Up the takas, dry road and no traffic, I reckon I would only arrive 30 secs, a minute MAX after Deano, Hayden and the likes. Is it really worth it to risk life, and money to have bragging rites? Also, I just don't know if I could ever be that fast, and would hate to try in vain.

Don't get me wrong, I wish I could ride like the big boys

And then I always remember, I've only been riding for 21 months...

Very true Dave. It's something only some of us can or want to do. I'm content to be average speed.

As for riding like the "big boys". If you really want to do it, practice, practice, practice I guess.

That right?

That's what a little race track called Manfeild is for.

And Deano, Hayden and the likes are normally a full minute adrift anyway.

Yup. Because we all know the best braggers are the silent type.

And you're as big as anyone. People ride how they'll ride, power to 'em. The fact tht you're on two wheels means you're already doing more right than wrong.

It just sure is cool to see a scruffy as fuck CBR600F4 with an even scruffier rider, teaching it.

Shot mate sorry to hear it. Hope you get it sorted soon

**StoneChucker** · 3rd January 2005, 22:21

Have you got your knickers in a twist again?

I didn't mean any sarcasm in any way, nor was I having a "go" at anyone, maybe I worded my post badly?

Who is the rider on the CBR600F4, and who is being taught? I don't always pay much attention to the specific bikes I ride with, but if you mean me, then hell yes I get taught, by just about everyone. My full licence is still green!

About the gravel/sand, I meant at speed, in a tight corner, with no warning. Am I wrong in thinking that this would mean a certain lowside? (and I'm not being sarcastic, I'm really asking!)

Stoney mate, you have never posted anything that would get my knickers in a twist, nor would I expect you to have a "go" at anyone.

I'm talking trash and I'm being a big head. No one's teaching anybody except their bikes.

Sorry for the confusion man, it wasn't meant to sound like I was taking you to task over it. (Although by re-reading I can see how it would've

)

Whoops! Sorry.

Good photos Mr B
I will be avoiding that line in future. I was on that road twice that day.

Commiserations Frosty and get that shoulder checked out

Did you know you can get ACC for accupunture now? (tic)

**StoneChucker** · 3rd January 2005, 22:32

I should've known that, and you're allowed to be a trash talking big head

Hey, there seems to be a semi-organised piss up one night this week. Keep your eyes peeled for definite date/time/place everyone

Seems strange, but it is amazing how often it happens... I was cruising when I came off too.
Bugger about the bin though Frosty, always something you can do without. Best focus on the positive bits, like the fact that you stopped ~100m up from where it might have all ended...

**2_SL0** · 4th January 2005, 08:43

S/C I agree. I have nothing against the peeps that go fast, I dont want to and dont have the ability. W/T, I maybe the only one in the dark here, but what is your new bike (the weapon) ?

Now there's a challenge......

Don't I know it. I'll only try and stay with that mofo when it's time to get another new bike. Looks like I'll be back to blaming tyre pressures etc etc to explain my ginger efforts over the hill.
