    Thanks for that Jim, I was in Sydney most of the week and missed the server crash so I wasn't suffering any extra KB withdrawal. I am suffering bike withdrawal though and must get out there again shortly.
    Cheers

    Unhappy Bird strike!

    Wow, and here's me worrying about the Magpie dive bombing me as I went for a walk yesterday! Now I've got to worry about them when I'm on the scoot! Cheers.
    When you take thousands of photos of your bike does the light from the flash weaken the plastic?

    Six pages and not one person asking "what the fuck were you doing at 240 km/h on a public road and then coming on here and telling us all about it".

    The double standards on this site sometimes beggar belief.
    The thread flaming crashe was a prime example of this.
    Only double standards ??? i'm sure there are more than just 2

    Everybody opens the throttle up now and again in carefully chosen places, some people open it up all the time, do stupid things continuously & are forever getting into trouble, (ie ZeroIndex) obviously Spankme isn't one of those otherwise people would of said something. If your not a well known idiot then your not going to get treated like one, if he posted up this kind of thing on a regular basis that would change I would imagine.



    Now seriously is this shit stirrer going to get the ban stick, everyone of his 117 posts is nothing short a waste of space
    As it happens he does actually have a VALID POINT

    im not too sure on bees... dont think ive had one yet. but large flies... hmmm. you dont really feel it. the small sandflys you feel, specially when riding through a cloud of them. those hurt like buggery. the larger the bug, the less it hurts.
    i kinda get a delayed reaction when something hits me. all my senses sorta go mute [my hearing is most noticible. i go almost deaf for a second when impact happens] and then by the time thats over, the pain is as well. never actually feel it.
    i find a cold burst of rain hurts more, cos it numbs the skin.

    mind you... i have had a bee hit my knee at over 100k... damn near jumped off the back of the bike, lol. same for stones.

    i think bees crack when they hit the visor cos the visor is solid. a human face is rather less solid, so nothing to really crack it. [though, at speed, it all feels the same i guess!]

    the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.

    Clearly you should never let a valid point get in the way of one's personal prejudices.

    Trouble is EJKDDORAI, if it had been a headshot, things would more than likely have been a completely different story - probably followed by another 'Biker Down' thread.
