Now where was that question I asked many posts back?

We're talking about personal responsibility and standards of behaviour.
If I did stuff like that, i was the only person in danger and I accepted any responsibility for the consequences.

This is straight out of the Moronic Yoof handbook - "I can be a wanker 'cause it's someone's job to stop me."

They died a very long time ago man. That is why we have to have a speed limit, and laws for that matter.
While I agree with your view - we are both dreamers if we believe that it will ever come the fruition.
Responsibility and Behaviour are almost a matter of personal perspective these days. You will see countless threads here about speed, waving, cornering, counter steering.....hell there are threads here about if a 1000cc are too much engine.

Carver - sorry man, but while I think your stunt is awesome, and I hope you go far. I do also hope that you just take this one for the team. Have some cool of time off the road and come back twice as strong. Don't let being a part of MFSC cloud the fact that you are a skilled rider. I think you may go far on your own 2 feet.

Whay happened to personal responsibility and a moral code?

Read it again, he did exercise personal responsibility "according to his own moral code". IMHO.

Carver didn't bother anybody else!

He did it because he believed he had the skills to do it and he proved that he did!

There was no other obvious reason why he shouldn't do it!

I bet you do this all the time on your trail bike! (probably to a lessor degree though)

If it is such a big deal to the authorities, I said that they should fence it and post a sign!

Everything else you have said agrees with my opinion!

Carver had the balls "and" the skill to back himself, that's all the "authority" he needed!

The situation has changed now that the "authorities" have been "alerted" to the fact that it can and "will" be done, they don't want anybody else to try it!

Carver has set the standard, he did not commit a crime or even break an existing rule, he simply crossed the bridge in an unorthodox manner.

This is the crux of what I said!

If they "don't want others to try it", they should make a new rule, post a sign and or fence it off to prevent access.

Meanwhile Carver has done nothing wrong except take a risk (which he was obviously up for) and upset a lot of fuddy duddies who didn't think it was something that anybody should, or would do!

There is no existing legal or valid reason to punish Carver!

Plenty of fuddie duddies in this thread. Non of them have ever taken a risk on road or track, all of them have a flea up their collective arses about Carver!

Its been mentioned to me that Im trying to get this thread put in PD, sheesh I thought the current topic of breakfast was far more interesting than Carvers exploits

We have noticed that habititual behaviour of yours, yes. Having spouted your opinion you invariably attempt to have the discussion closed down. For someone so uninterested in Mr Carvers "exploits" you have spoken a lot about them. But , clearly, are very unwilling that anyone who disagrees with you should be able to speak in turn.

LOL "we" who is that the divine communtiy above everyone else?

There is 22 pages of people speaking in turn expressing their opinions as I did and have under the same rights and authorities as anyone else, rather I say to you that you perhaps dont like it if someone holds an opinion seperate to yours.

And besides if someone doesnt agree with me, then they are of course naturally wrong lol

True!

Funny isn't it, so many want to put Carver down!

Is it because (secretly) they feel threatened by him?

Obviously deep down, they must accept him as the better man!

Way to go Carver.

They, however, are not manoeuvering the thread into PD.

Actually that wasnt the intention, rather I was thinking that the thread was getting the same comments over n over.
