Protip: decide an agenda (pretend someone is paying you to push it); write your conclusion; invent some "facts" to back it up.

What, your tutor/teacher actually set this topic?
| andyboy359 wrote: | motorbikes |
If not? Well, you are off to a bad start..... "Oh.... MOTORBIKES! He's picked his hobby.... oh, no not another one..... well, lets see what he has to say about his pet passion....."
Rather than "Recycling" or similar politically correct bit of indoctrination that will get the tutor's blood up....
"Ooooh! this could be interesting.... he's showing a social concience! So what has he learned.... I'm all ears!"
Tip: Read between the lines, and like when a woman says "Do what the fuck you like!" Know that that is NOT what she means... what she means is "Do what will please ME! I dare you!"
But, OK... lets do your home-work for you..... you know that putting polls up on forums is a very bad way to earn marks too, dont you?
If you want to impress them, go find some obscure guru on the topic who has had umpety papers published in accademic journals, and qote them mercilessly.... doesn't really MATTER whether you quote them in any useful way, or whether what they have to say has any relevence in teh real world.... its showing 'Accademic Reasoning' and 'diligent accademic Research'.... mention an interweb 'source' and rather than picturing you digging deep into a dusty old library late at night, they picture you doing something on a smart phone between pints in the SU bar......
Where were we?

Trying to help you claw back a few marks.... state the fucking obviouse.... teachers frequently lack imagination, or they wouldn't be teachers.
Safety Wear - does NOT make you SAFE.....
Not CRASHING is what makes you 'safe'!
You can have the best safety wear in the world... and its all utterly redundant.... up till the moment you CRASH.
Don't crash... don't need it!
Then.... if/when you crash.... well, its all a bit of a lottery still. None of it is a Marvel Comic Invulnerability suit. You fall off.... you gonna get hurt.... only question is HOW MUCH?
And 'Safety Wear'... can only limit how much you get hurt, not stop it.... and even then, only between certain limits.
Fall over at walking pace and bump your bonce on a kerb... your crash hat might only absorb as much impact energy that a thick wooly cap might if you walked into a low door lintle! All the ratings in the world.... impact is so mild, only a fraction of its potential is used.
Face plant a mack truck doing 60... well.... you are going to be toast, aren't you? Or at least the Brown Bread before its stuck in the oven.
Safety Gear dont make you safe. Riding defensively, makes you safe. Hazard Awareness makes you safe. Machine control and evasive action makes you safe...... GEAR? limits hurt.... some-times.

Q.1 Bottoms
A) Jeans
B) Leather bottoms

D) Other (please specify) |
On a race track? Leathers. They have lots of good abrasion resistance for a long high-speed slide down grippy delugrip. Not so much use on the rad, where something is likely to bring you to a sudden halt before you have slid very far.
In Off-Road Competition; well, we call them jeans... but they are more like lightweight breathable jogging trousers, with big pads of soft foam in them. Not likely to slide very far. But hard packed earth or rocks hurts. But I compete in classic class... I tend to wear real 501's or a pair of Levi Chino's, if it's hot. Lurid Trials-Jeans dont seem to go with an old-bike.
Road? Depends on the weather. Water-Proof's mainly in this country! Under them? Well, most often my regular street-wear. Whatever I wore to the office (when I went to the office), or jeans.
Frequently these days, as I am usually only popping accross town, or to the local shop, or just testing a bike I have fixed or adjusted.... soft joggers under a pair of mechanics overalls.
Though, few weeks ago.... and it has gone down in family legend.... Donna got herself 'stuck' between ridges of re-frozen snow either side of the pavement off the drive, and I had to go rescue her..... and ride the bike off the drive, then down the road to turn round and being it back up for her.....
I was in a dressing gown ans slippers at 4 in the morning.... in the dark.... in the fucking SNOW.
So the answer on that occassion was 'Nothing'...... my eldest, and I joked whether a passing coppa would have done me for not wearing acrash-helmet of indecent exposure...... all I can say is......
Bare bollox against freezing cold petrol tank is NOT a pleasant experience!
| andyboy359 wrote: | Q.2 Helmets
A)Full Face

C)Moto-Cross (Off road) Helmet
D)Half Helmet
E)Open face (3/4)
F)Other (please specify) |
Race Track? Full-Face.
Road. Full-Face, Flip or Open.... depends where I am going, what mood I am in.
Trials? Depends what they make me wear. Regs didn't demand one until about 1995. Then we were allowed to wear puch-bike hats if we wanted. Now has to be a Trials beanie or open-face, for contemprary competition; but Classic classes have exemptions, and unless I have to I wont bother with one.
Why dont you have a check-box for 'None'... See above comment on half naked night ride!
And What the heck is a half helmet?
| andyboy359 wrote: | Shoes
A)Racing Boots
B)Biking shoes
C)Trainers
D)Flip flops
E)Other (please specify) |
Track? Gearne Race boots
Trials? Gearne Trials boots!
Road? Whatever is on my feet! See above comment on half naked night ride! Most commonly, boating pumps, or cow-boy-boots.

Not a hope.
And what's happened to jackets? or one-piece, or over-suits? Or wax-cotton?

WHY can't people make online surveys for data collection FFS!
It's really not that hard. I'd even go as far to say it's easier than convincing BCF to do your FUCKING WORK FOR YOU  |
