Knee on ground on public road

[mark247]

at all the bravado and testosterone

Well if i didnt have testosterone i think there would be a huge problem, i am a male and all...

But in saying that, I am the greatest ever at everything.

If I got me knee down I would ruin my pants! (inside and out) Fok that shit. I can't afrord new pants. I hang off the opposite side of the bike just to be different.

Though you do a pretty good tom impersonation.

Bring that dirty old coal burner of yours to Manfeild on the 16th sonny. See what's what then

Make you a deal, if I can get within four seconds of your best qualifying lap, with me on the fizzer, we'll swap bikes for the rest of the day.

there are some corners where u can get ur knee down and not speed remember u dont hve to ride to the recomended speed limit around corners and its a fun way of passing the time on a long trip

I reckon there is a formula for recommended speed around corners. Recommended speed x 2 + 10km/h. So a nice 60 is safely negoiated at 130...... as long as you take the right line and you dont exceed the speed limit of course.

I think trying to ride to a rule like that, will get you in a lot of trouble.

Sorry Drew, but after 25 years riding I'm still here with an unblemished record. That includes crashes and de-merit points. So what if I can go around corners that fast........ thats one of the reasons we ride bikes isnt it?

I'm not saying dont do it, totally your choice, but others with a lesser skill level, and bike might get well into shit. There are several corners around that I certainly wouldn't go round, with the formula you use, and I'm no novice myself.

Are you saying you can get round at that speed under normal circumstances, or you that can be doing that speed and then stop when you find the road's blocked immediately on the other side?

everyone is a hero.
He can probably do it on the back wheel and still stop, with a magnificent perfectly executed 11:45 stoppy, on loose gravel, in the wet with a herd of cows baying at his heels.

have only just read this original thread and the Letter to Tom attachment mentioned earlier...

That Letter to Tom.. What an absolute pearler!! If it isn't compulsory reading for all bikers, not just the newbies, then fark me...

Gotta spread more love before praising the Pritch again....

[mark247]

Letter was a good read, but was way to over the top for what was really the case. Cracks me up how seriously some people take the internet!

But besides that, it was a good read.
