Nah, chiefly it shows a backlash against the 'blame anything but ourself' mindset.

That's it in a nutshell.

It's human nature to absolve ourselves of blame, and it is never any more apparent than bikers looking for excuses for why they fell off. The old "I was getting my knee down at the roundabout, and fell off because of a man-hole cover / tar snake / oil / diesel / fucking cager / blah blah...".

These guys fucked up. It's no big deal - provided that they (and more so their supporters) are willing to accept it. Until then, they're going to get more derision than sympathy.

Purely and simply the road is solely to blame, evident by the fact that every bike on the ride fell over. Oh wait.

More a tendency to eagerly go off half-cocked. Those seeking out to punish, rightfully, a blatant 'blame everything mindset' have started to jump at shadows, speculation and the merest perceived whiff of it. To the point it’s really going way overboard in my opinion.

well I dunno, must be missing something. If I'm soaring I'm dragging him with me, in my talons, for lunch.

Blame, Excuses, Denial = Fail

I guess since Bubbas got hurt and roads won't be fixed any time soon youll be staying home then. Or fitting trainer wheels.

Wot? like blaming the road?

**zeocen** · 26th December 2011, 17:30

Oh hey I remember riding that road. I remember that part and thinking, "Cripes, this is a nasty bit of road right here."

Then I kept riding because I was riding within my own personal limits.

:D

You sir, are in denial. You crashed there too didn't you?

You saw straight through me, it's true. As I was coming through the slight corner, the road jumped up with a knife, slashed my tyres and then man-raped me as I was lying in the bitumen.

I still have white paint in some areas.

:(

Regardless of the official verdict on cause of this multiple vehicle accident....what's the bet this bit of road will be resealed before the end of summer?
