Now no one is insulting you so lets leave it at that. You made your point. Just because it wasn't endorsed by me doesn't mean we should labour this debate. Although I welcome you to Wales to come for a ride sometime. Genuine invitation. |

Thanks for the invite, but Wales is a long way, and I'm not much up for attending sv650.org events any more, unless its with people I already know and want to see again. Those of this forum that ride with me know I'm smooth and safe, and very quick when I want to be, though that's not very often nowadays, I have a wife and son to return home to so prefer to leave plenty room for error. I've lead rideouts on a 43bhp trail bike with nobbly tyres and had SV and sportsbike riders comment that they're struggling to keep up. I'm still alive after 21 years riding and can honestly say I've never crashed unless I already knew I was pushing beyond my ability (i.e. I was riding balls out on the limit and taking silly risks), and its very rare I have any type of butt clenching moment. I don't have anything to prove by coming to Wales and dont feel that I need to see anymore of the riders in the videos in order to justify my opinion.

Wow, wish I was as amazing as you. However in my opinion you really need to work on your social skills.

Exactly, I'm 31 and I'm just as fast as I was 5 years ago (faster, thanks mark!), what's his problem!

So long as you're happy with how you come over that's fine. Guess we all just have different opinions on acceptability.

I do find it quite ironic though you saying that you can't judge somebody's riding from video footage, yet you feel you can judge somebody's personality and social skills from a few forum posts. |
