Rest In Peace
Mate, the rg150 is a sweet bike to learn on imho. Theres plenty of people on kb who would be more than willing to mentor you. The best advice i can give you is to take it slow, and to ride to your abilities, if you do that youll get better and better. Everyone bins at some stage, just look at what went wrong and what you can do about it if you ever get into that situation again.
Never let your enemy see your emotions, for it is the one weapon they will value most.
Tofu please!
Duchy, you've hit the bad luck pretty hard but look on the bright side, at least you're binning on your RG150 than something bigger and way more expensive.
Just remember, shit happens aye, just take it as if it's another challenge you gotta overcome. Spirits high, laugh if off and you'll be fine.
Get a mentor if you can, plenty around in Aucks, but make sure you get the right one aye!
Hope to see you on Saturday!

Oh yes there is. Katman is MY biking god.
oh - sorry did I say God - I was supposed to say one track, moaning, boring, git.
Seriously Katman - Every reasonable person can see (from whats posted) that this bin was an unlucky one that could have caught any of us.
Give the guy a break.
The instructions are simple...
Oh FFS...piss off with your bullshit. If you were really serious about 'your campaign', you would be offering help or suggestions. Nobody is interested in your crap.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
Forum whore
Oh FFS! Katman actually thought he believed in biker gods... what planet is the guy on????
Oh well, life must be shit with the glass always being 1/2 empty??
I don't usually post for this type of crap, but that was to much!!! Walks away shaking his head............................
By the way Dryrider that was the best written bitch seasion I've read on KB for a long while.
1000 points for the post and may your luck change from this point on!!!!!!!!!!
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '

I tought myself to ride not saying i'm a great rider but i'm alive and my bikes in one peice so something must be going ok! (Knock on wood) but i must admit i still ride like a nanna and always stick to my limits, I went riding with Raj (YamahaR64Life) and he had to wait for me. Which in my opinion is fine atleast i can ride the next day, So yeah take it easy nanna if need be and slowly it all comes together
good luck mate
Hardcore Biker
Also some have said why have such a high powered supersport if you don't ride it to it's potential? My answer to that is well "ATLEAST I STILL HAVE A SUPERSPORT" i've crashed a few times in the past and i know it's not a plesant encounter so yeah i'll ride within my comfort zone

I doubt that a GN would offer any advantage other than having no fairings. The RG is a pretty good learner's bike. If you are really thinking of a change, a small chookchaser would be a better bet.
I think you are focusing too much on riding and not enough on roadcraft. That is where courses like RRRS are good: you can practice the riding bit until it becomes automatic in an environment where you need not be concerned about roadcraft. Then, the riding skills having become automatic, when you go out on the road, you have attention to devote to roadcraft, reading the road.
Get thee at least to a big empty car park and set up your own RRRS type course. Riding around, countersteering, braking, until the actual riding requires no thought at all.
Practice on different surfaces. Remember the road is not a race track where you may expect never to encounter anything but clean dry good quality seal. You will sooner or later have to ride on gravel, grass, rocks, on rough and broken surfaces, you will encounter pot holes or obstacles mid corner, roads will be wet, greasy, oily. Dealing with that is the skillset of the experienced road rider (and many fast riders, even racers, are poor road riders).
But also, end of the day, sometimes shit happens. And the Biker Gods decide to make you Target of the Day. Oh yes, they most certainly do exist. If you have offended them , there are rituals to placate them. But finding a virgin mouse nowdays is very difficult.

Are you for real????
