Am moving stuff into new house tonight & all day tomorrow, if any of you SA boys are feeling helpful.....am pretty organised right now, everything that can be boxed up, is, and there aint that much big stuff, and most of it aint that heavy....modern appliances seem to weigh lots less than i remember Fridges, etc, weighing when i was in share houses, with some 30 year old dunger fridge!
:rockon::cheer:
:spank:
as he has no fear....none whatsoever!
Maybe we should set him up with a couple of kids...they will slow him down! Nothing like Daddy duties to make you think about the consequences of a "big one" as you tip into a corner, fully committed, with a tree or armco staring back at ya, about a bike length or two away!
...lol.
I have plenty of fear....lol...it's what keeps me alive:thumbup:.
I don't do Gorge Road.:spank:
I generally do roads I know very, very well (I can't begin to stress enough just how important track knowledge is) and never as hard as I would go at the track. I don't power out of corners up to high speeds very often so the risk of a tail end lose and high side is less and I don't brake hard going in, so there's little risk of dropping the front. I just ride round bends at the speed I'm doing:thumbup:.
I easily got 40,000km out of my brake pads and they were still going strong when I swapped them out for my track day.(Should have kept them...at least another 10,000km in them):cheer:
I just hang off the bike and scrape stuff through corners. As long as the roads looking clear it's nothing too crazy....If there's debris or it's night I slow down.:thumbup:
And I usually choose my spots to go hard (track knowledge again).
The two biggest worries on my mind though, are dumbfreaks with car keys and petrol money, and bike failure.......if something breaks mid corner things could get ugly
But there is plenty of fear there....stops me doing stupid stuff.........mostly.
And makes me appreciate the track an awful lot. Long live track days:rockon:
Not Ever.....Never....lol. Like I need some evil, smart alec little snot machine taking up my riding time...lol.
+1 I have had that happen coming into a corner,the decelerator cable snapped on my Kwaka 1000,got ugly real fast !if something breaks mid corner things could get ugly
I have plenty of fear....lol...it's what keeps me alive:thumbup:.
