The zone!

[Grubber]

I'm wondering do you go into a social situation with this attitude!

If you do I'm surprised you're still living...seriosuly, you sound like you've got one hell of a bad attitude.

Apparently he doesn't "make friends very well".
Does this surprise you at all.

Questioning is one thing but you come across as quite scathing and you seem to be personally attacking another.

When someone postulates an opinion or fact you don't agree with, you immediately attack the person. Then you don't have to defend your position, discuss anything or even consider that the other person has something of merit to offer.
In sport it is known as playing the man, not the ball. Red cards usually follow.

well getting back to this zone thing...for me...its' about getting every corner just right, getting my flow on...crusiing with my music, smooth lines, easy manouvering....having an aweosme ride....to me that's what the zone is. The place I go to when I'm alone on my bike, no kids, no pressure, just me, my bike and the road (oh and a full tank of gas)

You made the claim below in this thread... answer it in this thread or admit you are full of shit.

Oh, I see....I didn't quote your post directly preceding that one of mine. This one. Which is where the off topic started.
Shame on me for not pointing that out sooner.

Unfortunately, if you condense his post down to this..........

It is a place that causes you to break the rules,
to reach past your normal boundaries and allow you
to ride past your fears.
It is reached when you practice and practice and
ultimately reach a point on a ride where every corner
is taken perfectly, without error, where the envelope
is pushed and you don't even know you are pushing it.
It is when you ride a road hard but feel like you
were on a Sunday afternoon jaunt but your senses are
buzzing and you know you just went through that section
of highway, a lot quicker and without effort like never
before.

........it becomes apparent that Beyond is talking about quite a different interpretation of The Zone.

therein lies the difference in all of us...we each have our own interpretation of everything....that is what makes us all unique and makes the world such an interesting place. It's also a matter of respecting those differences.

that is what makes us all unique and makes the world such an interesting place.

It also makes the world a place where the easily swayed are easily seduced into placing themselves at increased risk.

and that is where my old friend 'personal responsibility' comes into play. shame not many (if any) in the world today know what the hell that means.

And therein lies the problem.

where are these easily seduced people? I wish to find an aesthetically pleasing female to take back to my 'zone' for a 'bone', if you know what I mean.

Seriously guys, lighten up! Theres a lot more risky things on the internet than a bunch of people discussing the awesomeness of motorcycling

Would you treat so lightly a boy racer waxing lyrical about the awesomeness of drifting from one corner to the next on a public road and saying "but it's all cool man, 'cos I'm in the zone"?

iirc nobody here is using the zone as a justification to do illegal shit so I fail to see the relevance.

You mean you choose not to see the relevance because you would then start to understand what I've been saying throughout this thread.
