Making excuses

[MSTRS:Me]

I support the message Katman is trying to get across. I've seen it all happen before in my industry.... the cemetaries are full of young hot-shot ag pilots who were going to set the world on fire, they unfortunately let their confidence exceed their competence

The thing is mate, most of us do support the intent of the message. It is the delivery and latterly, the arrogance and obnoxiousness of the poster that upsets us.
My concern is, that riders who would do well to heed his message, are also totally and utterly turned off by the delivery that they aren't seeing the message at all...then it is, just like KM, a waste of space and energy....
He doesn't even have the redeeming feature of putting his money where his mouth is...he talks the talk, but we have yet to see him walk (or is that ride?)

[MSTRS:Me]

Ooh, look! 5 greens! then another 4 greens and then an infraction.
Seems like my message (tm) is getting through.

Katman "And the instructor thing? I found out how much it costs and the rigmarole associated with becoming certified. Bugger that - it'll be cheaper and less hassle to take the Secret of Invincibility to my grave."

So why the posts?

Oh and you get another green bling.

Oh and you must be one of the most carefull riders I've met

Even negative attention is better than being ignored.

I'm sure there was a at the end of that quote.

when in fact, 9 times out of 10 if we're honest with ourselves, our accidents come down to outriding the prevailing conditions at the time and/or our ability.

As this video demonstrates, stolen from another thread. Sorry Mikkel.

I would green bling you again - but I will have to wait! I just hope that the infraction is from your KB stalker so it doesn't count. In that case you're as right as Katman...

Oh and you must be one of the most carefull riders I've met

Yep, I can attest to that. MSTRS is smooth and careful - I'd ride with him any day of the week... Alas, it takes about 14 hours to ride to Napier from Chch if you sit just above the speed limit.

As this video demonstrates, stolen from another thread. Sorry Mikkel.

No worries - I posted it because I thought it was thought provoking. More so than this thread. Good thing you throw it in here where it might get some airtime.

Again, very few disagree with the message. There is no excuse for poor riding like that video demonstrates. However, did you realize on Katman's other 'safety' thread, using his trolling style, he has in effect goaded some into timing themselves around the coro loop now. It could well lead to a very similar outcome to that grim video you just posted. The most dangerous thing I've seen around KB of late is Katman himself.

Gotta agree with that.

[Tank]

Agreed Pussy, I think very few here dispute that, however, I strongly believe it is all about the reaction rather than the message that Katman is interested in.

Indeed. I think it comes from the fact that he obviously a boring, useless bastard in real life and this is the closest he gets to any interaction.

Its kind of like an slightly simple kid looking for love in all the wrong places. He keeps getting beat up but continues to come back.

Fuck - I wish he wouldn't.

And your desperation takes yet another dip.

Holy Crapola Batman!!! No, wait, Holy Crapola Katman!!! I'm sure no one would ever have, in their wildest flights of fantasy and inspirations, revelation, weed-haze, moments of epiphany (rah rah de rah rah) [you get the message] ever have dreamed of doing that you hadn't planted the seed in their wee brain, you naughty Katman you.

Sometimes I shock even myself.

THREAD DERAIL FTW

You live in Manurewa PrincessBandit? I thought you lived next to Donor for some reason.. I've never seen a bandit out and about, it makes me sad that I see no bikers in Manurewa

so planting the seed to do dumb things doesnt work, but planting a seed to do clever things does?

methinks you need a better understanding of human nature my dear....
