Do you think people on here need reminding by a random person? Every single person on this forum knows the dangers of riding a bike, and safety tips, features and equipment are covered very often on this forum.

TBH people probably aren't taking the attitude you would like because you're being so condascending.

We've heard it all before and everyone knows the consequences if things go wrong while out on our bikes. We don't need someone ramming it down our throats thank you very much.

The two pics in your 'stop read this' thread don't work, other than that I haven't seen you say much on the matter. So a few people saying 'but we can't see the pics' isn't terribly representative of 'the attitude' is it?

I would say every person on here who has been a biker for more than a few years has known somebody die on a bike...or in a tree...

trying to preach some message is just going to piss people off.

I don't think I would enjoy biking as much if it was really safe.

Hey dumb ass the pics didint work Shocked

Wow little saftey nazi. We all know the dangers the min we cock our leg over the bike. We dont need to be reminded that people are dead. Maybe you get a slight satisfaction in doing so but i sure the hell dont. I wanna ride my bike and have fun not think every corner (when i find one Wink ) Is gonna kill me. If this was the case no one would by sports bikes we would just get cruisers and be done with it, Sports bikes are hedge missiles Do we care. Well i dont, i love it.

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.

Hi guys out there, I feel my message has not hit home. If you want to die ok but what about your friends and family who are left behind, don't they count ?.

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'
