Warning- for when you up the pace.

[beyond]

Well I agree with you bro. I actually did exactly what you warn about.

Maybe you are right. You make valid points. But I stand by my statement - get on the track and do the development, then put it in practice on the road.

A trackday is only a hundred bucks. Do it.


Steve

Totally agree. Wish everyone would spend a hundy and learn some valid points... I really do.

[beyond]

Is that because you might be shown up to be only average?

Don't care if I'm average or below average. Just enjoy my riding at my pace mate.
I nearly did a track day the other Sunday except the weather was shite and I wanted a good dry track for a fang but will look at doing the next one. Come if you're keen and let me see your above average riding.

Quite frankly Paul, the likes of you wanking on about pushing your boundries and finding 'the zone' is what causes a large percentage of Motorcycling's accidents.

So, a post on a web forum, by a member of kiwibiker, beyond in this instance, will cause a large percentage of motorcycle accidents? "Dont be silly darling".

People ride their own ride, whether they are see posts on KB or view youtube videos.

I have watched many videos on here and youtube, of riders doing shit I would never do, and have never been once tempted to do the same. I also read widely on this forum. I am yet to read anything that will alter the way I ride.

This was a really silly post of yours Katman. Blew some credibility out of the water. Go and read what you posted again.

[Katman]

You on your own again tonight mate? Wanking seems to be at the forefront of your vocabulary but FYI I'm happily married so don't have to wank.

Don't make me post up a selection of your posts showing your penchant for wanking on about pushing your limits.

[normajeane]

Sounds too technical for me. What i know is if it feels right, i do it. Wind in your hair and all that. Perhaps I am showing my age or something. i do know that there are a few good riders out there in KB and the real world that if they whizzed past me i would not attempt to follow them, even though i may have tried. Life is short but you get less game as you get older (at times!) Still feeling the thrill of a little more acceleration is akin to your heart beating faster (linked??) and i know that i like it!

Nah you are so wrong Mom. Tomorrow I am heading to Hamilton (which is quite boring I hear) and riding my Harley over some kick arse bridge thing

Just because I read it can be done on KB. Give us people credit Katman - we read - we apply or not.

Dig them up by all means. It merely shows my passion and enjoyment of riding but doesn't make me a wanker. That's something you seem to know more about than me

Thats just you though.

Many people will read the tips, and go try it. Not wise IMO.. Not without an instructor on their tail providing constant feedback.

Even racing pocketbikes provides important lessons.

Now thats real funny Just don't go getting your name in the Waikato Times alright.

Your whole philosophy is based on placing an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff.

That's a fucked up idea.

Quantified: I don't mean they go riding from a real low level to full throttle nut case in one go.

I do mean they stretch their legs a little to see how much more differently their bike handles as the pace creeps up a bit. Gradual steps or step only so they know what happens and what changes. This is safe to do on a wide road with no other traffic around and if someone doesn't want to go on the track, this is the best way to learn without being thrown in the deepend.

Incorrect.... my whole philosophy.. if you really care to read my posts correctly.... are to prevent needing an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff in the first place.

In simpler terms... as you seem to have trouble understanding (might be all that wanking) is that to be forewarned is to be prepared and that knowledge gives power, the power not to do the wrong thing when the chips are down.

[2wheeldrifter]

A lot of people don't know this when they first start to push their bikes which is why we have so many accidents.

Yeah that's true I guess, you have to lay it out for the lowest common denominator.

No, if that were the case you'd be suggesting that motorcyclists should always ride well within their limits - rather than pushing them.

[MadDuck]

Can you present some numbers to substantiate this claim? I would be intrigued to see them.

I know I should give it up but I just cant. Do you care to respond to my question katman?
