Re: How to kill a Fireblade
every one of those guys crossed the center line... in twistys no less and at slow speeds. I am no where near the rider I want to be. I'm not even near the top in my group. That's why I stay at the back of the pack, and I NEVER CROSS THAT LINE IN A CURVE. If you can't stay in your lane. stay in the straights.

It looks to me as if they canniot ride properly anyway, bikes are not leaning into the bends the riders are pushing them down while staying upright themselves so they have no control or knowledge.

Yep, they are. They're there to direct idiots into oncoming traffic

Na, that was a case of someone just going for the lazy line from start-up. Oddly enough, the English are pretty well travelled and do realise that other (although not all) countries do drive on the wrong side

Flaming is okay, as long as you don't do it in the introductions section.

On this occasion, I'm doubly okay as I'm not talking about a fellow member... You pillock!

Re: How to kill a Fireblade
Before this turns into a very big arguement, please remember what this thread was originally about - How to kill a Fireblade.

But yes, the member of public in the video was stupid, and yes as a result of being stupid he has lost his fireblade and the respect I had for him as a rider. He rode over the limits e.g. on the other side of the road when going around blind corners and he also assumed that there was no cars approaching the corner that he was taking.

It was his fault, and he paid for it dearly.
