Too many bins

[dipshit]

Fuk thats a stupid idea, best thing to do is jump back on the horse!!

I was replying to skidMark. His problem is that he is overconfident, not lacking in confidence.

Hell no. Plenty of people here on KB (we had a thread about it once -- haven't we had a thread about everything now? ) who haven't crashed in 30-40 years. I don't plan on ever crashing again after my three-days-after-licence-run-wide-on-corner incident. It's all about skill. Skilled riders don't crash. If you crash, it's because you're not a good enough rider -- either you don't have the skills required to go around corners, or because your cage-survival skills haven't developed enough yet. Sure, many crashes aren't our fault, but if we weren't such poor riders we would know how to avoid those situations in the first place or take evasive action.

So, SMC, let's learn how to fucking ride. It's an embarrassment.

Ha, well I ant taking back that part about crashing!

What I meant is that there's always a risk of a bin regardless if it's your fault or not. Best not to focus on whether you're gonna bin or not when you're riding as the worst always happen when you visualize too much shit.
I do agree that a lot of crashes are purely down to riding skill but learning/evading is only one part of motorcycling.

P.S. I'm trying to get my shit together so that I can race the KTM this Saturday at Mt Wellington - though I need about $200 worth of race permitting parts and entry fees...

We'll hold a fundraising night...

I reckon a lot of guys need to tone down on what they say to learners. Some people aren't great riders at first guys. I've crashed i'm learning, i'm back on the road...i'll learn to ride better. If a noob crashes, find the problem and learn to rectify it, dob't just say learn to f***ing ride better lol

Little Nish, don't take all this forum stuff too much at heart. When you meet them personally face to face half of them won't even have the balls to say that shit to your face.

I wasn't talking about you, mate, you really are very fresh to this whole biking thing and you seem to have the right attitude, three crashes or not. What I'm talking about is the nonces who think they know how to ride but really are unskilled squids. A certain GSX rider comes to mind.

I know I've still got poor skills; I've only done 20-30,000kms; and for that reason I choose to ride within my skill level. The result is faster levelling and less rezzing.

No problemo dudes. Well looks like the fairing will have to wait for a few weeks for paid day and the fact i need my indicator up and running pronto for my safety! Bike stores are quoting a bit sinc ei fucking sheared it off and they need to make a bracket. In the mean time a little duct tape should stop the fairing from vibrating too much for the next week or so lol
