Why the WRB campaign is going nowhere.

Funny really as its probably only a matter of time until you make a very valuable contribution to the cause.

everyone dies buddy , as does everything, but id rather spend my time living and having fun, as opposed to thinking about death

[FJRider]

the mormon few are dedicated at doing this, spreading the word of bad ass motorcycling!

[DEATH_INC.]

The biggest, most important "factor" in any accident is the rider.
Confidence levels are directly proportional to ignorance.

What do you mean? I'm not too bad at pedaling a cycle and am pretty confident of being able to beat most of the riders on this forum at the track or on the road. I also have a very good understanding of the dynamics of a bike and the consequences of a crash.... Ignorant? Far from it really.
You are generalizing again...
I don't have the figures to back me up, but I've had at least 3 crashes from cars pulling out in front of me, and not being able to avoid them. How is this rider error?

It isnt,as you say sooner or later chances are you will encounter something that is unavoidable,no different in a car only its usually less painful.

And regarding my signature.........

It is a direct quote taken from a post by dipshit (don't remember where he got it from and I didn't have the room at the time to include credit to the originator) that I felt stated by belief of motorcycling perfectly and consicely.

I got it from a July 2007 SuperBike magazine article.

After the first car pulled out in front of you, you would expect more to do so ...wouldn't you ??? You weren't expecting them, which does not equate to WONT HAPPEN to "me" again. You chose to ignore the "fact" that it may happen again. And it did...twice more. Amongst traffic, I can get a little paranoid. Watching for things that MAY happen. It doesn't work all the time...but it helps reduce the number of times you prang, when it does...and you're there.
I have survived 46 years or legal, open road, motorcycling. Having the "right of way" or being "in the right" doesn't make the prang any softer. Or the end result(ing) mayhem any easier to bear. Nor is compensation from those "responsible", any easier to get.
Knowing how "accidents" finish, should help learning how "accidents" BEGIN. If you choose to ignore the FACT, someone will pull out in front of you (and twice you have already) again... it will be the fourth time. If that is not ignorance ...
On the track, you would expect a degree of skill / ability by all participant's, (grading levels etc). On the road, however, skill levels (of some) and variety of vehicles that "share" the road, make this expectation impossible.
Ignoring warnings is ignorance. I hope I dont see a post from you... its happened again...

[98tls]

Will bring the ute down.Want to buy a Duc,no worries buying the bike its paying for the expensive coffee thats got me fucked.

Why would you assume he isn't intelligent enough to be aware it could happen "again"?

Arrogance?

[FJRider]

OR ignorance of the fact it may happen again??? ...and it did... TWO more times...

[Headbanger]

I don't think your assumption was based on ignorance.

Bit off topic here but anyone else had one the "6th sense shit happen" do do do do do do do dodo etc,yea sounds like shite but after 30 something years riding ive encountered it a few times.....anyone else?

Yeah sixth sense, 90% of car drivers are fuckwits. The other 10% are bikers, have been bikers, or are family/ friend of a biker. The 10% bother to look.

The 90% are blind morons who should be treated as such.
