I can't believe I just wasted 15 mins of my life reading this thread!

Jesus H Christ - some people would complain if their arse was on fire!

[Blackbird]

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

I'm not sure what the most diplomatic way of saying "fuck off" is, so you'll have to put up with it in non-PC terms

I've never heard you talk such language Geoff I would suggest getting Jen to wash your mouth out but I think this thread deserves it

You must be a fast reader.

[Big Dave]

You must be a fast reader.

But is he a safe reader and did he miss any lines? Who observed it?

[SPman]

Perhaps I.......cut a few corners................

But...really...people who can't tell the difference between accomplished, perceptive, fluid riding, and speed demons out taking risks and endangering puppies, and the pedantic hand wringing, blame chucking, winging, carry on that follows.............

You must've had this

If I wanted to ride the IAMS way

Buddy you don't even understand the IAM way in any way shape or form. You can't even fuckin spell it.

If this were an intelligent debate it would consist of those involved debating their viewpoints with those that have a contrasting viewpoint.

Whether those concerned leave happy with their opinion, or whether they change it, they are better off for it.

Cassina you are the complete opposite. Your mind is shut tight. You are a fool:

“He who knows not and knows not he knows not: he is a fool - shun him.
He who knows not and knows he knows not: he is simple - teach him.
He who knows and knows not he knows: he is asleep - wake him.
He who knows and knows he knows: he is wise - follow him.”

If they admitted there was a safety trade off with faster speed whether at the speed limit or not I would agree with them.

Who is 'they' and where do they say 'they' don't acknowledge it? Is there an IAM website somewhere saying "Take our training and go as fast as you like without risk"?

There is a safety tradeoff with riding a fucking bike in the first place. The question is, to what extent are you willing to go.

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.

'Less safe' can still be safe. I am safe sitting in my office at my desk job. Less safe than if I was wearing a bulletproof vest, mind, but still safe.

Remember when the open road speed limit on a 6L was 70km/h? That speed was too slow to be safe. Even the gubbermint recognised this and increased it to 100km/h.

The higher speed limit is safer. Both in practise, and as legislated.

BTW, has anyone ridden a mokorbike recently?

I'm not sure what the most diplomatic way of saying "fuck off" is, so you'll have to put up with it in non-PC terms

It was stated the main aim of IAMs was to teach hazard awareness. In my day that was taught in the road code so why would

it was MENTIONED in the road code, like so many other things. Actually putting it into practice in an effective way is something else entirely - and something that is not practiced by most road users. Most of us long term riders have evolved a strategy of , for us, hopefully, effective hazard awareness, but, like a lot of self taught skills, they are always worth "peer reviewing" and fine tuning by an outsider.

IAMS does not gurantee to make you better or safer than non IAMS riders.

No one I know who has done the course says it does

I read a very true post on here last night that said even if you are the best rider you will not be protected if the following driver drops their cigarette between their legs or texts for that matter coming up behind you

Of course not...or a Kangaroo jumps out straight into your bike......the only way to avoid things beyond your ability to contain is to not be there at all....life is a continual risk analysis program......

Sorry you dont like my addition of the S but often people will add a S to a name eg Dick Smiths Noel Leemings Harvey Normans if you get my drift. Do you get angry with people adding the letter S to those names as well????

The 'S' is a possessive.

When someone says "I'm going to Dick Smith's" they mean (I am going to [the shop] owned by Dick Smith). 'The shop' is inferred but not stated.

IAM do not 'possess' anything in your sentance:

It was stated the main aim of IAMs was to teach hazard awareness.

I have said before I am not attacking rider training as such but just to use your word the "Foolish" belief it makes you better than everyone else on the road with my argument being everyone else
would be dying like flies on the road if this was the case would it not??? It was stated the main aim of IAMs was to teach hazard awareness. In my day that was taught in the road code so why would
I want to waste 2 years studying what I was told was my fault when I sat my drivers license. If I had not taken that on board I would be dead by now would I not?

Did you seriously just compare the aptitude required to pass the IAM test to your driver's license test? One is often spoken of having a 10% pass rate, while the other is synonymous with cereal box toys
