Mentor? - my fuckin arse.

I suspect that it is a forlorn hope that you will actually post up links to where I have even hinted at such a thing.
Go on...put up or shut up.

I read a man express the love and joy he gets from his family, from riding and life and his sadness at the loss of his son.

Genuine and sincere reflective thoughts about the joys and sadness of one guys life and the road he's traveled.

How on Earth did that turn into the cyber equivalent of a Bar room brawl.

Tis the standard reaction to 'that login', who has this pathetic need to accuse and blame motorcyclists for the impeding destruction of the world as we know it. It is a sickness, he won't take his meds and Dr MT won't make him. Personally, I think his hands should be superglued to his handlebars (inside his gloves, of course...gotta think of the safety angle) - then he can get out more and talk to people in person. Thence to be delivered of a lesson that will stick (try his KB postings in the flesh and see what happens).

My initial post in this thread was in direct response to the passage I quoted.

The idea that battered and bleeding bodies (and by implication - dead bodies) are something that should be happily accepted because the Joys of Motorcycling make it "worth it" is a concept that I will fight against till my last breath.

Don't like it? - Put me on ignore.

(I know none of you can though).

I get your drift most of the time, but I think sometimes YOU have to ignore the comment. The post was aimed at the joys , disregarding the consequences wasn't.

putting people on ignore is sort of like American foreign policy

Well, as usual yours truly just gets back from a hard days slog at work and finds that a thread that was meant for uplfifting and sharing ones joy of motorcycling has degenerated into a slinging match yet once again.

Me. I'm not fussed. I feel empathy for those that responded and were shot down in flames. Thanks for the awesome posts and the green...you know who you are.

Shit, I'm 52 years old. You get a fairly thick hide by then I can tell you

Katman, more people are killed and maimed in car accidents every year around the world than were killed in World war 1 and 2. Anyone that has an accident on a motorbike, more often than not does themselves in with virtually no other casualties in the majority of cases.

To ride a bike involves risk on a higher level than other pursuits and wether we choose to ride a bike instead of extreme snowboarding, skiing, hunting, motocross ot any other activity that puts the human frame at risk matter not one iota.

Every human with an ounce of life will push the boundaries in one form or another and the age in which we lives just means that the methods we employ are faster, quicker and more exciting.

If I had to stop the way I ride for fun when I am on my own or with others than I would toss my leathers, boots and gloves into a ditch and never ride again.

I confess to having a penchant for power and speed. I can't help it and nor can untold thousands of people around the world. Mate, I love riding and it gives me a real sense of peace, at one with the earth and the cosmos.

Maybe you have never found 'the zone". It's an awesome place to be and one you just want to visit over and over again.

Their is a real kinship with those that have been there.

Sure, I don't want to die before my time but there is only one in this universe that knows when that will be.

I have no problem with that - just take it off the fucking road.

Never gonna happen. The road is the most accessible place for people to get up to mischief.
Go and preach to boy racers and drunk drivers. They'd easily be causing more harm on the road than motorcyclists.

Doh! I just responded to your trolling...

www.ricerssuckcock.co.nz and www.fuckI'mpissedwhere'sthedemisterbutton.co.nz can take care of the them.

I'll concentrate on motorcyclists.

Love the honesty and truth of your comments Beyond, biking is a passion I have had for many years and I'm lucky enough to have a wife who is happy to share my passion on the sunnier days. This is a free country thank god and not the nanny state some clearly want it to become and as long as I can get out and ride my bike within my limits and enjoy the experience of being in that zone some of us know exists the I bloody well will. Good on ya mate, look forward to the next video. KG
