Warning- for when you up the pace.

Your lack of answers for the other questions has certainly clarified something for me. Thanks.

You mean the last question that you added after I'd posted?

What they think of what I say to them is entirely their business.

Look, having a comfort zone means that you think that when you're in it that you are not going to be hurt or are at least less likely to be, something that is impossible to know sans crystal ball.

Sorry, motorcycles and nature and that fuckwit who has had too much to drink don't take your comfort zone into account when they take you out.

It's ridiculous to apply that thinking to everyone and justify speeding by working yourself into the thought that as long as you're prepared it will all be OK.

Some people will be prepared and will be OK, some people will be prepared and be sliced in half by a telephone pole.

You're quite right but missing the point mate. It is better to be prepared in order to help minimise any possible negative problem. The zone is not a place of safety and you can be riding at 10kmh and be taken out or killed anyway. I don't think anyone on here is going to accept that if you speed and do certian things you are going to be okay.... to accept that on a motorbike means we have just moved from the realm of life to fantasyland.

The way I understand it, if he was one dimensional then he would be a point right? Please tell me that doesn't mean that he has one....

Ooooh...you are right. I meant to say 2 dimensional, both sides being the same. Whereas the rest of us 2 dimensional critters at least have differing sides.
There's something about a 1 note song. Isn't there?

And some people don't have "zones" and should not be encouraged into thinking they do or can.

I disagree! Strongly actually!

Everyone has a zone, the place that gives them ultimate pleasure and that really cool feeling on 2 wheels. Now your zone and mine may well be different, in fact I will go as far as to say they will be completely different.

Picture a learner, first bike and a brand new permit to go and learn how much fun motorcycling can be. Scarey shit some may say. Others blast out from the start and dont actually find their own zone without making a huge mistake, possibly one that means pain. Pain can come in many forms, wallet by way of fines, demerit points for breaches and other naughtyness, and even physical pain from injuries sustained.

So, back to the learner without the balls to the wall kick start here for a moment. They are not confident about hill starts. They are hard to achieve without a lot of practise for some. This learner has several hills to negotiate on their way to work or school or what have you. Each day they struggle, overthinking the hows and what should I's of making that hill start without stalling and holding up other traffic. One day it "clicks" for them. Instant hillstart, each and everytime. It happens without effort or thought, all of a sudden they are in the zone. They feel so fantastic! Such a cool feeling!

Dont ever be lulled into thinking the "zone" is anything to do with speed, or being a wanker on the road. The ZONE is all about being in a place on your ride that makes you feel at one with your bike, and the road you are travelling.

5 questions, I added one, you answered one. The silence on the ones you didnt answer was interesting.

That statement above "What they think of what I say is entirely their business" is a little out there for attracting aftersales/follow up customer business. I would hazard a guess your business is not in Auckland, and possibly has little competition.

i'd heard you like little boys but unfortunately i'm probably a little old for you!

Not last time I checked. Actually he is a very mature person with a lot of responsibility who has recently faced some severe trials which you probably would never know anything about. He has come through a better man as a result and is a good careful rider who does not take risks.

But you wouldn't know because even though you have been invited to actually meet us for a ride you never show up. Why would that be I wonder... cos you might find out we are actually quite normal and ride because we enjoy it and then you'll have to find someone else to throw shit at online.

hes the grumpy short arse with the only bike shop in Taupo. I got a rear tyre in there once, grumpy didn't have a sense of humour face to face either.... a right miserable cnut.

No i didn't, you weren't known to me then or rather i didn't know of your online persona. Nothing to do with balls...
