Absolutely, and if you're the fastest? Gloat copiously.

Unless you're gay, then we'll let you away with it.

I know, I saw You abruptly adjust your line mid corner when confronted with the sight of my oncoming hilux in the gorge last weekend. the guy on the YZF did it too. good to see the survival instincts are working well. lol

Couldn't have been me, I ONLY do that when in the middle of a BIG group. Besides, what were you doing on our side oh tosser who can't drive

I was recently given permission to post about such an event from a certain angle and even with this I could quite justify putting anything up, whats the point ?

I will say however those of us that know each other I believe share a certain kind of brotherhood (sisterhood) and do want to know if someone has a situation, the point of this is so you can help a friend in need if you can, and this is certainly one of the best things about KB, people keen to help and support fellow bikers right, however other factors come in to it and thats were caution should prevail, ie this is a public forum and you dont know who is on here, is a insurance assesor or two here ? how much detail can they find out on here which could seriously comprimise a claim.
What if criminal charges were brought against a member would this forum be evidence ?
At the end of the day its best not to say to much and as 6Chris6 rightly said leave it up to the person involved to speak out, and when he does be careful what you say.

that is very true, it is afterall the crashee that will feel the effects of a rejected claim as well as the damage to themselves, both physically and their pride. From me and most others though, sympathy is all I feel, it's inevitable that we will all come off at some stage, and not one of us plans it that way.

I can keep up most of time, and preform rule 2 reasonbly well but not like death/Whitetrash/sam to name a few. And i think its fairly safe to say i managed an A+++++ on rule 3.

Yea - Friday 32

, today it's 31

, BUT it's blowing like 40thousand barstuds out there. Not good for riding.

Couldn't find the Weatherbitch thread so had to hijack this one. Sorry guys

**magnum** · 8th January 2005, 15:09

sounds fair enough chris. :spudwave:

**2_SL0** · 8th January 2005, 21:06

I fail on all 3.

**avgas** · 8th January 2005, 21:22

hmmmm.... i must knocked my head cos i cant seem to do anything as well as i used to. Could prob keep up - but its completely up to the bike when it wants to lift the front (hense me being low in the revs in corners).
Oh i have to agree here, If ya bin it - no mockery till the binner can laugh bout it. Otherwise we may as well all go buy cages and become

racers.
I know what it feels like (like most here) when you fuck up someones weekend ride.
Damn right TS should get pissed off too, i would be.
I mean my bikes feel like my babies, if i hurt them - imagine the fuckn guilt. Then have some wanker calling you some lower form of rider.
Real motorcyclist no where to draw the line

**JohnBoy** · 11th January 2005, 06:22
