New crash study.

[Moi]

Words of one syllable, well mostly one syllable...

He was riding along a road.

A child run out from the right hand side of the road.

He did not swerve.

He pulled up.

The car behind him also stopped.

It was lucky that no vehicle was coming towards them...

otherwise that vehicle may have hit the child.



I think I have just written a new Janet and John reading book...

If you did not swerve why did you say it was lucky there was no one coming the other way? Irrespective of whether you swerved or not you would have to agree with me that there was luck in the fact the following car stopped in time to avoid you? If you had been any closer to the kid when they ran out things could have ended up different too in that respect. All I am trying to educate you guys on is that there is a luck component which is decided by the person/kid/animal at fault as well as what you may have been taught in riding school.

Read post 529. Moi is correct.

You are trying to justify an appalling history of crashes and blaming everything but yourself. And you are to scared to go for an assement.

May I quote Gary Player the golfer again? On being told by a commentator that he had played a lucky shot he said, "The more I practice the luckier I get".

I remember once travelling to a sports event in another city. I knew the venue was on Government land and that the gate was sometimes to be kept locked, so I phoned ahead and got the combination before I left, just in case. The gate was locked, there were competitors arriving at the last minute and some were actually late. Afterward I was asked how I managed to get in, I explained that I had the combination.
"That was lucky."
Luck had nothing to do with it.

It's possible that some people tending perhaps to be a bit dim ascribe their misfortunes to bad luck. Luck does play a part, but application of the seven Ps might have resulted in a different outcome.

Just saw this come up on my Facebook feed. Makes for some interesting reading. I'm still to look at the complete study but it certainly seems pretty comprehensive.

It's all just common sense.

You are in denial about me pointing out there was a luck factor in the car behind you stopping in time. Only last week another poster on here said there is no guarantee cars coming up behind you are going to stop in time. I am not a lone voice after all on the subject of a luck factor.

I now think this is a fake profile of either someone that does not ride or another user. There has been no proof that whoever is in control of this profile rides or even owns a motorcycle.

The other competitors were lucky you had the combination.

No they weren't. As I mentioned in my last post, the gate had to be kept locked. I was early and I let myself in and locked the gate behind me. As did everybody else who knew the combination. The host club coulda/shoulda left somebody at the gate to open it for people but they didn't. This possibility had occurred to me and I made the appropriate arrangement.

You really do need to read things properly, you are forever arguing about things you misunderstood.

Not surprising. So what's the next step?

...maybe...I don't know how someone could be so consistently ignorant and fucked in the head unless they were trying hard to be...

It certainly puts a lot of effort into doing that.

Don't underestimate people's stupidity potential....

Also applies to suckmycockman.

In your first post it said the gate had to sometimes be kept locked not had to be kept locked. You really need to read your own posts properly.

That's written clearly enough for normal people. That was one of the times the gate had to be kept locked.

But to make it really simple: my little stories about Player and the gate were to illustrate that people who train and plan rely less on luck. Conversely people who don't train or plan tend to blame their luck.

I can't make it plainer than that, you who don't like training, and don't understand planning, keep going on about luck. Go on a training course you may get lucky.
(No pun intended.)

You cruel bastard....

What has that poor instructor done to you....?

And what about the innocent victims that happen to attend that very same course. ....?

After sharing a course with the BIG C , rubbbing your dick with sand paper would be fun.....

[nzspokes]

If I went on a training course and get lucky and pass it would be no guarantee I would get lucky the next day out on the road by myself. You see passing a training course as giving you eternal luck but the reality is you will be at the whim of whoever may screw up and head towards you just as much as me and the speed they travel towards you will never be the same meaning your riding school education may save you with some of the misshaps of others but not all. I said in a previous post I had 2 cars pull out on me, one I was able to swerve around and one not. Now if I had been to riding school you would have put it down to my riding school education that I was able to make a successful swerve or would you say I just got lucky because I did not go to riding school?

Mods can we get this fake profile deleted?
