LP understood what I ment.

I disagree. If you're gonna tell someone they are "a prime candidate for killing themselves" then you are assuming that their riding is gonna be the cause, otherwise how else is LP making himself a prime candidate?

Apparently I'm at imminent risk due to speeds I occasionally reach, so what's the difference?

Bottom line is, if anyone jumps to any conclusions about other peoples riding, expect to have your own views scrutinised.

Plowsie, since when did I become your b1tch?! :smt103 PMSL

I feel I must apologise to the thread creator as all of this is getting a bit off-topic. It was not my intention to "shoot anyone down". However I consider LP to be a m8 and I won't have anyone criticise a m8 when they can't offer justification for it.

So to get back on topic ...

I personally don't think banning bikes from anywhere as lovely as North Wales is the answer ... and nor do I think that "having a quiet word" will work with some bikers either. My own suggestion would be perhaps to improve/increase road signage, and maybe even to make it targetted at bikes/bikers! Combine a road sign that says "TURN TIGHTENS" and tie half-a-dozen bunches of fresh flowers to the post and it would IMHO* be more useful.

However, there will (probably) always be a very small minority that just won't pay any attention :confused:

*IMHO = In My Humble Opinion, which, if you disagree with then you are entitled to come up with reasoned arguments against ;-)

That'll be me.

This thread was always going to be derailed. It's such a stupid story.

Derailed threads are always the best :cool:

Well I wasn't the only one who didn't ... I'm sure I saw someone else tell you they thought you were out of order for telling someone to mind their own business :confused:

The difference is that if you want to criticise your own riding no-one gives a sh*t ;-)

LP jumping to conclusions about other peoples riding.

It's not my, or anyone else on heres place to comment on anyone elses riding, because no-ones perfect. That's all I've been trying to illustraight.

When you said those that do 3 figure speeds should be caught and banned.
