I'm thinking it's a coincidence Jim, 'enry is off soon. + no poor little 250 would . cope

God bless Barry Sheene would be approaching 60 - Nah Baz yous too old in ya. Sure.

I'm pretty sure he's done more than 60 though...

You put some old dribbler who hasn't ridden for 20 years on a R1 and it's pretty likely to end it tears.

I'm 60 and I only dribble when I've had too many Monteiths or there's an attractive teenie with a short skirt about. And the only way it will end in tears is if Mrs B catches me watching aforesaid teenie.

Yooself. Yoo is the Barry side of the equation - or are you slowing down too much to get that Granpaw?

I'd be flattered to think I was even 25% as fast as Bazza. Or do you mean chick magnet like Bazza, hehe

Has anyone noticed the similarity between the picture on the front page of that web site and Mr Riffer's signature?

Mentally ill! . . . . .. OLD!. . . . . . . Too much for me, I'm off for a ride tomorow!! I'll take me mentally ill old self and go and play on the road! Cheers.

seems obvious to me that the guy makes money out of rider training, and so he wants the government to pay him more money for rider training. So talk up the problem, say you can save them millions and then offer to take some of their spare tax payer money off them to buy ya shiny new trinkets.
I spose ya can't blame the guy for trying to suck more money out of them, if ya sell widgets you sure want to be telling people they need new ones. just pushing brand X, it's just a shame he has to have a go at us motorcycle enthusiasts. Looks like he has seen a gap in the market to sell his courses to the older people getting back into bikes and is now trying to convince the powers that be to come up with the pingers.

Allan Kirk of Megatugger is the epitome of the sayings "there's no fool like an old fool" or "wisdom often comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone". When I questioned him by email about his qualifications to make such ridiculous assertions and claims as does, he refused to answer. So he has none. He even went so far as to claim that a WR median barrier uses less space than a concrete barrier - he's right, but only if they're installed against their manufacturers guidelines, like we do here in NZ. Silly bald-headed budgie-fucker.

As an over 40s Mentally Ill retard motorcycle rider, there are things that I know that I didnt 25 yrs ago when friends and family only gave me a week to live after I got my motorcycle licence, Its been a long week, Yup the technology of modern motorcycles has changed remarkably in the last 30 yrs, and for a good many riders the modern sports bikes are able to handle well beyond their ability, or presumed ability, There are some good riders out there, and there are some very good riders out there, I dont claim to fit into either catargory.
I belive that motorcycle riding is about constant risk analysis, and the ability to make constant judgement calls on what is safe for your self and those around you, regardles if you are riding at 20kmph or 200kmph or some where in between.
Defensive driving or riding means that some times you have to think for other road users as well as your self, its no good being Dead Right, and there are worse things than death.
yep the laws regarding to the road are guide lines, break them if you choose to do so get caught pay the fine or do the time, but the laws of physics on the other hand dont let you off so easily.
If you have got your self into an "OH FARK" situation then for most of us regardless of age its probably to late, its the ability to recognise the "OH FARK" situation before you get into it, and that is a judgement call, and that can only be made by the nut holding the handel bars.
And this comes from exsperience and training, and knowing your own ability.
