So argument == valid

(What argument? I've lost track of who's arguing about what, and why)

All I know is that the arguments on here seem inversely proportionate to the amount of riding that occurs.

Whenever we have a club ride we have something to talk about for ages and random-arse arguments are less prominent.

This sunday the weather looks to be ok maybe. Can't be fucked organising it somebody else have a go sometime.

Gn safety features? What Gn safety features? We left the tank to rust so that if it went for a slide the crust would protect the tank

(man I

that bike...)

Name the safety features i've skimped on, that GN has quality tires, pads, the brakes were done every 6 months and even the fork oil has been changed

HAHAHAHA.

These "quality tyres" being that old pair of shinkos you rode on for years, that you were impressed "never ever seemed to wear down" - and resulted in your crashing coming to a stop at some lights?

And "even" the fork oil has been changed - now that it isn't being used anymore?

This being the same bike that you laughed and told Andrew "Yeah that's what it does" when he told you of his inability to stop for a red light going down a hill, and was forced to run it?

Try again next time.

But this was the GN that could climb trees. Pure awesomeness. Like a favourite great uncle who is really decrepid and crumbly but tells wicked yarns in between phlegmy smoky coughs and never seems to kark it no matter how close he comes.

I am, and I'm dealing with/to it - you elected me and within 5 minutes i had a club stance not-supporting (rather than anti) open face helmets

this was about parking in a stupid place - not helmets, which YOU brought up

either way we'd be providing them business; we still have to buy a helmet, don't we?
It's in the best interests of the motorcycle industry to ensure repeat business - killing customers isn't going to acheive that

not only could i not stop for a red light, the clutch slipped so bad i couldn't accelerate through it, either

and it was fucking awesome - i actually had mothers giving scared looks and protecting their children while i rode that

tell you what, its nothing to do with what they ride, today i saw, on albert street, a gsxr rider (600 or 1000) and, pause for a comma, he did a uturn infront of a, turning car!, !, !.

the car was able to stop (fully stop) in time, and there was no accident, but i was left going wtf,

people like this should get the tickets not people like me who go 120k/hr.

I tell you who was the one closer to the deaths, it wasnt me.
