Did I make a differance

Show them the pictures of that Aussie guy who lost it on his gixxer (it's in one of the threads here

tried looking for that but cant find it..... they often walk past so yeah, I could show them the bike and then the pic

Maybey it would pay to take your bike out and show that your not just an old fuddy duddy,(probably what they are thinking) (no offence intended) :spudwave:

and take them for a ride or show them how to do some shit safely?????



in my experience teenagers react better to this method than the your going to loose your life speech.....mho...

sorry to quote myself but what you did is better than sitting on your arse waiting for them to drive into the back of a parked car

Kudos for giving it a go......

You did the right thing, no doubt about it. I agree with Duck, they probably took more notice of you since you were riding, not pulling up raging in cage.

Yeah those kdx's are mean I was on my mates 200 or 250 and it was the most fun ive ever had on a bike To wheelie it you just have to acclerate hard. Although when showing someone how safe it was to ride it I poped a wheelie (by accident) and crashed broke the front brake lever too, so had to fork out a whole ten bucks for a new one.... at least now im part owner of his bike hehe


I'd be too scared to take it 100ks down the road with no helmet on :S those bike a too powerful..... now to find a 600 dirt bike.......

[Madguitarist!]

Some of those kids can be downright irritating....but an injured/dead rider is not what anyone wants to see regardless of age!! Afterall, accidents knows no prejudice or bias. Good job for trying mate!

In the US CBR forum I'm on they regularly post pics and vids of accidents just as a reminder to everyone abt how fragile we are and how much more we have to be careful to enjoy this great hobby/pastime/lifestyle!!

Unfortunatly maturity and young guys don't go together

Before you can be old and wise, you first have to be young and stupid!
(or so it seems.....)

Good on ya Dangerous - if they take on even a bit of what you said it will have been worthwhile

Sadly I think I have these pics. A freind who is convinced I am a nutcase emailed them to me. I have looked at them a couple of times, but frankly now I just avoid them. If you want them I can email them. There is no way I am posting them here as they are extreemly graphic, so before I email them I think you should be warned- they go like this:
Photo 1: burnt trees etc on the side of the road leading up to a corner
Photo 2: an unidentifable bike on the side of the road with a pile of body parts on the ground next to it- trail of blood on the road where they have dragged the torso
Photo 3: a nice close veiw of the dismembered torso, with the legs and hips near by. Some internal organs are clearly visible, the top of the riders head seems to disappear into the road...

Tell them that you took the photos and this was one of your mates and you had to help drag his body parts...

tony...................... ya know................. I think they would just respond by saying "cooooooool giz another look" :spudwhat:

[TonyB]

Yeh, you're probably right
Didn't slow me down at all after seeing it....I'd be going backwards otherwise

Yes that's true unfortunatly.
It's just a nasty price to pay, injury or death and not necessarily your own...
