While for you it may be a piss take, perhaps try to understand that for some, its far from that. Plenty of the experienced bikers (and even those not experienced) have attended accidents, even fatalities. A decent portion of those have even attended their mates fatalies, perhaps held them in their arms while they died etc.

When someone perceived to be a relative newbie posts up about how it completely wasn't their fault, nothing to learn etc, it worries those people. They post with the simple of aim of trying to prevent another statistic (it doesn't have to be the OP, even someone reading the thread). Plenty have seen newbies post up, tried to assist them, and then they do have more serious incidents or end up dead. Hence the reason they take it seriously.

If you haven't experienced any of that, good for you. Personally, I find the hardest part is looking at the loved ones try to deal with it or the innocents killed, who truly had no control (children etc).

I see your point and I agree. And I do everything I can to prevent crashing in any way!(shall I wite a novel about it?) I have learnt from this. And I do value all the advice but its the same thing over and over again. They've all jumped in for the kill and want to convert me into a good little biker who follows every bit of advice everyone gives. thats how it seems anyway.
I stopped taking it seriously when people started taking the piss out of me and they're continuing to do so.....
Now I just can't be bothered explaining myself and what they have assumed(which is wrong) to everyone. why should I?(yes I'm stubborn.it doesnt mean I don't listen though)
They can think what they want to think.

I know Ngongotaha village well, you need eye's up your arse going through there, pure cow cockie mentality. Stay alert, your country needs lerts.

[vifferman]

Yeah, strange as it may seem, so do I.
I actually grew up in Rotorua, and delivered furniture all over the area for a couple of years, so I know my way around. The drivers are still kinda vague and casual, so you need to keep alert for unexpected manouevres.
