When the brakes are not strong enough, use a bush...

Please slow it all down and keep practising

Hi... I followed a link from another forum to here (your video is being discussed on numerous forums). I tried to post some links to your YouTube page but the poxy anti-spam system there binned the posts...

Have you already signed up for some training?

If not, try one of these. Today or tomorrow. There may not be a next day.

Still need convincing that you need some training? As I hinted, your video is being discussed on a number of other forums.

The most succinct comment I've read is from this thread...

'Public Transport required, I think'.

That should be better to judge my corner ability (or lack of). I do agree that I need to look through the corners more but apart from that I don't think I'm that bad. Maybe I'm mistaken.

Hey dude i watched this second video, first off I am newbie as well I have had my SV less than year. Next I think quite a lot of those commets on the other site were just plain nasty, so don't worry about it.

Mate do not be cutting corners like that.....I went to a rather nasty accident were a scooter did the same he cut the corner. The rider was so damed lucky not to be run over. The bike got wedge under a parked car and between the car it hit. The rider went to O/S off the vehicle more luck than judgement. Please don't end like this rider did, in the back of an amblance.

As the others said keep riding and enjoying riding thats why we do it. Next do a bike safe course it will help you no end. I'm doing one next week.

Also where do you live in beds? Like others said I'm happy to ride with you, but I don't have enough experince to help with your riding.

It will come with time and praticse, keep riding and enjoying it

You probably mean well but if I were the OP, I'll have only two words for most of the folk commenting on the links you have put up.....first letter of first word is 'F' and last letter of second word is 'F'.

Oh and your post comes across very patronising as well.



Cheers
Ben

I think Seggons has actually been out riding a lot recently, I know of two rideouts that I have seen his name on the attendees list. Kwh your input is not needed, I think you have come along to put it a little bit more in Seggons's face, and as said above by the mighty Ben I would tell them all to kn0b off(in a ruder fashion)!

Yep, we've ridden with him a couple of times, and there was nothing wrong with his riding that we saw.

I too have been on a rideout with Seggons and I could see nothing wrong either.

I'm not an SV650 rider or a member of this community, I'm just a passing stranger. But with respect, this thread isn't forceful enough if it hasn't persuaded the original poster to get himself some training as a matter of extreme urgency. Preferably before he rides the bike again.

If there had been say a concrete drainage channel or a bit of farm machinery between him and the hedge where he went straight on in that gentle right hand bend, this would be a condolence thread. And if you go straight on at three right-handers in one ride, and don't hit any pedestrians, high kerbs, walls or road furniture, then you have been extraordinarily lucky.

This is compounded by the fact that the OP clearly doesn't understand why this happened, and is blaming all sorts of things that have nothing to do with the matter and not the actual causes, gross deficiencies in his riding skills. Which means that he is not able to learn from the mistakes on his own and fix them because he doesn't know enough to know that they are mistakes...

See http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...18/MN73840.DTL

...so he is doomed to repeat them. And he will surely die of it sooner rather than later if he does.

It would be nicer for his friends to tell him gently, cajole him, and give him a year or so to get used to the idea that he needs to sort some training, sure, but he won't live that long. I'd have thought that every ride he survives unscathed is a triumph of fortune over probability and there is no way he will survive the summer.



Oh, and to the OP, I'd go and kick the bloke you paid to teach you to ride in the ******** right now, because you won't be able to after he has killed you.



By the way, I'm only posting here at all because I reckon I spotted a stranger on the internet who is living on borrowed time without realising and I thought it would be nice if somebody stopped him killing himself. I have no axe to grind with the OP, don't even know the first thing about him. Except that he's going to die on a motorcycle very soon unless he gets some help.
