I do not understand the purpose of this thread ____________________ will never give up his CG. I look at my fuel gauge more as a progress bar than a fuel gauge.
G: With my GSXR I do often effectively use it as a scooter with a clutch in town.
ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston? |

Just like a car, i'd assume you'd get lessons to learn the controls and the rules of the road, and then go out and gain further experience by yourself
Regarding crashes, a visit to Hein Gericke or similar, and getting the right gear, will soon sort that element of biking out (providing you're sensible)
If you keep crashing, then imo you need more training. Failing that, stop biking as it's not for you. ____________________ -- Ingah |

That just reminded me - I once sold a bike to a guy who later told me that early every morning he would ride across the same junction at about 60mph. His reasoning was that he'd calculated the amount of time that it took him to traverse the junction, and it was so small at that speed the chances of there being another vehicle on that same piece of road at the same time that early in the morning were so small, that the thrill he got from scaring hmself shitless was well worth the risk.
I then pointed out to him that it was common for vehicles to park both sides of the road to the left of the junction, causing vehicles approaching from the right to wait - right across the road he was coming from. He changed his mind after that.
