Tearing Choppa a new A'Hole
OK, both jandals on both feet this time.
I'm obeying the "rules" because I'm not allowed to overtake round the outside, and the wobbly person who's not very comfortable, sees a bike to their outside, freaks out, grabs a fist full of picks and slides into me.
Am I then allowed to beat the shit outta them and torch the remains of their bike Boomer?

Right, let me clarify a few things - NO, I wasn't at our track day on this occasion because I had a prior engagement. Usually you are allowed to overtake in any of the sessions - you are just NOT allowed to overtake the person leading each session, who is always wearing a reflective safety vest. Obviously this year it was decided that there would be no overtaking in the slow laps, which is fine, and as people have stated here, it WAS mentioned at the riders' briefing. Therefore, as everyone in the slow laps was aware of that rule, you can be damned sure that if any of you who say you were overtaken had bothered to bring this to the attention of the organisers (it's not like you had to identify every rider who overtook you), this rule would have been mentioned again at the start of the next session and people would have been keeping an eye out for anyone breaking the rule. The fact that NOT ONE of you bothered to mention this means you forfeit the right to complain about it later. Rest assured, any offenders would have been left in no doubt that they would be asked to leave if they had not obeyed the rules. It's not just YOUR arses on the line at these track days, it's ours too.Originally Posted by Mrs Kendog
I would just like to say that I personally am not intentionally having a whine, just stating what happened, and I'm not usually one to go running off to the teacher every time someone pulls my pigtails.
If I had reported every person who undertook me on Saturday, I'm pretty sure I would have been on the track with three other people (obviously the ones that heard the rules) (actually, that would have been quite nice, if a bit boring).
Honestly I couldn't tell you who passed me how, although I do remember some of the more considerate ones, as I didn't give enough of a shit to think 'oh that asshole on that ..... just passed me again'.
We were also told that it is the overtaker's responsibility to overtake carefully and safely, not the overtakee to change their lines or ride so people can pass them.
Anyway,this is getting boring, go do some work you useless bums!
And with regards to Sallo's comment about why have the "front end charlie" going at a much faster pace than the rest of the riders and why didn't he fuck off into a faster class, I am assuming she means the CDMTCI member leading the laps? If so, it is his job to LEAD the laps, so of course he will be going faster than the rest of the riders, who are then able to go at any pace they feel comfortable with, as long as they don't pass HIM. The laps are usually led at not much more than the open road limit to allow novices to go a little faster than they can on the road. If he led them at 100kph or less, he would end up with a huge bunch of riders right on his tail, all complaining that they thought the whole point of a track day was to go a bit faster and have a bit of a play on a race track.
If there were that many people overtaking in the slow laps when they had been told not to, then this is an issue that definitely should have been raised with the organisers ON THE DAY. I would place money on this being stressed and monitored closely at subsequent track days.
And thank you to all of you who have supported my stance on this matter. As a club, we try our best to host events like this and they have always been well patronised and enjoyable for riders. We go to great lengths to ensure we have marshalls, ambulance staff, crash rescue, etc and it does cost a lot to do it right. If it rains on the day and hardly anyone turns up, we would have to wear the loss.
But I cannot stress strongly enough that we are unable to act on any complaints of dangerous or stupid behaviour AFTER the event. If these two (and any others who were similarly pissed off) had raised their concerns with ANY of our club members ON THE DAY, they would have been taken seriously and dealt with. We all know what it's like to be a scared learner and we want to encourage people to increase their skills, not put them off returning. Maybe Sallo could bring her mum along to the next track day so she could speak up on her behalf if there are any problems.
Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

thats why you're an idjiot, you DON't listen..FULLSTOP.
NO UNDERTAKING IN SLOW OR MEDIUM GROUPS!!!!
agreed mate, there's lots of scenarios that can pan out, from my perspective the slow, medium & fast groups should be utilised as follows.
ANYONE unsure, wobbly or a novice should go slow or medium. ANYONE who can ride a bike competantly should go fast group. Yes this would feck the fast group of but they at least know they can pass without having to worry about what theyre trying to do.
we could argiue this forever, the organisers make it quite clear.. well for some huh JSG, that undertaking is NOT allowed for what ever reason in anything BUt teh fast groups.. this should be adhered to.
and you wouldn't be the first to piss on ma bike Jimmy

No, only Dunkey is allowed to beat people up, he suffers from pent up aggression caused by the adversities in life he faces by being a pussy homo.
Do not be alarmed by this as his pussy homo’ness renders him unable to cause any lasting damage to others since he is a weak little chimp, who likes nothing more than eating “bananas”.
However, being a pussy homo he wont take no for an answer and always tries to prove himself by brandishing masculine challenges to others in the hope that they may bring some much needed normalcy to his queer life.
Dunkey – if you don’t understand what I’ve said ask your mentor His High and Drunkeness “The Dover” to translate.

I can comprehend what you're saying and implying thanks. What i don't understand is how you have the audacity to post comments and offer advice when you're one of the, if not biggest, culprits of complete and utter negligence.
Maybe you'd like to stop and contemplate that as i too contemplate my percieved thuggery

What thuggery?? Despite all your noise, you're one of the nicest people I know on KB and I do like ya in a brotherly fashion ya donut.
Yeah mate - notice the bike "In hiatus" status. Will be a while before I buy that 750 or thou, not gonna bother with 6's ........ and then will try and stick to the track... ec, pi, wakefield
I've gotten away with so much I should have been killed at least 50 times (or more) or serving years behind bars and I'm not talking bout pubs.

Lets stick to facts. As usual, people just show up and muddy the waters by getting it all wrong.
As boomer said, we're talking about passing on the INSIDE on the SIGHTING laps, and the SLOW and MEDIUM group, all of which were a nono at the trackday SOME of us were at last week. If you want to talk about fast/race pace, other track days, homos, chimps, xboxes, bananas.. have I got all the bases covered guys?.... Fuck offfff.
We're also talking about the riders, not complaining about how the the track day was run. Most people aren't "tell on, na na na na" types of people. So Beemer, put your nickers straight, we LOOOVED the trackday.
Kendogs, go back to work
Oh and did I mention that twat on the old cbr who but for some drastic avoiding action on my part, would have wiped me out on the sighting laps. Bloddy twat.
Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

You forgot to mention the 50 or more "other people" you could have taken out with you.- notice the bike "In hiatus" status. Will be a while before I buy that 750 or thou, not gonna bother with 6's ........ and then will try and stick to the track... THAT IS A RELIEF AND A WORRY!

Pot - kettle - black -...... anyway lets not get into that.
50 other people? You know something I don't??
Remarkable fluke isn't it that I do what I do everytime I'm on the road or track for the last two years and no one actually crashes or gets hurt..... I must be really lucky......
Off the wagon
Have you ever seen me ride dangerously? I'd like to know if you have. I saw you do some shocking overtaking manourvers on that ride with sugi. Three times you overtook me under brakes then stood it up and ran wide. You came very close to me and I did tell you that I wasnt happy with your dangerous overtaking. In the end I stopped to let you get far enough ahead so I could go at MY own pace around the corners and not have to worry about you running me off the road. If you cant handle a modern 600cc bike then why the hell would you want a 750 or a thou?Pot - kettle - black -
