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

[Geeen]

haha I was wondering when someone was actually going to spell it out in crayon for cassina. Personally I was just waiting to see how long it would take for the penny to drop...come to think of it. It still may not have. Let's wait and see.

I think that's the 12th or 13th time its been pointed out.......

Disingenuous, Steve

I thought it was Steve Disingenuous... something.

I AM cat hear me purr

A real Hawk would have said 'Hmmmm - lunch'.

But was he not the same guy who thought he was going to die as pillion on the back of an IAMS riders bike?

you got farking rocks in ya head or something... that was a 'saying' you know a simily or metafor or some shit... he did not really think he was going to die FFS

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 have NO FARKING idea what this IAMs shit is... and FYI, the best thing I ever learnt on the track which I will add improved my lap time massive, was late apex.
now, before some one says 'going faster aint safer' then I will add... the same or similer line on the road will improve the saftey of the corner, dosent mean ya "HAVE" to take it faster.

I have never used the ignore function. IdylIdyladdled tempted me.

same...

Here's a picture of a kitten, which will grow up big and strong if it is raised on an age-appropriate, specialist IAMS diet.

thing is look at it... the kitten is going way to fast, and wont make it around the corner, so it cant be on a IAMs diet can it, FARK are you lot not listening to cessna and Co...

oh and speaking of which, some round here will never grow up.

For Christs sake, someone please invite Cassina to a monthly IAM meeting

I saw a guy do a great emergency stop today.

I was gonna post about it, but couldn't stand the thought of 31 pages of "he was doing {something} wrong in the first place" posts from people who didn't see it.

Are you qualified to observe?

Yeah but not spelt out specifically to cassina. Sure, everyone else may have got it by at least the 4th or 5th time but we have to realise that things have to be very...very, very, very, very clear.

Crayon helps as well.

As well as maybe some pictures. Pretty pictures.

Pretty pictures with maybe some unicorns. And rainbows.

That cat should have a helmet on going at that speed.

And high viz, too.

It was another poster that critisized the cornering techqnique I was just attacking the claim about fast being safe when it reality is less safe. I would have possibly praised the rider too but would have left any claim of going fast being safe.

May I respectfully suggest that you stop digging and let this thread die a natural death? I thought the whole thing was a bit gay to start with with someone making a post because someone else went around a corner. The Street Triple rider must have had a nice arse or something.

Fast may not always equal safe, but it does not automatically equate to it being unsafe. And what exactly is "fast" anyway? Ride your own ride, at the pace you feel comfortable, but don't have a go at others if their view of a safe speed differs to yours. As someone else said, much comes down to ability. Not just of your own skills, but the awareness and perception of other road users and the road ahead.

I mentioned 5,000 pages ok that I set some of the curve advisory speeds down my way. I cannot think of any 75km/h curves that I can't take at 100km/h on my bike - when I know the curve I hasten to add. They are set for a comfortable and 'safe' speed for a four wheeled vehicle, not a bike where the rider is far more occupied with the task in hand and has the whole lane to set himself up with.

And just to keep things on topic, all cats should be drowned in a big red bucket.
