Orange Street Triple R on Akaroa Highway? (2 January)

[SMOKEU]

Anyway, I can't ride slow. I have exceptional balance but I've never developed my ability to ride slow. Never needed to never wanted to.

It was SAFER for me to ride FASTER because the risks were less with my ABILITY. When mountain biking, I have broken bones from riding slow, rather than when I'm riding faster. This is how my ability has been developed.

This may be a bit off topic, but it takes a lot more skill to cycle very slowly than it does to cycle fast. We all know that bikes (both push bikes and motorbikes) are more stable at speed, up to a certain point.

You make the point that there is no such thing as being fast and safe. What you should be arguing is the physics not the persons ability. Yes, physics dictate that the faster you go the more shit hits the fan when things go bad and you hit something. But let me again bring in the fighter pilot. He's flying a plane at 100 km/h. He's used to flying it at 1000km/h. Apart from the fact he's bored as shit, because his ability and skill set enable him to pilot a plane at 1000km/h he has all the time in the world (compared to flying at his normal speed) to react to any crap that could happen. He's scanning so far out in front, it's ridiculous. His peripheral vision is so fucken wide he could see shit coming behind him.

Ability.

Now, you're flying a plane at the same speed. You're not Mr fighter pilot and you think 100km/h is warp speed. Everything is rushed to you. You have no time to process anything. Your brain is mush and is a blur of information. Because you think this speed is already too fast, if anything happens to you, your equipment, or something comes in front of you, because you don't have the ability of the fighter pilot, your brain tells you you're already fucked. Should we now get you to fly at 1000 km/h? The same speed where the fighter pilot feels at home and his brain still works better than yours at 100km/h?

Ability.

I would just like to make a small nitpick - but the Fighter Pilot trying to fly any plane that is capable of flying at 1000 kph, at 100 kph is actually probably going to shitting himself because he would be neck deep in trouble (stall speed on most Jets is around 160-200 kph depending) - also his reaction times would be mute because at that speed, any change in the aircrafts control surfaces will result in a crash

Omg this thread is still going....

So in essence in this instance faster is safer???

When flying, anything above Stall speed is safer - I think there is an optimum maneuvering speed, above that speed, using full stick can cause issues:

That is of course - assuming a flat and level flight path, with no objects or other hazards

Yup.

Aahh, I said a plane, not his plane. I was trying to make it as fair as possible for cassina . Anyone has the ability to fly a plane but fuck all for a jet fighter. I know I can't (can't see without testicles_).

But saying all that is just going to bring up the whole equipment factor that cassina is stuck on. On we don't won't that now, do we?

Boo yaaa

[SMOKEU]

Oh, and commercial planes don't generally crash into each other, not because of lightening fast reflexes that drivers generally lack, but because ATC usually assigns altitudes and headings, and there is always the TCAS if all else fails. With a bike it's just "see and avoid".

I will out corner you when its fatal

Look, could we just get these two things right, if this thread is to continue?

1. IAMS is cat food.
2. Mute = silent, or unable to vocalise. I think you mean "moot", having little or no practical relevance. I doubt your stall speed example would be mute. I know pilots. They're not shy and retiring.

I like to shelter myself from the inherently retarded.

Yet you always seem to be knee deep on Kiwi Bitcher.

I had invited others to read post #807 in the Speed Tolerance Reduction Thread by Police Officer Rastus but no one has and if they did they are not brave enough to admit they are wrong with their thinking in this forum so here is a snipit of it for you to think over:

the speed that you travel at impacts others ability to judge your speed? And that the faster you go, the less the margin for anyones error?

If that is what IAMS taught him how on earth do others who believe in it think the opposite or think they are safe going fast as a result of passing IAMs Training ???

....here's me thinking you were a complete and utter wankfuck but I was wrong...you are way past that...

[Gremlin]

1. IAMS is cat food.

If that is what IAMS taught him ...

Yeah, that worked

Cassina, you're still on about fast, which can't really be defined. Part of IAM, we obey all road rules, including speed limits. Yes, 100kph in a 25 corner isn't going to work well, but 100kph is actually quite easy to maintain through some sections of road.

So you work in a "sheltered workshop"? This thread is bringing a lot of home truths to the surface!

Unfortunately It is because of people like you, that we are consistently cautioned on the contents of our coffee.
