    Eh? Short circuit somewhere here I think. Lets see if I can connect the blue to neutral and the brown to live.
    I've just clocked over 60,000kms on two 1400's which I've ridden at a rate that eats rear tyres at around 4,000kms. Justify my riding?

    I just love riding. I just love riding the way I want to ride and I don't think I need to justify the way I ride to anybody, same as you don't need to justify to me the way you ride or why you feel the need to wank.

    Each to their own..... good thing about the human race is that we are all different... thank God for that!

    Everyone has their own manner of riding, but we all face the same dangers, a word of caution to the less experienced can't be considered justification for any particular form of riding..

    It's just a hint and a warning, and no one is experienced enough as a biker to afford to not be cautious.

    Fck me I can do all of this at 100km/h will the wonders of the modern age never cease

    Facts

    People in the Maldives Islands cant drive

    Indian, cant drive

    Rednecks defiantly cant drive

    God is English http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWKy4RHf5tQ

    The speed limit in NZ is 100km/h

    many accidents happen well under the speed limit

    and finally

    Driving / riding is much more than the control of the bike ........ try reading the traffic


    Carry on

    I am married and and if was for wanking my sex life would be non existent

    I may of drunk far to much beer tonight, but anyway, Katman, I have a simple couple of questions for you?

    Why do people ride motorcycles?

    If you removed the percentage of people that ride because of the buzz they get from riding, would the industry survive in its current form?


    I hear lots of people raving on about riding safe and doing this and that, yet these very same people depend on this percentage of people that they constantly lecture to, to make a living. If we were to all ride so sedately we would not require all the safety gear that shops sell, we would not want or need the new bikes, fancy exhausts, performance components. Lets be honest the track users in NZ, DO NOT support the motorcycle industry in NZ, it relies on the very people you constantly harass, pull your head out your ass mate. Without this group there would not be an industry.
    Why the hell do you think such motorcycles as the GSXR are manufactured.

    I'm a bit perplexed at the angst in this thread but assume there are historic issues.

    I can't see anything wrong with Beyond's point. We do ride fast. Nothing wrong with pausing and reflecting on the gamut of consequences.

    I'm sure track days are a good thing but.......3 hours on a beautiful smooth surface with everyone going the same way......?? Real world roads are rough, uneven, corners decrease in radius, grit, and there is other traffic.

    Why do you think our ACC levy is so high?

    My livelihood depends on live motorcyclists.

    I think you missed the point, I believe you should raise your concerns with Suzuki, Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha, oh bugger it, the whole damn motorcycle industry they have obviously been targeting the wrong market.

    Either that or I strongly recommend you get out of motorcycles and take up lawn bowls.

    I've read your crap for a number of years and to be honest, its generally just that, CRAP.

    What is your profession, I am truly intrigued?

    oh and to answer your question:

    Because motorcycles are deemed dangerous, which can be validated by the previous years high ratio of accidents, did you not know this, damn dude you better take up lawn bowls.

    The erogenous zone is on the track.
    Personal opinion only"Latest sports bikes are to easy to ride fast therefore are not fun to ride at moderate speeds".
    Ill quote myself since no one else did.

    ACC levy is high cause those who think they can Rossi the road all the time meet up with Sunday cage driver at some point and cant react quick enough for the speed that their bike could travel a split second earlier.
    Excessive speed is like a lottery.Your number come up at some point.The faster you go the bigger combo ticket you have purchaced.
