    it's simple - you ride too fast for your ability. it's just a shame that you've fucked a perfectly good (somewhat rare) bike. there was a guy - Darwin i think his name was - who had a theory about guys like you.

    If you want to try insurance fraud (not reconmending it) get your bike insured then go chuck it off a steep hill at night and wait for somone to pass by (make sure your wearing a scrachted up helmet and jacket.....
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    Personally, I'd give it up.

    I'd say try a cruiser bike but....... You would be too bored by it.
    The speed is in the veins, Leaving no other options. Fact is, some people just don't have the self control. Thats a recipe for disaster with bikes.

    Bikes have ruined alot for you so far, don't let it ruin the rest.

    Consider your options carefully.

    You are extremely lucky to have had that many big accidents and be fine.
    You're number might be up soon.

    Sorry dude, everything you've said contridicts this claim of being sensible.
    The only place speed actually belongs is on the track.
    I think you need to start riding defensivly. Grow up/get some maturity, and start work on your skills without outriding your ability or next time you might not walk away or worse still you might ruin someone elses life.

    If you want to ride fast go join a racing club at a track and learn to do it right.

    I agree

    I totally agree with everything thats been said, I have noone to blame but myself..
    Im constantly trying to better myself and exercise more control..
    I know that my days are numbered if I continue to rape it everywhere which is why I dont
    But comeon... sometimes when you are out for a ride you open it up
    I reckon one contribution was how soft the front suspension was...
    Under hard braking on 2 occasions before the bin the back wheel came up when the front suspension bottomed out I guess
    ..cant lean while doing a stoppie
    When it comes down to it I have noone to blame but myself..
    totally gutted but I dont reckon i was riding above my abilities..
    I totally agree now that speed should only be attempted on a track.
    Confident the aprilia rsv4, IS the one

    Only a fucktard would post this mishap on the interweb thingie. Someone more devious might be inclined to not tell a soul, insure the bike regardless, wait a few weeks and then put all the bits back in a field and call a tow truck.

    I am amazed you think you can combine the above statements in one discussion.

    My advice and answer to you question about giving up, is to have a break instead. Do not get into bikes again until you are about 27 or 28 so that:
    • You can pay off this bike
    • You can assess if biking is really for you
    • You can save for your next bike
    • You will mature and be more sensible on the road


    If you keep going I fear you will not make it to 28

    Bummer. - glad that you can still write about it.

    Bikes crash - it happes to all of us. I ride professionally and have put much more expensive motorcycles in a ditch.

    Take your time - clean the bike up - list the damage and set about replacing and repairing. It's only a machine.

    And get an insurance cover note before you ride the next one anywhere.

    Maybe you should have some lessons too.

    Sorry for your pain.

    Your aspirations have exceeded your abilities.
    (1)
    The biggest problem was that you knew this and did nothing to prevent it from happening again.
    (2)
    Of course you were riding above your abilities, the evidence is clear, you could not brake in the distance available, and you crashed.

    You should not ride this bike or any other until you have learned something about how to do so. Your comments show you have got a pretty twisted version of what riding should be, stop now before you kill yourself or someone else. I am not kidding/joking/taking the piss... just stop.
    Then get some good quality training, and when you have paid off the bike, and achieved a level of competence that will make you safer, then think about buying a machine that you can handle, instead of a high performance race bike.
    Please, take this advice and that of the others here, stop this.
