And remember, it's not just about you. Its about the people that find you, emergency services and other road users. Being a hero is only cool until you fuck yourself up.

Yea i understand that, though it's by no means at any fast speed, through a corner i can see right through, which i have already checked for any threats, not like i will do it often at all, because then ill need new sliders and there is no need for it around corners, was just to actually do it.

might be doin a u-turn up ahead

Then try it off a public road. As you start riding more and more you will realise that the shit can hit the fan really fast, especially "while trying new things"..... Seriously, I learn't from my mistakes and they were very painful lessons!!

Take it to the track.

You don't need to be going fast. With a little practice you can get down at 15kph around cones in a (empty) carpark.

At least I have the foresight to do it on other people's bikes.....

(again)

Just trying to keep a new (sounds young) rider alive, you can call that hypocrisy if you like....

You make a very valid point, and i'm sure they would be!! Pity you had to learn the hard way!!
