So... it is 16 against ONE... Shall i let her know who Muppet is yet???
Na... Still got to get to 150 pages.....

Fast*: can't be safe on the road.... Pffft...

*Note: Muppet was probably talking about reactions.... something she will never understand.....

Let's just take a step back and see where this thread started.

For a start, Muppet clearly can't tell the difference between a racer and an ex pat POM with Road craft experience - or any other sort of motorcyclist for the matter.

He then goes on to praise the philosophy of staying wide as long as possible in a corner before 'powering out'.

The reality is that, if you stay wide right throughout a corner and then attempt to 'power out', chances are you will end up running off the side of the corner you are powering out of.

This whole thread was fucked right from post #1.

I'd like to think I'm not alone in giving this twat as much red as I can muster.

Its called 'late apex' and works very well... providing you know how to ride.

another words stay wide till a late apex then turn in and power on... muppet didnt explain it quite like you do. its not so black n white.

Have you gone through the IAM process?

I'm guessing you're another one that thinks IAM has something to do with pet food.

I don't generally hand out reds, and I have never used the ignore function. IdylIdyladdled tempted me but I find I'm tempted again.

Guess I should be grateful that he/she doesn't use the roads near me.

Knowing just a tiny little bit about the OP, I'd consider his opinion of what is safe riding to be much, much more qualified than your own and that has absolutely nothing to do with IAM or cat food. I don't even know if the OP has a cat but I do know he has a few more clues than you.

You're not related to Pratik in any way are you?

No-based on your myopic and uniformed viewpoint it was fucked. Your opinions are just that and your inability to consider other's approachs only further isolate you. Is your alternate login name Cassina by any chance? Imagine the temerity of Muppet to put positive feedback on KB! No wonder you were outraged.....

No, I don't think he was. Muppet didn't make any reference to IAM at all when he posted about being a pillion passenger with his instructor. It is you that has imagined this reference to IAM and it is you that has ignored my own two previous attempts to point this out to you. Muppet may have been receiving advanced training of a different kind at the time, possibly even employment-related for all we know. To the best of my knowledge Muppet has not made a single reference to IAM in this thread, or any other for that matter.

You're too distracted by your efforts to continue this inane rant to see the flaws in your own arguments.

But I think Muppet knows a practitioner of Roadcraft when he sees it

I agree and I think that probably came with loads of training, expertise & experience. He probably knows a big fucking bag of cat food when he sees it too!
