Straight-lining corners

[Blackbird]

I was unaware that "intelligent discussion" was a requirement of a KB thread?
Are the moderators aware of this?

Hahahahaha - nice one Pritch! I think the intelligent discussion stopped at about mid-point

I wonder if straight lining is a habbit for this guy? and doing it on auto pilot, I would have been right pissed if this guys lack of riding ability was to have screwed my w/e up.

Depending on how remote the area was it needn't necessarily

Always one bad apple spoils the straightlining mana

Think you'll find there's more than one bad apple out there.

Did a bit of 'straight-lining' today - almost head-on into a roadside bank, don't think I'll try it again.

You should have bought a bike that goes around corners

There wasn't a centreline - had there been one I would have been on the wrong side of it, yep, we can ALL screw up at times - sadly some don't survive the screw-up....and some don't learn from it.

I used to have a copy of the British Police Motorcycle Handbook (whatever it was called exactly) and it said that drivers who had recently been involved in an accident were statistically more likely to have a similar accident in the future than other road users.

The reason given for this is that they are all such good drivers they don't see any need to learn from their misadventures.

Nothing about the behaviour of New Zealand motorists leads me to expect anything different in this country.

So SD, maybe you could change that to "most don't learn from it".

At least you're in one piece
