My bike screwed me up, although I guess it could have been worse :roll:

Nemesis kicks ass

ALOT worse darren!!!!

ALOT worse darren!!!!

ok ok, i got off lightly, i'll be riding again in exactly 2 1/2 weeks

My bike screwed me up,

YOU screwed you up.

And until you accept that, you'll be doomed to repeat that scenario over and over again.

1. Agreed 100%. The adrenelin rush you get from going fast is addictive and people actually get hooked on it and need more and more and more.

2. Agreed 100%. The consequences on a trail bike are less severe though.

That you are still riding after your experience, proves that biking is an affliction :roll: Once bitten, forever smitten!

Bikes...

twice as addictive as heroin

twice as dangerous

and twice as expensive!

YOU screwed you up.

And until you accept that, you'll be doomed to repeat that scenario over and over again.

That's not what i meant pete. I know i screwwed me up, i was refering to INCIDENTS on a trail bike like mine. But then, come to think of it, it was less severe than my friends crash on his RS50

Darren....you've repeatedly blamed either your bike or the wind.

The reality is you fucked up.

Now until you accept that fact and learn from it then you're at risk of doing the same thing again. And next time the consequences could be far worse.

Now....tell me what you have learnt from that incident....and tell me what steps you have taken to prevent that happening again?

I'm not being harsh on you....but if you were my son, then that's what I'd be asking you. And until I'd got the right answers and seen the right mental attitude, then that bike would go nowhere.

I went too fast into the corner, focused on the wrong place as i started running wide, and lacked the experience to fully correct my line and speed once i was into the bend :roll:

How fast is too fast?

And what are you going to do to prevent it happening again?

about 40ish, and it was from the wrong line because i was half way through an N bend.

WTF is an N Bend?

And whatever it is, there isn't one on that road.

left-right bend. The signs look like an N

And I know where I crashed :roll:

Do you mean an S Bend?

That's where you went wrong then....you saw an N when it was an S.

The Q bends are bad bastards.

i went round a bastard R bend once, didnt know if i was coming or going

I did an I bend and ended up where I started.

i went round a U bend and ended up in the toilet

They say N on the signs

And pete, O bends are called roundabouts 8)

I went round an O bend in 1980 and couldn't get off it.

I'm still on it now.

 They say N on the signs  

Where's the bend in an N?

It's 3 straight lines. :roll:

There's bends in an S.

Where's the bend in an N?

It's 3 straight lines. :roll:

There's bends in an S.

There are two corners 8)
