We all know Katman is a riding god an would never ride dangerously or bring motorcycling into disrepute. unless hes on the coro drinkin an speeding that is
He spends hours trying to get HIS message across I for once was agreeing with him i.e if you tell someone they are a fucken cock enough maybe he will one day sitdown an relise, He is not showing any respect to a biker that is no longer here
with another 7 page long katman knows best thread
Cunt = usefull. thanks

Just because someone is either a biker or dead or a combination of both doesn't automatically mean they should be respected
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

I dont like to disrepect anyone that I know nothing about. I know enough about katmans message to know I dont respect him or his arguement but then Im young enough to enjoy life instead filling KB with pointless dribble instead of giving the wife a good rodgering

He has a pretty shit way of delivering his message but it one that is well worth taking onboard unless of course you're dumb enough to think the safety of motorcyclists and accident avoidance isn't worth bothering with

It's those that can't ... or won't be told ... that make the most noise ..
Where accident avoidence isn't an issue ... untill ... they're in the middle of one ...

Could you possibly elaberate ? No, not on what you just said, more pertaining to what the message is that KM tries to get across ?You forget the pack mentallity that KB produces, that has these guys coming along for a poke and kick because they aint alone in the attack ! But then he's young enough to enjoy life, filling KB with pointless dribble instead of giving the wife a good rodgering !
A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !

It sure beats lying in a hospital bed because you screwed up.

No, it is a club for motorcycling enthusiasts.Isn't that a gang ??

Do you go through the same process with everything you do?
It's also no fun to spill boiling water on yourself, to twist your ankle when you get out of bed, to bang the freezer door down on your head when you close it.

I found I had a fluffy seam when my crotch got wet.

I can vouch for that....
You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.

The thing is, we are reducing the road toll. When did you last have an off? Mine was in 1986 and I would guess most of the people posting in this thread have a similar story. You and I ride with our brains engaged (most of the time) because I am allergic to pain, can't afford time off in hospital and can't bear the thought of hurting my bike. I (and I'm guessing you) have done stupid shit like slam on the front brake in the middle of a corner because I didn't know better, I have ridden crap bikes with no brakes and rubber frames that have spat me off and I have gone for a ride at the end of a bottle of tequila (and then spent 2 months in hospital).
I doubt the stats are available, but I would make an educated guess that most serious bike crashes, including SMIDSYs, involve riders who lack the experience and skill to ride safely and keep their bikes in tip top order. People who come into a corner overcooked and don't know to push hard on the inside handlebar instead of braking; people who use their footbrake to slow down; people who ride pissed or tired; people who have bugger all wet weather and/or gravel experience. People who lack the skills and experience you and I have learned from hundreds of thousands of kms and many years riding. I would also be interested to know how many of them were wearing full gear, how many kms they rode a year, how many had undergone training and how many either diligently maintained their bikes or had them regularly serviced.
Yeah, the easiest way to cut the bike crash rate is for motorcyclists to lift their game, but which motorcyclists? I'm not arrogant enough to claim I can't improve my riding or that I'm always on top of my game - I do stupid shit too, and sometimes I still find that red mist descending (less and less these days), but when I do fuck up and ride like a dick I know it, and I feel stupid when it happens.
I personally think there are very few riders out there who deliberately set out to ride dangerously because the results of coming off range from fucking horrible to incredibly fucking horrible. I do however think most riders who come off did so because they didn't know better or had bad habits, and that means the most effective way to improve the bike crash rate is to find people who lack the skills and who do stupid shit like stomp on the footbrake to slow down like they do in their cars, and teach them how to stay upright.
And on that note, it's a sunny day, I have done all the work I had in my to do list and I am off for a ride.
Don't blame me, I voted Green.

BTW I got pulled over by a cop a few years ago because they thought my riding was erratic - I had just had a new back tyre fitted and was gently weaving from side to scrub it in. When I explained the cop said "next time don't buy tyres with wax on them". Excellent idea, if Don opens shop again I'll ask him for wax-free tyres next time.
