
rule 2 never throw up in your helmet

I would add:

rule 3 never sneeze with your visor down. Doh!

[blackkatana]

Good rules and good tips on the whole. Keep your eyes moving, leave yourself an out.

I fell a Wiki coming on. PM Spankme and see if there's any way a Wiki server can be put up on the server and make a number of members authors. Work out an indexing format for the tips and then have at it.

I'm more than happy to do some searching and editing for it.
