Just about to give up

[Swampdonkey]

On yah Rossi ! dont give up mate ...Im with Jimjim what goes around comes around!

You probably look like a target.Riding a 250 won't help or a red jacket.Buy a rifle bag to keep,I don't know,a little fishing rod in and carry that around.I bought one for my air rifle and people would rather cross the street than make eye contact when I carried that for five minutes.Crossbows can look pretty tough strapped to your back too.

the van has a very good vdu...something that was stuck with tape tothe back of it and has left a mark

My uncle was hit square in the face with a full beer can with his visor up on the highway a few months ago, broke out some teeth smashed his glasses and bloodied him pretty badly. He didn't bin it either somehow

2 cars back was a copper thankfully, who took off and caught the pricks.

he is very lucky.that apple could have got me in the face but only got my are now i have sqwished apple on my jacket

[mitchilin]

"Sqwished apple"?Motorcycling isn't for everyone.If you can't take that how are you gonna take the nurse scraping road outa ya knees and standing in front of the Judge saying your very sorry.I've read this thread feeling a bit of empathy ,but some of your spelling is starting to grate.Don't "mince" your words.

Chill on the dude he's from dunedin.

i would hate to tell you to get back on the bike and find out you came a croppa a week later. It is a risk, you need to make sure you are prepared to take the risk....even if that means taking a hard look at what you can do to be more aware of the c*&#s out there and avoiding them.

I've had a few instances this year where i've questioned the sanity of riding. But i saddled up on sunday after a few weeks off the bike and remembered why i do it.

good luck whatever road you take.

pees out.

[rossi]

well sorry if what i put is not to your standard.i blame my laptop for that
or maybe my teachers at school,or maybe i just type to fast and dont proof read it befor i post.
im not perfect

[rossi]

thank you i will keep on riding

[mitchilin]

But for everything you gain in life a price is paid.Hard yards and all that.If you have tried and failed,fair enough,but at some stage perserversance pays off.Life throws some challenges your way sometimes and the way you handle that is the mark of a man.Let him go back to his car.

[rossi]

i know i will ride again
just have to keep at it.
im only having a rant about what happend thats all

[jtzzr]

Don`t give up mate ,they say "Whatever doesn`t kill ya makes you stronger" I hope this doesn`t mean there is going to be an apple hating thread started, it wasn`t the apples fault.

[rossi]

lol

[inlinefour]

well thats very true and hey it was only a apple not a boling ball but any thing hiffed at ya is a danger and could do much worse.
some just need to know how to respect anyone on the road and show due care

If your getting this upset over an apple core then perhaps riding motorcycles is not your thing? I've had plenty of things hit me, worst was a live ciggie butt that went into my open helmet thanks to the cager in frount of me.
The fact generally is that the sort of people that do these things do not really care about others and chasing them down is more likely going to get you more problems than what its worth. The roads are dangerous to be on, be it on a bike through to a truck. It was not that long ago that some twat threw a piece on concrete (or was it a stone? I cannot remember) off one of the bridges that run over the AKL motorway. The end result was that the fellow driving underneath at the time lost his life. You either need to accept the danger or stay away and wrap yourself with cotton wool. If you feel safe in a cage, so be it. But it does not change the fact that the roads can be a dangerous place to be at times.

was a whole apple lol
fair coment
its always good to see what others think
and we can always learn from them
