Come on Ed, if GB can take a pic of his bare arse then post it KB, what you are alluding to shouldn't be that difficult...

I cant word this any better so it could sound offensive...

Just for curiosity, are you "self taught", read the odd mag or book, talked to a few mates quicker but mostly learning on your own by trial and error?

I learned to ride when I was about ten, never stopped for twenty years. Riding on the road since fourteen, realised a bit late I was pretty handy but went racing anyway five years ago. And aside from a bad spell of being too pig headed to question the incorrect triple clamps, and pushing it hard anyway I was always top five in several different classes and machines.

I consider myself pretty able, and I've only ever hit the one car that was somewhere it shouldn't have been. So although I might ride in a manner some people don't like, I don't do it in built up areas and don't speed as much around town as a mate, who is a mentor on this friggin site.

Never taken too much on board from magazines

It flew through the air this afternoon from over the bridge, about 3pm if I'm right. Blooming heavy wind that was, eh......

If I was 20 years younger and you were just a little blind in one eye what a lovely couple we could make.

Stop making excuses for your own failings.
FFS, is it so hard to understand?

Bring it on...

As I see it, the real problem is that a small percentage of people take subjects of merit and talk them to death. So much so, that what ever interest that the masses had for the topic is significantly dulled by excessive exposure and the posturing of attention whores who spend their every waking hour flooding kiwibiker with their incessant and often poorly conceived opinions.

Some of you people need to take a break from the internet

I saw a little gem in a book I'm reading atm...it goes -

Thinking is hard work. Which is why a lot of people don't bother.

I believe it boils down to minding one's own godamn business. Whether the crashee believes he was significantly at fault and what he does about that is nobody elses business. End of fucking story.

Right fuckin on Dude.
Just gets a bit too much when you enter almost any thread here and there he is ranting again. The one man band can almost turn a thread about knitting into a "how i should have avoided a crash"thread.
Simply irritating at the very least.

I believe you're right. I ride safely i feel and don't seem to see to much different than that. There is always the very odd dickhead but not a multitude of them at all.
I, like you, tend to see the good and disregard the few eggs out there, as they will always be there. I also don't feel the need to keep ramming it down everyones throat everyday.

Ummm, hang on a minute, so you're saying that you can see all them then. How does that work? do they ALL go the same direction as you each time? That could be a story in itself.
I think you got my point in the first place but have found it doesn't fit your argumant well enough, so now you have come up with another angle.
No i am not on every road when i leave, but i do leave these events enough times to know i don't see what you claim. How can you see any of the good ones if you only ride on the roads that obviously have all the idiots on them???

I think you can see right here that, for every road you throw at me, with idiots on it, i can throw the equal amount back at you with good riders on it. It's all a matter of physics and logic really isn't it?
Eg: For every road you travel with idiots, there is all the remaining roads that you miss out on seeing good riders on. You get my point!

Unless you're attracting idiots it would seem to be a reasonable assumption that other roads have a similar percentage of idiots on them.

Yea that would have been my thoughts also. So how come i don't seem to see too many at all? I'm guessing we are all in the same country still....?
I don't spend my time racing past a long line of cars or zig zaging in and out of them, so i wouldn't think i was in the speedy category while in heavy traffic at all. Yet i still don't see that many! Whats the deal with that then?
