I must have missed the part where he asked for your advice?

One question: Who are you to judge? Why don't you like my friends? I've got many friends on KB and I used to ride with them to many places from Whangarei to Tauranga.

Do you even know my friends?

This is not a safe environment or mindset for anyone coming to grips with motorcycling.

Please... You speak as if you know me very well....

Please please please..... I wasn't showing off! If I was showing off, would I even post the picture? I would be embarrassed and delete the pic!
btw, would I even FU**N use the damn pic as AVATAR?!?!?!?!? DO YOU THINK I AM PROUD OF MY BIN?!?!?!?!?!

But yes I did! I made a mistake! So.... didn't you Mr. Dipshit? Didn't you ever made mistakes? I have regrets. Yes they are painful! But I really really learnt from it!

but if you were telling me to ride safe, then: Thank you I will

Dipshit; you're a dipshit. You've got the wrong end of the stick when it comes to these chaps. There are some in the SMC (University motorcycle club) that I don't comfortable riding with, as they are definitely the sort of riders your post is concerned with, but these guys are a different sort of bunch altogether.

I doubt EJ will be making this sort of mistake again.

Those pics send a shiver up my spine... and makes me think if some of those motorcyclists won't get a chance to grow up.

knowing Ej personally

he is a young guy who would never break the speedlimit ....ever

he does everything by the book

he is a young, well educated asian guy, who has a passion for bikes and is keen to learn...this is one accident one slide that could have happened to any of us.

he is not a hoon he is not some boy racer

he is not a poser

just a guy who loves bikes...

they were just going around a corner...i think the camera had very little to do with it.

accidents happen it is part of motorcycling....we are on 2-3 inches TOTAL of tread on the road as opposed to that of minimum 35 inches tread on the road on a car....

riding a motorcycle is a huge risk ...shit happens....

but it is lve for bikes that get us to ride them

and i think your online name is fitting

churr.

I would strongly recommend you to choose your riding companions very carefully, or better yet stick to riding on your own, at your own pace that you feel comfortable with, without those other outside pressures.

Motorcycles are not fun toys, and roads are not some kind of personal playground. You need to take it very seriously or it could bite you in the butt one day.

I would have to agree with EJ....Who the hell are you to Judge about his friends "us" Have you ever meet any single riding companion of EJ's???
Like stated There was no speed involved no adrenaline pumping excitement no boasting on trying to get knee down and as for lack of commonsense well untill you meet us dont judge us......
As for EJ riding at his own pace so there is no presure ... EJ will ride his own ride as we all do on Monday day rides....We long accepted we dont know it all and have much to learn but hey what do you recomend? Stay riding in the carpark to fine tue our skills or just sit on our bikes in the driveway and pretend? Maybe thats how you learnt to ride but these days we actually get out there and put everything we learn to the test....If we mess something up we accept it, learn from it and move on thats what life lessons are about...I know things can go real bad real quick in life but like getting up in the morning its a risk that is taken, do we sit in our ball of cotton to protect ourselvs from all that can go wrong in the world or do we get up and get on with life? I know what i would do!!!!
Yea motorcycles are toys and expensive at that but so is skydiving or surfing.... S#^t can go wrong anywhere at any time its all about WHAT risk your willing to take. If it bites us in the ass and we survive lesson well learnt but riding is not the only thing that will bite us in the ass! and if for some reason we dont well that is the ultimate lesson.....Everything happens for a reason even reason it's self....

FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK IT !!!!! I actually agree with Skidmark (and now I feel really dirty).

From my other post you can tell that Im a nana rider.

I go to the Wednesday night mentor evenings. EJ is there EVERY WEEK learning to be a better rider, and improves each and every week. NEVER does he play up or play the fool (Training Wheels is there as well BTW). He listens, practices, ask questions, and takes his riding seriously. He is about as safe as a learner can get - period!

Acting like a cock is just not in EJ's makeup.

Hell I would like a nice pic of me on my bike also and would be happy to have a shot set up (actually would love it if anyone is offering), that does not mean I would ride like a twat thru it - assuming EJ was is incorrect.

Upshot. Im pretty picky about who I ride with. And I would ride with EJ over a lot of the more experienced riders on this forum.

and Id ride with Training Wheels - coz shes neat !

Geez Skidmark, you made a great post and I be gobsmacked!

I've ridden with EJ and he has a great passion and love for two wheeled contraptions, he gets around almost as much as I do and I daresay if he had the funds, he'd get around just as much if not more!

Thanks for posting and reminding us all about how incidents can happen so quickly, fortunately the consequences were relatively "minor" (and I know how different it all can be

) and getting us all to think about what we can do as riders to keep riding safely (or at the least rubber side down).

Hows the insurance politicking coming along? (a new can of worms I would suspect!)

Think a few of you are getting a bit carried away with skiddies post there

he does everything by the book of course he does he's Asian

he is a young, well educated asian guy bit of a racist comment that one, I resent that, who has a passion for bikes and is keen to learn...this is one accident one slide that could have happened to any of us true if you set up a camera and do it 50 times in half an hour.

he is not a hoon he is not some boy racer thats because he doesn't have a car

he is not a poser

just a guy who loves bikes...stating the obvious

they were just going around a corner...i think the camera had very little to do with it. yeah right

accidents happen it is part of motorcycling....we are on 2-3 inches TOTAL of tread on the road as opposed to that of minimum 35 inches tread on the road on a car....again stating the obvious about the tread thing, as for the accidents part, some of us are more likely to have them than others, for obvious reasons

riding a motorcycle is a huge risk ...shit happens....not sure about huge but yeah a risk

but it is lve for bikes that get us to ride them

and i think your online name is fitting

churr.

Yet despite all this, he still managed to throw his bike down the road when out clowning around with his KB mates. Just goes to show doesn't it.

You're either not a very bright unversity student or you think we're all dumb as fuck. By using that picture as your avatar you clearly think it's a great laugh, and for that matter, are still showing off about it.
