Accident cause - discussion

[Ixion]

Because riding at 7/10, the remaining 3/10 is what you use when the drunk pulls out in front of you. Or when the corner keeps tightening, and tightening, and oh, fuck it CAN"T tighten any more f'gawds sake, but it is.

So sometimes you do end up at 10/10- (or even 10.5 /10 , which is when you really sweat). But riding at 10/10 , when that drunk pulls out you have nothing left.

Not to mention that a shit load of riders ride at 11/10 a lot of the time. Y' can usually identify them, there's some strange law of physics that causes a ripple in the time space continuum around them, the result of which is the apparently magical appearance of gravel and diesel at frequent intervals.

Old saying goes : Crash on gravel once, shame on council; crash on gravel twice , shame on rider; crash on gravel thrice, shame, he was a nice block.

I see that post 21 remains unanswered. No more than I expected.
And Ixion has put the 7/10 thing well. We all know the 'when the conditions change...' thing from LTNZ - none of us ignore the need to take more care (than we already are) when conditions alter for the worse. The lottery that is riding will sometimes throw us a curveball, where the nice safe 7/10 becomes 11/10 in the blink of an eye. *Somebody* never allows that is a fact of riding.
None of us knows what happened for this thread's subject rider, nor are most of us speculating, but the assumptions of fact from several posters are insulting to say the least.

....You lump all riders in the same broad, sweeping generalisations. It offends some, and most certainly turns anyone that may benefit from your wise words completely off your message.

Please can you, in your opinion of course, define me, the rider you are referring to when you post. Lets see just how close to the mark you are...

I also take offence at being labelled by one (two) who don't know me, have never seen me ride and know f a about me.
I have said it before and I will say it again, ALL THE FOLK I RIDE WITH RIDE SENSIBLY AND RESPONSIBLY, otherwise I elect to not ride with them!

I ride to slow to crash.........ever since my accident........

Yeah me too...until someone described my riding as being so slow I was in danger of falling off due to lack of momentum....

[Katman]

From now on it'll be "(except Mom and yungatart)", okay?

But the trainer wheels fixed that, eh?

You should see your husband when you're not around.

[yungatart]

Nice!!! This from the man who plays fast and loose with cucumbers!

[jrandom]

I've ridden in conditions that would have you hiding in your bed for the day.

R-i-ght...
You are wrong. Again.

Wrong, eh.

You're entirely sure about that?

Yeah, sorry about Katman ... he sits with his hand on his dick just waiting for the 'binned' threads. It's instantly predictable and really quite boring.

Best you do what the rest of us do, put him on ignore. All the best to your mate.

It's Scatman, really he should just stick to playing, eating and fucking in shit.

.... he may be an idiot - but there is no reason to insult the bike.

It's not what you ride - but how.........

Nope. But any post of Katman's will give the 'secret' away...
