Wait, so I should come back and post after I've had a "few hundred" near misses? Jeeze, that should really tell me why I should be riding in the center of the lane…I need more near misses…hundreds of them! That will show me!
Ever question why you've had "hundreds" of near misses?
It's not just experience. It's experience + training, period. Reading what you just said is absolutely funny. Do you realize you could be doing things that are just plain WRONG so many times that you believe that they are right?
I've had hundreds of near misses because of the time i've spent in the saddle, I bought my first K1/750 when i was 16 from Phil Beaumont motorcycles in Brisbane city, I worked across the road from them, my work in motorcycle shops, my job as a motorcycle courier in Sydney, Riding motocross bikes, track days and 100's of days at the track pit crewing for my mates that race, the fact that for the first 21 years on the road a motorcycle was my primary form of transport ,and I lived and worked in major cities here at the time, not to mention all the wheel stands, power slides, mad runs up Mount Tamborine in QLD and Maquarie pass and National park in NSW, or the countless days fish tailing our 750's in my mates dads trucking yard driveway when we were young and fearless, we did things on 750/4 Honda's that would make you cringe, and i put a lot of bigger more powerful bikes to shame in the twisties with my early Honda's , thats how i know my old Honda's, apart from the fact i've owned around 20 odd 750/4's as well as another 20 odd bikes up to 1100cc, but you see, none of that matters to people like you, you "think" your always right, nothing anyone else says makes any difference, you are a try hard, you can't stand being corrected, so you make sh1t up as you go and dispute people with far greater knowledge than your own. You may think what i wrote was funny, but its true, like it or lump it. Your bizarre premise that you are the only one doing things right here is the fcuking joke of the century, do you even read what you post, its absolute rubbish and anyone thats been around bikes for any length of time knows that... Anyway I Didn't read any further than the quote because you are an fool, the stupidity and lack of reasoning in your simple retorts bleeds lack of time and experience in the saddle. Training, training, training, woopee, Training is good for beginners {and some others} but its not training thats rides your bike mate, training is in a neutral environment and its not meant to give anyone a false sense of security, Quite the opposite, You remind me of a girl in my music class when i was doing my music diploma, she was young and had been driving for 3 years, she was telling anyone that would listen that she was a great driver, I disputed that and she got all p1ssed off {just like you, couldn't be told anything}, she wrote her car off and nearly killed 2 other students that were in her car , she'd done her driver training courses as we do them at school here, she lost control of her car and didn't know what to do, she soon realized that she was no where near a being a good driver and time is the only thing that makes you better, not courses, not bullsh1t stories, time and experience, so come back when you have something credible to add... Just for you , ANYONE thats done 100's of 1000's of miles in the saddle will have 100's of near misses, especially in the city, if i have to explain why to you then you really have no idea, you come across as being quite naive and ignorant which is kinda funny for a know it all......
