Cruisy Night Rides

[Rashika]

and you are doing pretty good Karla
Just carry on the way you are and (barring acts of God etc) you'll be fine

[Sparrow_1982]

Yeah Iv been harping on, but thats only cos I would sooner come across as a wanker than watch this sorta thing happen, with any luck some will take in what happened to you and the finel result.
are you claiming insurance?
If not Im sure it can be straightened up... 4 strokes dont just seize, something may have taken a knock tho and locked up like the gearbox.

nah man i don't mind eceryone talkin about it and askin questions, i would rather everyone know for their own experience too, and also just so i can get the story straight, i hate being judged by people, as soon as they here u crashed ur bike they class u as a incompetent rider or something, everyone has a accidents, ur a fool to think that u wont ever crash..... u gotta have it set in ur mind every tome u get on ur bike, it's not a case of if ur gonna crash but when.... that way u might be thinking straight and carefully everytime u get on ur bike, (this isnt aimed at u but just what i think) i didnt thnk of myself as awesome rider, but for those who had riden with me in the past would know i was a pretty competent rider, just that day i let mood effect my actions. as for the bike motor it has taken a good knock, the crack case has almost ripped off the motor, well it is split almost the entire way around so something going on internally to lock it up, yeah i am claiming insurance

Dont worry, chicks dig scars

i hope so...

Once again trying to go to fast to soon.
Sorry Sparrow. not wanting to pick on you.
You have now learnt the hard way and hoping other will learn by your mistake now.

haha no worries Rik, I remember u saying that to me on the ride we did a wee while back, to that to take it easy and with time speed will come with experience, i wish i had only kept that in mind....

I'd like to know how you survived ~ it's pretty cool to be able to walk away from a crash. I'm not looking forward to my first fall.

Next week...
I hear murmurings by a few wanting another crack at Duvauchelle.... can we... can we... aye, huh, can we?

You can do whatever you like. Looks like I'm not going to make it next week. I've got a friend coming down from Palmy that night and moving to Aus so this will be my last chance to see her before she goes. So have fun. I'm going to miss a couple of weeks over xmas too - 26/12 & 9/1. Oh well...can't be there every week.

BTW. BIG news!! I proposed to Liv this morning and she said yes. I thought that was a pretty good bday present for her!!

Summit Rd thoughts and some...

Here's a bit of a laugh, if you imagine that whole road as it would have been before they ever sealed it then you'd start to imagine the sort of thing I like to seek out and explore regularly.

If you're going to be a big negative grump, piss off, don't come. I won't miss that negativity.

sorry but that brought on some rep for you... do you not get it when people are trying to help you... maybe you should piss off (sorry but they are your words) and come back after you have thought about how so many of us have tried to help you.

we all made it in one piece and happy,

Like fuck I am happy.. look at a few other riders on the road.. they are not happy either.

ur a fool to think that u wont ever crash..... u gotta have it set in ur mind every tome u get on ur bike, it's not a case of if ur gonna crash but when....

BAD move, I never plan on crashing, dosnt mean it wont happen sorry but a comment loike that makes you the fool... do you understand?

No idea where that came from. Never said anything about you or any of the people who've offered me help. Hell, the post wasn't even about me, nor was there anything in that post that was helpful, or directed at me. As far as I'm concerned if he's going to be a negative nay-sayer, that's fine, but that's no reason to rag on the Wednesday night ride.

Telling me to piss off eh? Whatever. You quite happily earned the rep right back. What the hell have you been smoking and who the fuck is trying to help just by saying "I don't want to pull bikes out of a ditch."? I don't think you've any idea what you're on about in this case, sorry pal.

Like fuck I am happy.. look at a few other riders on the road.. they are not happy either.

Oh, so that's my fault how? Don't like the ride, not happy with it? Simple - don't come, it's your choice mate. I'd ask you why you're not happy and why so many others aren't happy (if you don't like the ride why come, that's logic for you right there), but I suspect I know the reason why. And it's got nothing at all do to with me. So you can stand there on your soapbox all you like, but make some fucking sense first. Why blame me? Like I said, nothing to do with me what others do on their bikes.

Telling me to piss off eh? Whatever.

Man... you do strugle to get it dont you.. it was you that told someone to piss off... as for the not happy comment christ sakes man... I wasent happy I was nearly pushed into the bushes, your relaxed "so no one arsed up" qoute is not good, go figger... so I could let loose with my AK47 and no one gets hurt and that would be ok, ie: eveyone is happy ???

haha i ask myself the same question everyday....how did i survive or even how did i get off so lightly, only minor injury's compared to what i should have got.... i shouldnt be here.

[Sparrow_1982]

BAD move, I never plan on crashing, dosnt mean it wont happen sorry but a comment loike that makes you the fool... do you understand?

i disgree with that, to think that u would ever crash is saying u think that everyone else that u are goind to be on the road that day with are all gonna be the world's best drivers... how do u know? how do u know that around the next bend some idiot isn't goiing to cut the corner and wipe u out?? to thin u will never crash is nieve. to think it may never be ur fault yeah ok.... but to think that u never going to be envolved aint the right way of thinkng, u need to plan ahead and think what if someone comes around that bend on the wrong side, or what if some one is stopped in the middle of that next bend?
