The best post I have ever read on Kiwibiker.

[cowboyz]

the whole point is not to change skidmark. He will be as he is till he spirills down into a RIP thread where every one will come out and say what a nice guy he is. They will, of course, be lying but it is bad karma to say someone is a complete and utter cock when they have just wiped themselves out on the road. (Which I predict will happen within 5 years of skiddy getting back on the road)
The point is, as a society of bikers, to stand up and say this is not what we want on the road. Sure you can ride fast, sure you can stunt in appropriate places (more on that soon) but no you cant carve others up on the road and act like a complete loser. This serves a point, like I say, not to "fix" skidmark but to let the next gen of bikers know that this is not acceptable.

Side note about stunting on the road.
Kevmo and co put up a video of some 12oclocks on some road somewhere. It was obvious it was out of the way and I didnt see a problem with it. Others did. Many others did see a problem with it and said so but with opposing views creates debate and with plenty of people on each side then you can understand why they keep doing it.

Transfer this to the dangerous and fuckwit behaviour of skiddy. With so many against it, hopefully someone who is brain deficient enough to think skiddy is cool will think that it doesnt seem so cool with so many thinking its knoblike.

Such eloquence - it's just a shame it was wasted on Skidmark who won't fucken listen anyway.

You unnecessarily flatter him by mentioning his name. Let's please try to avoid making this (yet) another SM thread.

[Hitcher]

and he deserves every one.

I do feel a little sorry for him though cause I wouldnt want to ever post again after a homerun like that one. Oh the pressure.

I guess some members aren't solely motivated by compiling a greatest hits album.

I mean no disrespect to the guys he mentions,but and a big BUT,when guys like quasi and others say these guys are not the best role models to look up to regarding their riding,I take heed of it.Sure they might be able to pull wheelies etc on the track or closed circuits etc,but doing it on the road can be asking for trouble,i.e cops and other vehicles.This is the part ... {snip} ...

No disrespect either but the spacebar is the big long one at the bottom of the k/b. Am trying to read your posts but is too hard so yer points are prolly lost.

Stop wasting your time fussing about other people, especially the brain damaged go-hard-because-I'm-immortal brigade. Ride your own ride and try not to kill anyone in the process. There is literally nothing you can do about, or for the people who need to take heed. The more you rant, the less they listen, the less they want to emulate you. They're out to prove you old and irrelevant.

if his post makes one person think twice about doing something that's stupid then its worth it isnt it? i know it'll make me think twice, but what would i know im just a know-it all bullet proof 19 yr old. We all need reality checks from time to time

Sadly, I think Mr Jim2 is right.

Horses, water and all that.

I've found by now that I can identify the newbies that have what it takes for the long haul. And those that haven't.

The first do not need the results of stupidity explained to them, they can work it out for themselves. The second won't take it on board no matter what. None so blind, etc.

Normally if its Ixion, I'd agree. But not so fast this time. On the whole I think you are right. But there is still 1 in a 100 newbs who just don't think. But then something prompts them to. That 1 in a 100 will find posts like this valuable. The 99 make the noise and we waste our time on them.

Slowpoke's post is powerful, but I find the real thing as posted by Quazievil so much more harrowing. It is a tough read.

There's some young rider on here who that will speak to. Maybe just one - but let's save you wasting all the kleen-o-gene we can, eh?

Thanks for posting that link
Certainly makes you reconsider your riding style. This is the sort of thing they should make people read when they start sitting thier motor bike licence
I hope and pray i never have to experience anything like that myself

[CHOPPA]

thats a reality check! even more reason to keep it on the track... for myself anyways. I know there are similar risks involved but atleast your in the right enviroment...

[Rotor]

Its an eye opener
This site took me to a letter of that day. New Zealand day we road passed the corner and thats my way of showing respect, keep on riding, safe or not its your choise
I don't know anyone but every time you ride you bike you can crash
Thats the way it is
Its good to have chicken strips, just incase you are chichen and have to use them, atlest you had that much left

Fucks sake, enough heaping shit on skidmarkx.

What is he, some punching bag? You dont like him, course, not, he represents you and me 20 years ago.

I read a great truth the other day "You know when you are growing up, its when you truly realise what a fool you were"

Its called maturity. It come with time and experience. As supposedly mature people we should have patience with people that we retrospectively know are riding at sub par levels.

Who here that got started on bikes as young'un didnt ever crash through sheer stupidity? Who here hasnt sent or recieved txt while driving, or drag raced a boy racer? Well, maybe you should just substute in your self for you own critisism eh? Who made you so fucking perfect?

The fact is, if you were'rnt a bit "loose" in the head, you would never have been into bikes in the first place.

I'm a pretty safe rider these days, but it hasnt always been the case. And I know I'm not immune to testosterne fever.

disagree. I dont go out on my bike (even on the quick runs) thinking I am going to crash. In fact, I go out thinking I am going to have a great time and get home just fine.

Fucks sake, enough heaping shit on skidmarkx.
the tosser deserves everything he gets. Needs to learn there are consequences for actions, if you want them or not. He acts like a tosser, he talks like a tosser, and types like a tosser. He should be treated like a tosser.
What is he, some punching bag? You dont like him, course, not, he represents you and me 20 years ago.
If he was treated like a punching bag, someone might have knocked a bit of sense into him by now, instead of making excuses about how he was born a asshole and just got bigger. And, No. He certainly doesnt represent me or anyone I grew up with 20 years ago.

I read a great truth the other day "You know when you are growing up, its when you truly realise what a fool you were"
A fool is one thing. A compulsive fucking moron is skidmark.

You think we should wait till he kills someone on the road. (note I didnt say kills himself cause at this stage I couldnt give a fuck if he cleans himself up).
Who here that got started on bikes as young'un didnt ever crash through sheer stupidity? Who here hasnt sent or recieved txt while driving, or drag raced a boy racer? Well, maybe you should just substute in your self for you own critisism eh? Who made you so fucking perfect?
Its not about being perfect. Its about picking your battles. Skiddy gets support from the masses who feel they need to contribute to charity to make themselves feel better.
The fact is, if you were'rnt a bit "loose" in the head, you would never have been into bikes in the first place.
that is not true at all. And skiddy puts "a bit loose in the head" into a whole new catergory.

my thoughts inline.

I tell my kids "If you got nothing nice to say, dont say anything at all" I would like to give Skiddy the same advise, Ill bet in time that would change everyones perception of him. (quite a bit of time needed for this to happen)
Never met the guy myself but after reading his posts I know i couldnt stand being in the same hemisphere as him

[cowboyz]

thats what I meant to say but I am not as polite.
