New Bike

[KiwiDan]

When I joined this club I was the 5th member to join.

I thought it was a grt idea and spankme has done a grt job BUT,,,, it has become a site for talkers , tossers and people who ,and I have seen,, cant ride let alone race.

I know everyone has jobs and family to think of and cant always make it to a posted ride but the amount of bullshit talk just amazes me.

Ive been growled for overtaking someone whilst doing a small powerstand, I didnt intend to do the wheelie, I simply had to pass the person in front because they were painfully slow,,,, NO NAMES ...

Ive riden with some fast ppl , some talented ppl, some ppl who with experience will become fast and talented, some ppl who admitt they like life in the slow lane and thats fine by me, but by the way some ppl talk, and these are ppl I know, ppl I have ridden with, and there are quite a few in this club of talkers, ppl dare I say it,, SHOULD NOT BE ON A BIKE..

PS, just have to look at the number of post under ppl's names to no who the talkers and riders are

[gazza]

right on the money kiwidan

i joined this club to meet some fellow bike riding people after being away over seas for a while but have notice that alot of them are talkers not doers.

after going on a couple of there rides and being told i am mad and dangerous i have decided to go back to riding with the people i know and trust riding around and have met a few more good riders along the way

 

[kiwistorm]

Yep, some great ideas, genuine questions, rider info and ride dates posted on here.

Well done "Spank Me" keep up the good work.

In the end its not hard to work out who is genuine and who's trying to self promote or waste peoples time.

*looks under name*  damn! guess im one of 'em

hmm, i agree with some of what you have to say Dan, however i dont exactly think the post thing is true - If you ask me SPman is a great rider and has posted alot - but alot of it has been incredibly helpful stuff, and he is merely sharing his wisdom.  Also this site (i know i know i sound like im trying to defend myself dont i?) is no longer just about riding you bike with others in the weekend,  It has become a home to technical issues, aswell as the Rave On sector (things other then bikes).

secondly (and i dont mean to just keep trying to anti-your ideas) If you are saying these talkers shouldnt be on a bike then i feel you, ahead of all these talkers shouldnt be on a bike, but thats not for me to judge .  Riding a bike means lots of different things to different people, and saying the "talkers" group of them shouldnt be on a bike imho is immature (haha this coming from *i think* the youngest member (17)) and just plain old nasty   - be friendly people!

argh, lost my trail of thought halfway through that and cant continue, need to jump offline and make a phonecall rather fast - will check here later for the abuse - cheers guys

[rubber shredder]

I just want to know what the punishment is for being full of shit and sprung on this site????
:roadkill:

[Mitch]

Hey Shredder I think this is the punishment in itself!!  We are all full of shit and getting sprung is simply a matter of time. 

  

Just have to try and take it as well as you give it!! 

[Kwaka-Kid]

hahahah!!   shred!

ahh im back again... this has turned out to be an interesting topic...

Oh and one thing.. about the whole being complained at and told ur a mad rider etc for some of you here...  It seems to me alot of you pride yourself etc in being told this anyway and just makes you feel more special   and if not, bah, just take the telling off from the slow bugger you dont listen to anyway, it cant be that bad can it?  However i do think somtimes some of you more loose ones could have a little more self control and care a little more for the safety of your fellow rider, just dont be so outgoing right beside them etc, and if it was "an accident" like you said Kiwidan, fair enough, i semi-udnerstand, but this on another small topic - how can u accidentally pull a noticable wheelie? i mean, when i pulled a tiny (maybe 6inch?) wheelie on the GS1000 (yeah okay shit old slow bike) i knew from 1inch and could have shut off by 2inchs high and nobody would have noticed such a small wheelie esp if they were a bike beside me... To me it shows poor control of the bike, and if you were riding anywhere near ur limits on the bike as to get into a situation where you were out of control beside a fellow rider im not surprised he talked to you about it...  I know i know im only 17 and know shit all, but i was always told if im going to push limits etc do it away from others, they might actually have some remote care for life unlike me    - btw im not trying to sound like a nana all concerd, because by all means, do it beside me, hell undertake me @ extreme speeds whilst on one wheel for all i care and ill laugh with you @ the next stop

[Kwaka-Kid]

argh mitch u ebat my psot i c...  hahaha  yeah i enjoy the livlyness of this board

and yeah its fun to be the minority - i think is because im a teenager etc and its mostly seen to be kool, to often go against the flow.. and here on this board it somtimes means playing alongside the police/saftey etc :P     dunno, thats just my assumption.

EDIT: HEY MITCH! you EDITED UR POST! damn you, hahah the bit about WKID1's silence being deafening

and that I loved it when my ass was on the block

eh what was all that edit about eh girl eh?!

[wari]

For my 50 cents worth... this isn't a club !

It's a forum started to get Kiwi bikers together, riding, talking, encouraging, helping each other out and having some fun. A central point where NZ bikers can meet or get to know others of a similar interest (in bikes of course). The membership has grown quite a bit and there is bound to be a big variety of skill and people type. Just a fact of life. No point in getting down on anyone for their differences or what ever.

I certainly dont read every post / thread . I pick and choose what is of interest. I also haven't been on an organised ride as I'm usually working and I prefer to ride alone or just with a mate or two.

I hope this place doesn't turn into a bunch of squabbling twats ... coz that's not what it was intended for.

Fair comment by wari, the nail has been hit on the head

Kwaka kid is only 17 ?, so much wisdom.

[Mitch]

    I was trying to be a little less offensive KK............... 

Wkid_ones silence is bloody deafening though and YES KK was the last one to have his ass put on the block!!  And he took it very well.

KiwDan, you didn't bother to mention you were carrying a pillion at the time. Text removed as it was unwarranted. Apolgies to KiwiDan.When you overtook me I was incredibly slow and looking for a place to move over so you could all get by, not that you needed it. I wouldn't have done the overtake...but hey I'm not you.

Other inflammatory text removed......didn't add positively to the debate.

[What?]

Wari, you must have been reading my mind. My thoughts exactly, mate.

What I like about this forum is the interchange of ideas. I don't agree with all of them, but they are nonetheless interesting. It is all part of what makes life interesting. If I meet people through this, that is great, and if I don't,

And Kiwidan, top marks about who and where you should be accepting advice from, especially when it comes to riding. Anyone looking for advice on riding really should be going to a trainer, but that is not to say that they shouldn't consider other peoples opinions - as long as those opinions are considered carefully and maybe discussed with known experts in the field. Of course, that is just my opinion...

[bluninja]

What...interesting point about seeing a trainer. Does anyone know of people that do advanced road ride courses in NZ? Or of road race schools tuition? Maybe this should go in another topic....advice welcomed
