do you know how many times i have had people preaching to me about bike saftey etc.
I dont think that i or anyone needs another lecture from some stranger about peoples attitudes to riding, to me its all a calculated risk and i think that it is for everyone else too.

Should you restrict everything you do in your life incase you die and your friends and families suffer emotional grief?
Personally, I don't think anyone would be significantly worse off if I was to die. Am I allowed to be dangerous now?
Most of the road riding I enjoy does envolve some danger, I do try and tone it down these days as I would like to keep my licence.
If I was to ride 100% safe by your stanadards (which I'm guessing at, at the moment), then I would not enjoy road riding at all I suspect.
I do expect that a lot of people on here ride inappropriately, beyond thier own limits. I also expect that they don't see this, so you're unlikely to change thier views.
Trackday fast and road fast involve different skills and different types of fun. I do do trackdays and racing, but neither is the same as filtering down the m4 at 130.
Life is for living, in my opinion.
Personally I do think the main issue is to know the risks you are taking and be happy to accept them.
What attitude did you expect? One where everybody suddenly says 'oh, you're so right, I will stop riding fast now that you have shown me your not working pictures?
Also, it's considered rude to use capitals, especially in a thread title. Why does your thread deserve to stand out over others? |

I agree with McGee (Rhymes)
Every biker knows the risks and dangers in biking, and each and everyone has accepted them. The only thing you can do is ride safely and use protective gear. If it's your time to go, it's just your time.
When a biker dies, the phrase I always hear is:
'Least he/she died doing something he loved'
Ride Safe  |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 21 years ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
