...Take Zed for example - who only a mere 7 months ago was chargrinning me for the very thing he did this weekend (practising and preaching come to mind). And he has the HOLIEST of pillion passengers

Wkid has left the building ie - won't be reading replies~~~~

I only gave you a hard time binning it because you were boasting about your reckless road riding, and not once have I ever claimed that just because I've got the Lord I will NOT bin my bike! You've had a problem with me (and I with you I suppose) for some time now, oh how I wasn't surprised to see my name mentioned in your closing address.

I only hope that God gets a hold of your heart before you die Cincinnati Kid aka Satan(KB member)!

Good bye,


Zed

I may not know much but I do know that The Wicked One was not "Satan".

[Zed]

...was not "Satan".

Who is it then Hitcher? Secrecy will only cast doubt!

Hmmmm,I think so - you don't see many with reports of them binning an older bike,but then not as many here ride older bikes.I think a modern bike lulls a rider into a false sence of security,or skill level - they just can't reach the limit of these bikes and so have no idea where it is...until they do of course,then we hear about it.On an older bike the limit is found earlier,you know where it is and how fast you can go at all times.I ride with tyres most would consider unsafe for the road,but I know what's happening with my tyres,the limits within easy reach for me.

I agree here, although I think that most of us that ride older bikes also are older ourselves, the new bikes are far too fast and scary for me, in fact I don't enjoy driving or riding any faster than the speed limit, I have weighed up the cost of binning it and decided that driving a car is dangerous too, but it is a calculated risk I'm taking and I hope and pray I never have an accident. I'm quite a cautious person anyway, but I think it's a good thing that wkid has thought about the cost/risks of bikes and made this descision. He'll come back to bikes for sure but he will be a different sort of biker when he does. This is not a bad thing. As I keep saying to my kids, the cemetary is full of people who never thought it would happen to them.

Motu the problem is they think they can ride but they is just a pack of bunnies.

some people seem to think it was a good ride if ya made it home without crashing or getting a tcket

they ant reached that level that we br ridden at yet

I take my cues from the people who do dangerous stuff for a living - rally drivers, airline pilots, and whatnot: if you want to do something dangerous, do it as safely as possible.

The American National Safety Council has an interesting page which shows you what, in the USA in 2001, were your odds on dying doing various activities. Here's the link.

Interesting to see you have a 1 in 1214 chance of dying in a motorcycle accident in the States in your lifetime

Weirder is that I had a greater chance (almost 6 times) of committing suicide using a gun while I lived in the States than I did of dying on a motorbike. I'm moving back there... I know I am not going to commit suicide, so if my odds of dying on a bike are 6 times less than that, I must be completely unlikely to die on a bike.

I watched a bit of the 3 Documentary about Coroners in LA last night before Gini had to watch "William and Mary".

Interestingly, they said that 1 in 4 cases deaths in LA County the Coroner handled was a suicide.

That Low? Surely moving to LA County is suicide with all the smog etc.
