automatic exile if an smc member does not attend.

bud.. u've just sentenced yourself to be dismembered! where the fuck were u today man! perfect weather. fuel cost total'd up to about $30(max for me, so i'm thinking 45 for u, tops). u missed one kick ass ride!

I reckon for inexperienced riders it can be good to follow a more experienced person to show them lines and also entrance speeds (given that the experienced person knows that the newbie is following and rides accordingly).
It gives the newbie a bit more confidence when approaching the corner because they can be sure that the corner can easily be done at that speed (given of course still that the lead person is riding appropriately).

mate i reckn niche is the man for putting me behind toto after my little cross lane incident. toto's speed is good, and his line is awesome! a slight late apex. i followed him for the better half of the loop and felt so comfortable on the turns. that's the sorta line i wanna be able to see and use when riding myself! toto bud. i cant wait to do another ride with u. if u don't mind, i'd follow u again! that was a graet line! towards the end, i was falling into a pattern, and each corner got easier to take. that was a great ride mate. u made it all the better for me! it was one bloody steep learning curve, and i'm glad a went through it... now to practice that sorta line more so i can get better!

fucking sick thanks people.

bomma thanks again for your hospitality bro

haha... it was! u guys said it! how was the barbie! sorry i couldn't make it. was a bit tied up.

haha, the funniest thing was i wrapped my cell phone up twice in plastic or tissues, leaving teh camera part open and clear, so i could make a recording of my first ever corro. stupd idea! at auto barn i taped it up to the dash of my bike, and didn't realise i stopped recording at some point and so was riding with a phone taped above me headlight for no good reason! i'm gonna fashion a case/mount for it, for the next ride. lets see what i can do! haha.... i doubt it'd be any better than jaffa's camera mount, but hey, it's better than nothing, and wort the try.

thanks loads niche! this was one bloody fun ride! i learnt loads! and can't wait to go out and do some slow speed practicing of lines some time soon!

Which one? :slap:

hehe.... just that township where u two on your vfr's shot out ahead of the group. (so, it was just after that stint where i followed u). - hahaha, passing that truck doesn't count as i had a clean view of the road ahead from where i was, and so took the open stretch as my chance.

haha... the first part of the ride was full of sweepers, so and i didn't expect the tightness of the corners later on. so i completely mis judged that first tight turn, was in too high a gear, and couldn't pull the bike round enough so just figured cross over to the outside of the oncoming lane (as i was already half way there - i thought it'd be a faster way out of the line of traffic). - not the smartest move, i admit, but there after i made sure i didn't screw up again.... hehe, and that's also when i was told to follow toto

i can't wait for the next ride tho! that was such a fun! i just wanna get out there and practice more!

[BANZAI]

niche? you mean Nish?

[Zim_Invader]

niche? you mean Nish?

haha... well if we wanted to be all exact n stuff, haha, we could start typing it as nischal chakravati, but that just takes too long... nish is fine, but too many ppl already use it. nisch is a bit much, so i decided to stick with niche.. i just type it differently. haha dael with it ()
