Ever used being a biker to solve something/gain an advantage?

[tomtyer-drake]

sadly, i dont.

I brought the zzr as a compromise, I wanted a zxr750, but aint mad enought, and do enough long miles on the motorway that the 600 does the job, thats also the only reason I got a 600, as anything smaller isnt as happy cruising at UK motorway speeds for long periods of time.

Its completely the rider, not the bike. I fully understand that it doesnt take any skill to open the throttle and go fast in a straight line, I'm not quick, probably never will be, and im not tough - also never will be.

while I dont agree that I've got the shittiest bike, Its in no means my dream bike, that honour goes to the zxr250, the second bike I owned, which I would happily trade the 600 for if I wasnt spending so much time sitting on the motorway.

nah, he doesn't know how I fight. Given his assertion that nobody would want to fight like a woman (with a shirt on?) I'm curious how I can defend myself in a more masculine manner...

I havent seen you fight, but it is common for women to scracth , pull hair.And ive seen guys fight in a similar way, tackling , pulling on shirts and it isnt a good thing to do.When fighting it should be fair,to many people do cheap shots, they wait till there opponent take of there shirt and do a punch while there turning around.I mostly like to keep my fighting in the ring because like what i said some be unfair an get all there mates on you in the city.I cant really give you advice on fighting id need to see you fight,just give them a fair chance and then co ordinate your hits jabs,uppercuts,keep you guard up always duck and dip.

zxr 250s are nice,but alot of good riders rode bikes way worse than my gn250,when youre starting of riding the bike doesent matter its the skill thats needed.I cant ride a good nice fast bike yet because i feel i need a bit more practice on traffic riding,and my lines .
At the end of the day , your zzr600 can go well over speeds needed for the road,theres riders with gixxer 1 litres that can do motorway speeds in first gear.Its all about skill, and personal preferance, it would be logical to get a 250 tourer because many can cruise at motorway speeds.

Some guys must have been reading this. Last night I was mugged - it went like this.

Thug: Hey Mister - I like your phone - gimme me it.

Me: No

Thug: OK - Im going to mug you - but to give you a fair chance Im going to count to 10 before I start OK?

Me: Does that mean you are going to hit me on 10, or count to 10, pause then hit me.

Thug: Good point, I don't want a unfair advantage - you got to have a fair chance - I'm going to hit you on 10.

Me: OK

Thug: Ready?

Me: Yep

Thug: 1,

Me: climb into car and drive away while he is changing into his Ninja outfit and counting.

yeah - I said car - you ever tried gearing up in under 10 secs? Lets keep it real people.

Sweetie, I think you've missed my point, which was to nudge you gently about your casual sexism.

I always find it hilarious that there's an assumption I can't look after myself just because I have fewer vulnerable points on my person. I'm by no means a violent or angry person, but the few times I HAVE had to defend myself and others it's not been done by scratching and hair pulling, I assure you.

Mortal combat skillz - you either got 'em or you aint.

ive heard and seen so many guys of kb thinking they are a hard out fighters because they got a cheap shot on some big guy they could never take down

lets keep it real, ive heard of so many kbers saying if they get into a fight with a person whos gonna take of their shirt there gonna punch them whilst they cant defend themselves.wow real tough guys , arent you hard out fighters , lets just punch this guy we could never take down while hes not capable of freeing his arms whilst trying to take of his shirt. fight fair let the person get ready and dont call on your mates to do a 10 vs 1.

As you grow older you'll start to appreciate that sometimes life is not about fighting fair, but about staying alive to enjoy another day. Unfortunately, sometimes those two are mutually exclusive.
Most of the chickenshit trouble makers out there wouldn't dream of starting a fight unless the odds were stacked heavily in their favour. It's not an organised sportsevent out there - and there are no rules. You will always be better off not getting caught up in a fight.

I hear what you are saying - but you are missing the point - they are actually trying to offer reasonably good advise.

(note this post is not a pisstake)

There is fighting as in sport - boxing, karate, kickboxing etc.

They are all great.

BUT - if you ever get into trouble 'in real life' - its a lot more serious and the consequences are a lot higher - like getting killed.

They arnt going to play fair with you - you shouldn't either - nice guys finish last.

Fighting should be avoided at all cost (serious) - I will go a long, long way to avoid fighting - but if you ever have to you should fight like your life depends on it - and that means doing everything possible to get out of there in one piece.

The best way to win a fight is by 100 meters.


edit : Snap Mikkel - great minds and all that.

To Mikkel and Tank
I understand what youre saying to a point, but you must understand that youre looking at this from the wrong perspective.
how would you feel if you killed someone by accident in a fight, and when you were fighting you gave him no chance you mauled him like an animal and he could not defend himself on the concrete.Fights can go terribly wrong, so no matter what the outcome i can say it was a fair fight man vs man , youre only thinking of yourself but its actually better to think of the person youre fighting you may be angry at them but something bad could happen that you would deeply regret.In reality its like your a adult and your fighting a 8 year old when you do cheap shots because they cant defend themselves

[Tank]

well - I dont start fights, and as mentioned previously would have tried to walk away. So in the case you mention I would have been defending myself or my family.

In that case I couldn't give a fuck if he died.

whoops , yea the "fight like a women" is sexist i shouldnt of said it.but it sounds like you defintitely can take care of yourself, and can fight which is a good thing if you ever had to fight

+1

Furthermore I wouldn't get into that situation unless it really was a matter of self-defense - i.e. being under enough pressure to not have the ability to keep a perspective of the situation. Not likely to happen in a one-on-one - unless there's weapons involved.

Despite never being the most softly spoken and least provocative person in just about any gathering I have managed never getting into a real fight since I left primary school, not even close. I suspect it helps having a reasonable level of confidence in yourself and your abilities though.

[Reido]

if someone started a fight with me, screw them, when they went to take their shirt off i'd be gone or they'd be knocked to the ground.. stupid twats..

those who get dragged unwillingly into their "shit" have no need to fight fair.. who ever went looking for trouble or started it, brought it upon themselves.


When its self defence, who cares whether is "fair" or not

[Dean]

Yes fighting in all things should be avoided, and yes if a person threatened or hurt my family i would literally maul them.Theres just some kbers out there that get respect from bashing a guy who couldnt defend himself.
And about that large kid vid yes i would want his shirt of that way i can locate his solar plexus and wind him till the point where he cant breathe.put him in a hold make him tap just before he blacks out.
