I still could have easily gotten round the front or back of the car, if I'd had my shit together.

So ... is "Not having your shit together" ... a lack of ability to read the situation you are in ... ???

or ... Will just lack of ability cover it ... ???

or have I got it wrong ... again ...

I had the ability at the time probably, but didn't apply myself.

Obviously .... you must try harder.

But ... it is those times when the rider is NOT "applying themselves" ... that blood is lost.

The good news is ... "applying one's self" ... Is required by law. (Without due care as I recall)

Do you need a mentor ... ???

Haha! You agree with me then!

Of course I do ... if it suits ... maybe

Nah ... much more fun to argue the point ...

If you ARE certain that you WILL "Apply yourself" on ALL your ride(s) ... and do ... the chances of (your) blood being lost ... is reduced dramatically ...

However ... none of us can. ALL the time ... on EVERY ride. Well ... I can't and I'm good ... so you can't either ...

You can't be better ... 'cause you crash too ...

I'm with James Deuce on this one, I'd be happy if you stopped trying to tell people what to do. Enjoy motorcycling the way you need to - it is a very individualistic pastime and it doesn't need a lot of people talking a load of cock. Me and Mrs have paid a huge share of the ACC bill through multiple bike/vehicle ownership over 40 plus years and I'd bet most of our money for motorcyclists went to those wearing the gear. It wasn't us as we have not had to claim. As you were.

Fuck up you, the arguing is why we come here.

... but mate I agree with you too, perhaps many need to learn to ride better and not trust their survival on their magic gear.

Well that sucks, the only people posting, are in agreement.

Only in recent years did the ACC levy bite in Motorcycle registration. And you aren't the ONLY multiple vehicle owner in the last 40 years. So please don't tell us how YOU paid the "ACC bil" single handed.
