Tell that to those that fell off on a track day ...

not been there never done that, so got nothing to say to that.

am strictly road......nothing against going in circles fast, I hear its fun, but i prefer to go somewhere....

but being the noob i am I am crediting my being still alive to one on one training and riding with others that mind not telling it like it is.
a helpful dose of your not doing it right has never harmed anyone either.

I hope you refer to the "track day" bit ... not the "being in the right" ...

Track days are more about going faster safer ... not just learning to race. Usually those at similar levels go out at the same time.

It may supprise you how many dont like being told they're "not doing it right" ...

I was wrong. I still remember things from that course. I'm bloody pleased I did it.
I reckon you're on to a good thing there, Rastuscat.

Really? I didn't learn jack shit to be honest. It was the worst 190 dollars I've ever spent

Now the roadsafe courses for 20$ however..

If you want to make motorcycling safer for all make full riding gear jacket,gloves,pants,boots on the open road compulsory .No amount of rider training is going to slow someone who feels the need to speed down.People travel over the limit from choice and they know they are doing it.At least if everyone has good gear the amount of money wasted on abrasions would be removed.Broken bones cost less to repair than an inch deep section of missing flesh.

No compulsory anything thanks. I'd like to see the helmet law repealed too.

Might as well. The people who would choose not to wear them have bugger all to protect anyway.

(Ooooooohhhhhhhhh, cutting........)

There's far too many that don't try hard enough.

Agree formular is Brain size plus self preservation less self stupidity zone and Ballsack area cubed against motorcycle cc over power to weight ratio against fear of ticket and loss of licence.

I just dont see advanced riders course in that equation.

You have to admit theres to many riders with crap gear causing more damage if in accident than need be, effecting try harder to not die riders reputation and acc levies.Maybe iff we dressed like we wanted to live we would act the same way.Its better than ride like Casey Stoner and Dress like The Hoss in baywatch.
