Learning All The Time - Learning Good Driving Behaviour

[AllanB]

I just don't care for the way wankers in large 4WD or people movers drive in car parks - like they own everything and at speed. Ignorant fucks.

I'm really starting to detest those large vehicles.

I'm more impressed that you actually thought this rambling waffle belonged in General Bike stuff. Start a blog.

Fair comment, sir. Point duly noted.

I shall restrain myself in future and keep to the subject.

I'm enjoying the "Viking Voice", so I'd be more than a little upset if it disappeared off into some blog section...

Take no notice of the young fella from Dunedin, bit cheeky to suggest that your writing is 'rambling waffle'...

Yeah. Ignore Mary Whitehouse.

Have a look at the main forum page. Down near the bottom is: Rant or Rave - Talk about any non-motorbike stuff here.

I'd suggest that Viking1 is writing in the correct place, he's writing about Motorbike stuff - it's just that he's writing allegorically...

Well my view on the Viking contributions is that they're all motorcycle related, one just needs to broaden the outlook to observe the connection. Everyday is a school day, so the learning never ends.

So one can apply control techniques that work on 2/4/more wheels and apply them in the supermarket indeed. It troubles me immensely how little sense of order there is in the way some folks randomly navigate their way thru a supermarket. My vote would be to make the aisles strictly one way, for this would allow better progress. It would also make it easier for the many tourists who visit our shores, so we can maybe paint keep left signs or arrows on the floor of these aisles. Think of it as a subliminal driving lesson, for when said tourist then encounters a keep left arrow on our roads, it's merely a reminder of a previously implanted message...

The lack of TC/SC/EBS/EBD/ABS/ECAS on the shopping trolleys is a minor problem when we're all going in the same direction I would think. The lack of indicators we can talk about it in a future chapter of the Viking lessons

That's quite OK with me. I accept Virago's point, and he's quite right. I have no issue with it.
Non-motorcycle content in its right place. I can ramble and waffle equally well in the "Rant
and Rave" section.

My initial post re my shopping experience was indeed meant to refer obliquely to motorcycle
/ driving safety (e.g. unsuitable role models; some shortcomings due to learning on the job etc).

These people also drive cars on our roads, which is perhaps the more disturbing aspect to me.

But my divergence onto my "special interest" topic of Vikings and Scandinavia was not consistent
with the subject in hand. I stand corrected.

I was wondering if it was going to continue ad norseseum.

[caspernz]

I dread the day a moderator takes the axe to the Norse code

[Zedder]

If that happened, your hopes would be dashed.

[caspernz]

Send out a dash dash dash dot dot dot dash dash dash forthwith

That's quite OK with me. I accept Virago's point, and he's quite right.

No he's not. There's no order here. No classification system aside from the broadest of terms. Your topic was bike and site related. That two roads diverged in a yellow wood made for more interesting and wide sweeping intellectual stimulation. All the pure motorcycle topics were well thrashed out here by about 2007. What passes for writing now doesn't measure up. I'm not suggesting we need to write in iambic tetrameter, but before we castigate Mr Viking, let's point to persons unmentionable who hijack threads into their own poorly worded and madness filled ramblings.

I'm okay with it. As you were.

CasperNZ,
I like your thinking.

It would indeed be an interesting "social experiment" to paint up a large supermarket
with centre lines on aisles, and with Stop / Give Way signs at the ends. Perhaps a few
double yellows as well, just to give dramatic effect.

With a few strategically positioned GoPro's in-store to capture the shopper response.

Perhaps around next March 31st ?
