Ride with me (if you dare.... muh wha wha wha whaaa) Seen 20 bins now...

[Macstar]

Hey crew

Last week saw my total encountered on-road m/c bins hit 20! No, I haven't personally crashed 20x what I mean is, over the last 3 years of riding I have either personally witnessed, or been just ahead or behind a rider who has binned i.e. arrived on the scene moments later.

Yep, I've witnessed some great bins and 1 or 2 bewildering ones. Amazingly, the worst injury out of these 20 bins has only been a broken arm or wrist (including my own once) and the odd-concusion.

Actually come to think of it, three SMC club members make up 5 or 6 of those witnessed bins.... YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

Anyway, so setting all that aside... who's keen to come riding with me this weekend? Muh wha wha wha!

I reckon I've clocked up close to 80,000 bike Kms in those 3 years so statistically speaking there's only one bin per 4000km, so you should be ok... but I can't make any promises - guess you'll just have to have your sh&*t sorted before you come out to play?!

Come ride with the Macstar

[Macstar]

Oh and for the record - I don't sabotage my riding buddies' brakes before setting off and as those who ride with me will hopefully agree - I am not a loose cannon (have only binned once on road - though granted that was a major f$@k up!).

Anyway, anyone keen???

You sound like my bloody mother when she says she's never had an accident .... her eyesight's stuffed so she can't see all the carnage she left behind. You wouldn't be making them all brake to avoid you and falling down now would you?

Nicely put Nah, in a nut shell - group rides often end in tears cause people ride beyond their abilities or lose focus - no matter what rider brief you give at the beginning. Problem is that riding solo just aint as fun or eventful...

Shame you didn't see mine

To be perfectly honest... I believe its the people you are riding with.

I think I have done one ride with you, the one where bomma crashed, and I saw several people riding completely out of their comfort zone. One was more interested in the person following (me) than his own riding, resulting in him riding all over the road. I was on the verge of pulling over when he just about went off the road trying to let me past, so I passed leaving large amounts of room.

Either stop riding with them, or try to lower the testosterone of the ride, helping everyone.

Another ride I went one, two crashed on the same corner one had crashed earlier, because they were following to close/not riding sensibly and couldn't stop in time when the ones in front slowed down. Nothing pisses me off more (and ruins my ride) than picking up bikes/riders and sorting out transport etc when people should have been able to avoid the incident all together.
