The failure to look critically at your own actions in a crash is a key problem with Cassy.

My last motorcycle crash was legally the drivers fault. As far as I know he is still paying my insurance company off at $5 a week.

But I should have seen him coming, I should have had time to react and stop by seeing the situation developing. These areas are my fault and all things I have worked on.

For Cassy this would have been all the drivers fault and there would have no time to do anything. Its stupid thinking.

So you need a riding school to teach you to avoid "distractions" and to stay focussed on where you are going? Well I don't.

If I was looking where I was going unlike you I may have had time to brake or swerve.

What ??

So, first you say you don't need rider training to stay focused.

And then you say:

If I was looking where I was going (unlike you), I may have had time to brake or swerve.

Aaaahhh ! My head hurts !

If he had been looking at his speedo so he was not going over the 4km tolerance though I could have some sympathy for him. However unless a cop is following I do ignore that tollerance on the basis a speeding ticket is cheaper than a crash even if its not my fault.

Sorry, the old fellow just went outside to cut the lawns and he probably won't be
back inside for another hour or so. Said he couldn't take any more.

So he logged me in instead, and has left me on KB Watch while he's busy.

So - You're the dog worrier ? I wondered if we'd ever meet up online.

I have to say that I thought that he was "pulling my chain" when he talked about
you, and said he thought you "had a few sheep missing from your top paddock".

But after having had some time to read some of your posts on this thread, I am
beginning to think the whole damn flock has gone AWOL.

It's obvious I'm not the only one on here that's barking, but at least I have an
excuse.

Just out of interest, have you ever thought about giving up this motorcycle riding
business? You are obviously just not temperamently suited to it.

I mean, with this repeated diarrhoea of yours, if you was one of us, I'd tend to
suspect distemper and have you down to the vet ASAP. You're not running a
slight temperature, are you ? Just a thought.

All for now.

These areas are my fault and all things I have to work on.

Hi

I would like to know of experience here as to how those who had
training compared to those who didnt? What did you find most
difficult eg bike weight/power/braking/handling in traffic?

Thanks for the reply

My situation is that I have recently sold my CB750 that I have owned
for 23 years to a friend so I know the bike very well and I have just
bought a new BMW850R

Does anyone have any experience/advise here
as I put in a claim 2 weeks ago and am still waiting
to hear back. I am not insured myself so cannot get
my insurance company to pursue my claim.

Any advise appreciated

So you still riding uninsured wanker?

There's nothing more lower than a deceitful, ignorant, narrow minded bigot

be sure your sins will find you out

Why don't you just look where you are going????

My speed was about 40 in a 50. I was heading up a motorcycle lane and focused on what a Remuera Tractor was doing a 200m ahead of me, not a threat from the side.

Critical thinking is beyond you.

[nzspokes]

Ok your fear of rear ending the Remuera Tractor made you not look for traffic coming side on. Maybe next time allow a further following distance so you have time to look out for traffic coming side on at you as well as the vehicle in front. I ride in bus lanes legally and always look out for traffic coming side on but do have nothing in front to worry about as buses are not that frequent.

LOL you are a moron.

[nzspokes]

My safety tip to you is obviously not in your riding school manual then for you to say that.
Good luck with the limited advice your riding school manual gives you but it obviously does not cover everything.

Moron. You have no understanding of time lines, this happened years ago. Realized I needed more training and I sought it out.

I dont need advice for Miss Footdragger.

Got insurance yet?

[nzspokes]

If it makes you feel better I came off too, on a wet road not long after I got my license. Unlike you though I was able to suss out myself what to watch out for on wet roads and modify the way I applied my brakes rather than have to go to a riding school to find out what I did wrong. I dont have any problem with you not wanting any advice thats not in your riding school manual but for all you know there could be a riding school that teaches what I said about allowing a longer following distance to enable you to see traffic coming side on. Moron yourself!!

We know you fall off all the time. This is nothing new.

I take advice from those that know what they are talking about, not Moron's.

So, got insurance yet?

[Woodman]

Shit can still happen even if you are looking where you are going. Untill you experience such a situation you and a few others on here will never believe though. What you and a few others are saying is that all those who crash through no fault of their own would not have crashed if they looked where they are going. You have a lot to learn and only a no fault crash will give you and some others on here an education.

Personally I find looking where I am going is right up there as far as safe riding is concerned.

Can you send me, your copy of this book please.

as I don’t have a copy and yours does sound like it’s full of good advice.

thanks in advance

Too many accidents to get cover?

I know it's probably a waste of time in Cassina's case but the attachment from the UK Police outlines the principles behind the Police Roadcraft system (not the detail). As has been previously mentioned, it forms the basis of most training initiatives in NZ and many other parts of the world. With IAM, Roadcraft is the standard for mentoring riders towards taking their formal Advanced Roadcraft Test.

Pays to look in more than one direction.

That's a great read - good reminder of the basics.

If you go to Norfolk County Council's website, you'll find a few more of their publications...
