Which bike for beginner?

[McJim]

1/ don't piss me off i'm really starting to get sick of you crashe.

2/ don't stick youre nose in when you don't know shit,

3/ there is not enough power to get you out of trouble.

1/ Pot calling a kettle black?

2/ Again we are talking carbonised cooking implements.

3/ What about the other 99.9% of riders that are sensible enough not to get into your kind of trouble in the first place (yep - I've seen you ride and it ain't pretty)?

Sometimes you make sensible comments, perhaps an effort to redeem yourself from your reputation which has put you, in your own words, in a place that is not so nice.

Try to be constructive - or at least humerous - abuse is the resort of people with no wit...y'know, brain donors.

Don't become one of them.

I have read this thread with every increasing interest. Yes, I ride a Virago SkidMark!!!!!! When you are 4 ft 11 in or 150 cm tall you have very little option. I have sat on a few bikes but I can't reach the ground. Shit, I would love to ride a sport bikes but I have now learnt that my back is fucked after my accident. C1 - C4 is not good. I have no desire to go warp speed, over that, big time!!!!!!!

Some of us have no desire for a suicide mission. I gave up that when I was in my 20s. Actually I know better ways to it now. You are going to be in pine box before I am!!!! Stop being a hero for Bruce and calm down!!!

i can understand that , but obviously this guy is of a reasonable height or he wouldn't consider a sportsbike.

and if i die so be it, it's a pretty easy thing to happen on a bike when ur giving it some shit mid corner hit a bit of gravel , it's all over . and thats a risk i take to do something i love

at least if i die in a bike crash i will be glad i died on a bike not old with a body in perfect nick in some resthome

If you are reading the road ahead of you, you should not be hitting gravel (or anything else hopefuly) mid-corner.

As a 50+ year old, I can assure you that you will not die with a perfect body (not judging by the aches in my one currently

when you come into a 65 at 140 then discover gravel on the exit (say a blind left hander) ...ive had some lucky escapes ...once the bike had both wheels slightly out tried to lowside, sumhow got it back , did a very small flick trying to highside me , but i wrestled it don't ask me how the heck i did it ....considering i'm a scrawny 62kg white boy

Anyone who says he comes into a blind 65kph corner at 140 is either a braggart or a bloody fool.

If you carry on as you are lately I don't think you'll need be concerned about what a 50 year old body feels like.

A blind 65.

The speed through a blind corner is dictated not by what your tyres can cope with, but by visibility through the corner. As Mr Rhino said. If you outride your vision you may (as you discovered) encounter something nasty. Do that too many times and the time comes when you don't get away with it.

I hope you are a braggart. If not, well, carry on, it's your funeral. Literally. BTW how are you stocked for Geno-O-Kleen. Evolution you can see. You haven't bred yet have you, so Darwin is still in with a chance.
