    Tips - Wheely everywhere, save on front tire wear.

    - Don't ride in groups, it's either slow or dangerous if you are surrounded by other people whose ego outweighs their talent (cunts like me).

    - Cops always back down if you show them who is boss.

    - "cagers" have respect for bikers if you ride like a boss.

    - Anyone fucks with you while on the road, just kill them bro.

    One such technique is holding a green bean, or a coffee bean or similar between your teeth when you go out for a wee ride. If you clench up and break the bean, you'll probably realise that you are quite a bit more tense than you think, and it can make you rethink your approach, and rethink your ability.

    Often people have no idea they are near the end of their ability until a tyre goes sideways and its too late, their are far more practical ways to discover the true limits of your abilities.
    Another way to know you're doing it wrong/riding too hard is when you get sore forearms. Possible even on a short blast, used to happen to me often, then I found out I was being a n00b.
    If you die also, this usually dictates you're riding out of your abilities.

    Seems to work well for me, I had the GN on the back wheel doing 140 the other day, lane splitting, some pregnant wench waved her fist at me so I bit her face off.

    Thumbs up

    Just make sure you got the right message from that thread, ,please.The guy had the nuts to come here and tell us what happened, we/most of us hope he has learn't from his rather serious and painful experience and that others coming up the scale do so as well without the pain.
    It really does hurt and it's not just yourself you need to think about.
    Welcome and enjoy your riding.
    Every day above ground is a good day!:

    I think he might have been doing a bit more than that wrong...... a lot more to do with using the road as a race track.

    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
