    That is what it's all about. Pushing boundaries is part of the process we all learn by (that is a indisputable fact). I think it's great that there is a bit of info made available about the process and consequences so that we can better understand and manage it.

    Hitler was a great book burner and so were the Chinese... obviously some peeps here want to live in the dimly lit past. They should get rid of their computers as there is far too much uncontrolled content on the interwobble for them to be comfortable and then the rest of us wouldn't have to put up with their tall poppy fixations.

    Alternatively they could get off their arses and write a version that they feel is appropriate and offer it as a constructive alternative instead of engaging in nonconstructive knocking of other peoples attempts to help others. That's what a good mentor would do. Lets see what you're made of Katman.. are you up to it or are you only wanting to appear to be a know all do nothing nay sayer?

    This is just another "us motorcyclists are special" claptrap.

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Heh! A truly nobble effort.

    I have no issue with the Mentors. I'm sure that most of you are nice open minded and constructive people.

    jees...most of us would be happy if Katman would just answer some of the endless questions we have asked him. He should be a politician...always manges to answer a question with a question....
    An answer occasionally would be nice, Katman...

    Show me where I advised anyone to ride like a cock.

    I believe that that is exactly what I said.

    Anyone regularly pushing more than about 70% of their "limit" on the road is gonna make a mistake or hit a "booby trap" and suffer serious injury. Just ask the guy who started this thread.
    I never put a % on the margin for error. What ever ones riding skills are, at no point should a rider do more than scratch at the surface of their current limits. A nibble is all it takes to raise ones skills from what they were. Baby steps, if you will, but necessary to develop.

    Or is it only motorcyclists that are special enough to be allowed that right?
    You seem to have misread MTRSs post reguarding country roads. Do try to keep up, there's a nice boy.

    There has been so many...almost as many as I've had hot dinners.

    Pick any one you like...go on, I dare you!
