I wish I could ride better cause the guy at work who has an r6 flames all the time for wearing full gear. He rides in shorts and t shirt no helmet. I wish I could shut him up.
it is easy to improve ones skill sets with time and patience, keep focusing on yourself and what to do to make yourself a better rider, understand your bike more so and if the opportunity to get some track time arises then by all means get on it.I wish I could ride better
just becauseshut him up
then no offense greasy but he has already beaten you mentally without getting on the bike.....the guy at work who has an r6 flames all the time for wearing full gear
I would agree with your first two points. However I don't think you can fault him for chirping back when he was getting poked at to begin with. I think it's a funny story and based on gloomshadows posts, and his crash it seems like he has a pretty cool attitude. If you call someone out and you don't have the skill set to back it up you deserve to get made a fool of. $.02Slow down on the street, take your attitude to the track, and try to educate rather than belittle people who ride without gear.
PS I love the SV650
I used to have the exact same outlook on life. Trust me the older you get the more that attitude will pass as you get more things in your life you love and would hate to leave behind. Just make sure you live long enough to get to that pointYeah I need to take some pictures next time.
and for all the "ego checkers".. I got 22 years on the street , been in and out of comas.. lost 4 bikes over the years.. disintergrated a Ninja 600R on to some ones driver side door.. bla bla bla and every one of the serious wrecks that happened to me were and normal street speeds involving uncontrollable factors like animals, cars and pine needles.. most of the minor ones involved low-sides, too much lean angle and not enough speed or slightly too much throttle exiting the apex... most of the time its not a big deal. Around town Im a "good boy" most of the time.
But Ill take a dude that talking too much **** and well go out on some back roads out here and Ill work him over.. and if I end up in the back, that's OK, Ill just be behind you PUSHING you faster, until you back off that throttle. Im ex-Infantry 1/327th RECON and 1/506 Airborne, Ive already put my life on the line for this ****** up system, I got no problem putting my life on the line for honor.. I don't really care if I die when I get mad.. I guess its just in my DNA to be a ******* bastard.
do I have a "ego"? **** YEAH!!.. who rides a motorcycle and DOESNT HAVE A EGO?? Knock it the **** OFF!

I get your argument that something's can't be avoided but at somepoint in life you need to look in the mirror and say. Maybe I'm the problem and fix it. After as many wrecks as you I think I'd sell the bikes and move on. But good for you for jumping back on that horse. You have bigger testes than I .
I am a chicken tender having ʎssnd after my accident that almost took my life.
i never drove or rode wild after that. some things leave a lasting impression that last a life-time.
