How do you know what's OK? That guy you're abusing might have half a million miles under his belt.

Again, how many miles per accident are acceptable?

And what makes you think you're the one that get's to decide?

Yeah. See, if you din't have numbers then you don't have facts. What you've got is an opinion.

If you're going to get involved in discussions about safety then you really should know a bit about the parameters. You can bleat about any specific variable until the cows come home but unless you can quantify it you've got jack shit.

That's the general consensus. Yet he gets called names by most people on here.

So I can only deduce, that weather his message is right or wrong, he doesn't peddle it face to face. And if he does, it's with a lot more tact and a shit load less severity.

If that's the case, he's just another spineless keyboard jokey from kiwibiker, New Zealands biggest creator there of.

"Katmans pole"

Still laughing at that pun.

Good shit in your OP though. Food for thought.

Or the completely shit thread title.

Good thread start, unfortunately we have beaten this one to death. The other problem is that it gets high jacked at every point by KM and turned into a circus.
I agree that it's actually awesome to keep improving and i, like you still go out of my way to do just that. I just want to be good at what i do. It's not always about me riding safe, although that is one of the benefits, but just about being good at it.
What i can't abide is the holier than thou crap a have to see at every corner on the site of the 1 man crusade that lurks within.
I am not so silly to think that at least some accidents could be avoided and that some couldn't, but at least i don't make the assumptions at every turn when i see someone write about their crash.
Most people know when they have fucked up, just leave it at that i say.

The advice is still quite relevant.
The keyword is 'IF'. And the kicker is 'lifetime'...
