You "needed" to have a drink to socialise with your workmates. Since when did "socialising" and "drinking" become inseperable? I'll leave Rossi to say it completely, but alcohol and bikes don't mix.

Well said. "I needed to drink to socialise"?? I'd love to be polite about it, but that is purely sad. I'd love to see a copper's response when you tell him that after he's done you for drink driving. "But Mr, I needed to drink, or I wouldn't be cool like the other boys!"

*shakes head*

Are you sure riding a bike is for you?

thats a serious quality post.

colette is right, just cos u can start a bike and ride, it doesn't mean u should ride it.

HP, i'm sure during ur training they told u not to use ur rear brake in an emergency brake situtation. ur suppose to gear the bike down to first, release the clutch and use front brake.

seriously, if u cant stop the bike in time, u should consider some further motorcycle training. A trackday is not motorcycle training.

just consider urself lucky.

then they just looked at me did nothing as i 3 gears down and started my bike again and fucked off......

You are a Legend mate, keep up the good work.

Anyone who can skid past a breatho unit after a few sherbets, and get told to Fark Off by the coppers has done *really* well not to be locked up. That is Pure Gold in my books.....

Oh, and don't do it again you naughty biker scumbag....

....I love how people fuck up and then jump on the net and tell everyone about it....

Unreal isn't it !!

Nice work HP!

Look mate, I of all people arn't gunna give you stick for having a beer and riding. Yep for sure it's a pretty fucked up thing to do, but hey, a lot of us have done it, especially the more....errr long lived riders in here, who grew up in a culture of riding home from the pub pissed as a mute! I lost a few mates who didn't make it home from the pub in the early days.

But these days, with you becoming a murderous criminal for it, I would never even contemplate it!!! I'm not too worried about that bit, as even you admit it was dumb and you won't repeat it.

What does concern me mate, is that you have been on a group ride with me, and you don't know how to stop your motorcycle!

That's a real worry HP! And I am deadly serious when I say, don't come on a group ride again...untill you have learnt how to ride the bike at least to it's basic level! If it was a dirt road, or pissing with rain, I could forgive you! But knowing how the weather has been lately it was dry!

Before you end up Hurting yourself at minimum or God forbid killing yourself, or someone else, please go and get some instruction on basic riding skills! Being able to pull your bike up for a random breath test without locking the rear brake is about as basic as they get and you have demonstrated a clear lack of skill in that area. Mate seriously go and do a course which teaches basic bike control, including the approriate usage of the levers!

I don't agree with the riding and drinking crap it's BS either way

BUT how ever emergency braking is using both rear and front brakes... If you where only to use from you would end up in an endo...It is all to do with gravity etc.... Basically it is hard to explain in words, however it does help stabilize and control the bike, as well as providing a little extra stopping power.We can demonstrate the differences if you like. Anyway IF you want we are offering you FREE training in learning to do this....Basic skills at RideTek.. Seeing as that are for FREE though you will need to use your own bike... You know how to contact us and if you need training please just ask....

Cheers Lainie

when i did my L's at stay upright they told me to use both brakes.
when i did my p's at hart i was told to gear down and use front.

in a real situation, i've used both and they have both saved me, however the first option makes ur back wheel lockup, slide out and can cause an off.

Sorry Lainie but thats crap!

There is a huge difference in doing an endo and emergency braking with the front brake only.
Yeah if you jam the front on as hard as and fast the bike may lift the back wheel.
But you can brake extremly hard, to the point of the front wheel chirping and the back getting light, without ending up on your arse.
Its called brake modulation.

Hey people who have riddeen with me know i am by no means the next Casey Stoner but i did take the time to learn how to stop fast if needed and do a u turn ( hey Plas )

I think he needs to get out from behind his computer and spend more time riding.

DECA are teaching the both brake method - "Front, clutch, rear, gear."

considering the distances of teh both times taht i had, i think i've done well, which i have nothgin to brag about

i was able to get the white line at the lights and stoped before hitting the traffics and bining teh bike!

i know what emergency braking is and i must admit i didn't perform it as well as under well-prepared situations.

at least i know now the braking capacity of the bike

it's liek if u never locked up ur wheels, how u were to know what to do and how to react when u did it?

i took it as a lesson in riding. a good one too.
