I think they should be made to take a refresher course but tbh I don't think it would hurt for us either! My mate would have been a prime example of a born again if I hadn't stepped in. He was determined when he came back to get an R1. So I gave him the keys to mine after 10 mins he came back pale and sweaty and bought a bandit 600!

They an interesting article about born agains being retested. What do you think?www.motorcyclenews.com

When I got the R1 back Icouldn't look at it with out bursting into tears and wanting to throw up. It was already twin piped and had a different paint job. I told my other half to fix it and sell it. He fixed it single sided it (it had to have a new one anyway cos it was f**k by the company who took it to storage) and gave it a different paintjob. Funnily i didn't want to sell it then. I still won't ride with people I don't know tho and I have only been out one sunday this year ( lets face it sunday is moron day). I still do trackdays tho that doesn't bother me at all.Strange :?

If you think that's funny... Last week I sold a £1500 Alpinestar suit to a man who came in with his boyfriend. Thing is neither of them even own a bike or intend to!!! Yuck

hope you don't mind female southern pooftas tho

I don't completey disagree with you. 2 years ago I was the victim of another bikers "incompence" he was sitting to near the white line and a camper van coming the other way (it was a narrow road and it was over the white line) hit him. I don't know what speed the van was doing but it was more than the 40mph limit. We were doing 40 (it had just started raining and besides I know the police ALWAYS sit in the layby just before the limit ends) anyway the van hit him and threw him back down the road where he landed literaly under my front wheel taking me off. He was killed, I got a broken shoulder and all the vehicles where impounded (did you know that they treat fatal accs like murder investigations they impound all the evidence and you don't get it back until a satifactory conclusion has been made. They had my bike for 9 months in the end but they said they can keep it forever if they don't solve the case) there where other bikers as witnesses I didn't know him or them but the police decided we must be lying and that we must have been racing and decided they would therefore try and prosecute me for reckless endangerment. They even came to my place of work and dragged out to be interviewed (in front of customers I might add) I had to get a solicitor they asked me millions of irrelevent questions ( the one that sticks in my mind is why isn't my my R1 fitted with ABS??) and I had months of stress and sleepless nights until the CPS decided that there was actually no case and what the f**k where they trying to do to me. So you see I am fully aware of the possible consequences of mine and other peoples actions.I've lost 2 good friends in the last six weeks cos of other peoples actions but the fact still remains that:- 1. Going fast is fun 2. Everybody no matter what bike they ride can sometimes over estimate there ability.

Aaah an old pro... interesting..
