Is binning becoming more socially acceptable?

[Swoop]

I believe that the binning will become more frequent.
Whether it is "acceptable" or not is yet to be decided. We all realise that we must ride to the conditions prevalent on the road; however, having traveled some miles today and noticing a few, rather scary, trends, I feel it will happen more often.

Observations:
#1: Increased amounts of unsignposted roadworks. TWO of these occurred on corners.
#2: Quality of "road repair" after said task has been completed.
#2a: Chap on a tractor with a "rotating brush" system, who was sweeping the road and when I returned four hours later, was STILL sweeping the road without any noticeable difference in condition.
#2b: TCU (many thanks SARGE for that apt descriptive term) driving a light truck which was towing a framework which resembled a house's roof truss, attached to which were multiple brush-heads. "Sweeping" the road with this device appears to have spread the pea-gravel over a far greater area...

Driving to the conditions will entail having a camera with you at all times, simply to record the condition of the road surface for the insurance company to take a compensation claim against the District Council.

I have seen you on the track and you certainly know how to get your bike to go quick. No problem. I have also witnessed some pretty impressive wheelies up teh front striaght at Manfield. Enjoyed by all for sure. I also remember you posting about flipping a 400(?) (sure this was you) on the alkd/wellington(?) motorway(?).

Dont tell me your friends let you away without a beating for that trick???

drews the fukn man.
this one time racing chuck norris, up the wainui hill he did it all on the back wheel, then going down hill, did it on the front wheel. then he put 3 spark plugs back in. and did a rolling burn out all the way to the pub.
but seriously, the story with the 400 was he had ridden on one wheel back from wellington at 320kmh to the hut an was getting bored so went for slow speed wheelies doing hand stands, got it down to 5kmh, got bored of that did a rolling burn out from melling to kelson, on one wheel, when a freak accident happened and a ethiopian lepracaun child jumped out onto the road and out of safety he decided it was best to jump off back of bike, kick the kid back onto the pavement, then try jump back onto the bike, unfortunately the bike only rolled for 50m standing up on one wheel before it fell over.
if only it had gone for 52m, it may have never flipped.v all in a days owrk.

Na. I never tried to avoid the blame, and it was all my fault, but the road was clear, I had a helmet on, and was going slow. The risks were low, and shit happened. How was this crash not acceptable?
