I have learnt now to be careful what I say on here, everyone has something to say... Quiet funny really..It doesn't take much monkeymsea, for the frenzy to start once the burly has been laid.
I have seen it happen a few times on here, where, all it takes is one person to start the jibbing and others just jump in for the sake of it.
Where you went wrong, was to post that all that shit that happened previously...and thats all anyone will concerntrate on given the chance.
What I didnt see was those Mentors that posted, give you any idea on how to correct what happened. Maybe you got a pm?
Either way, stick to facts in future and ya cant go wrong....most of the time....
Where can I get a powerthirst?

I will have a crack at this....
''Coming into puke just cruising. I was following thani when the car in front of her slams on the brakes. Thani slams on the brakes also. All I remember seeing is her rear tyre lock up then look down and see my front tyre lock up (I think). Next thing I knew I was on the ground and bits of my faring are all over the road. We then dislodged my bike from thani's and put them to the side of the road.''
Firstly....Your following distance needs attention.
Keep enough room between you and another bike to give yourself an out if something goes wrong.
Next...You reaction time is not good.
Following distance and position help with your reaction time
ie: you see more if you can see.
And then...Your position when following another bike on the road needs looking at.
Dont ride directly behind another bike, if something goes wrong, you will be involved. Ride to the outer right if possible at any time.
Emergency or progressive braking is a skill you need to learn.
Have you ever done a Basic Handling Course?
If not, then I suggest you get onto it, and practice the emergency braking, it has helped me on two occassions.
There are those around that can explain things a little better if you give them the time.

Yet the fact remains, his following distance was fine.
These points are all covered already, what is the purpose of reiterating, the information. I will add information where it is missed - I did.
Short simple and too the point, two words, all that were needed.
However, I suspect by now the message is well and truely through and no argument against will be raised.
If so mission accomplished, if not then they are simply too thick and need more time/accidents to work it out.
Forum whore
Then what was this whole plea for sympathy about then..???
Forum whore
Actually, I would be inclined to argue that his reaction time was *too* good.
Panic braking, and emergency braking are two quite different things.
One of the most common errors of novices (especially young ones with real fast reactions), is OMG WTF , reaction grab a handful of front brake and slam it on hard as. All done before the thinking part of the brain catches up. And by the time the thinking stuff works out "Oh, shit , maybe not THAT hard", the front wheel's locked.
What is wanted is not a fistful of brake, but rather a steady progressive squeeze, governed by thought not blind reaction.
Easier for us old dodderers, since by the time our knarled old hands have tremblingly reached the lever our thinking brains have had time to fight their way through the alzheimic fog and shriek "Not too hard. Modulate. Modulate". The braking distance may be a metre longer, but the bike stays upright.
That 0.2 of a second quicker on the brake lever can be dearly bought.
