Bored kids

Nope your not barking up the wrong tree. Actually its a really good idea.
You must really hate your bike though. Or be more stupid that you appear.

If anyone wants to give me a bike...

[dpex]

Oh i just saw a photo of your bike i think i will withdraw my request

Tomorrow morning I'm going to show Good old Team Zimmerframe a copy of your rancid post. And when we find you we're going to climb up and down your sad arse.

Any time you want to put your punky bike up against us, just say the word.

[avgas]

Hows about that!? In the space of fifteen minutes I've had seven PMs plus a couple on the open board.

I see there's alos a few worry-guts worrying about my bike being destroyed.

Really? In order to destroy my bike the rider would have to do something so far outside their comfort-level as to be almost unimaginable.

Thats the great thing about clutches, they engage and disengage with almost mechanical motion. Comfort levels don't really seem to follow the same procedure.

Actually the more you mention, the more i like the idea.
Darwin has been ignored far to long in this soft world.

Avgas, think about this. You're a punk kid, full of shit. Suddenly you're sitting on 600CCs of go bike. Ahead of you is a line Marshal who has promised to take it easy. You follow a bit. the marshal stretches out; he's got his left hand on his leg; you're struggling to kepp up with two hands witha death-grip. You panic a bit. Suddenly, your ego and your inability meet. But you're kid. You gotta show the 'man' you're up for it.

The 'man' hits the brake point at the hairpin, doing 200. The kid freaks, and so he should.

We all of us learn only from personal experience. No amount of talk will talk a kid down. Following a line marshall, who is maybe being a bit naughty, is the way to talk a kid down.

And hey, at the end of the day, if the kid trashes my bike, so what. At the time it was just a thing being put to good use.

If the kids hurts himself, well, he was given instructions from the men who know.

In this life each man gets what he deserves.

I think thats a fuckin awesome idea man, good on you, I've been fortunate enough to have friends let me out on the track with their bikes and it is almost like you say, visions of being valentino rossi fly out the fuckin window when you are at 180kph and hairpins bends consume your view.

chur !

Thanks Gatch. That's the best bit of reality yet.. You're right, buddy. :--)) And that's the whole point of the exercise.

Fantastic idea dpex, had i been offered that i would definately take it up. Nothing better than showing the younguns that think they know it all what fun is really all about, makes what they think is fun lame in comparison.

Skids in a car or 200kmph+ with nothing between you and the ground? I can feel the rush already!! (Mine only gets to 170....)

Can you let us know when you get one, i would love to hear what they have to say afterwards!

[dipshit]

The fact is, they're kids (early 20's) bored shitless with the modern risk-free environment of wall-to-wall OSH.

They will probably end up getting into stunting if anything.

Bored suburbanites with ADHD and too much pocket money from their mummies seem to be the norm for stunters.

[gammaguy]

congratulations!

you just rewarded a couple more dickheads with attention and validation for being-dickheads.

meanwhile quiet,hard working and productive members of society,who may well LOVE the idea of doing a trackday on some admittedly well-meaning persons motorcycle,get completely ignored.

no wonder we get the messed up society we have.

reward the assholes,ignore the good guys.

yup,that works.

Oh well, dipshit...very appropriate nick, BTW....let's throw out all the prerceived dead-flogs with the bath water. No point in making an effort, is there?

Hells' teeth. If we all start making an effort things might get better. Can't have that, can we? Oh no. We need our nasties to be nasty, to make ourselves feel better.

Dipshit.

[Slyer]

Woah, fuck, he'll obviously get offended by you calling him that...
Edit: I'm not on his side or anything, I think it's great, although you have to be a bit nuts.

[mujambee]

I like the idea, but don't think it will work.

They'll probably go there, ride far slower than they believe they could and blame the bike or just learn that bikes are not for them and go back to doing exactly the same thing they where doing with their cars. And if one of them happens to be a talented one and rides at a decent pace, he will believe himself the new god of speed and go at suicidal speeds on his car forever.

That's how I see it.


P.S. I know this is none of my business, but feel in the need to ask: Are you ready to live with it if one of this kids breaks his neck while riding your bike?

[The Stranger:Me]

Personally I would bet on the skidmark effect.

Would love to be wrong here.
Please ensure you post up how it went.
