General / Re: when does filtering become DWDC?
« on: 17 June 2015, 12:17:43 am »
Am I the only person to have knocked down two people when filtering on 2 separate occasions in 2 different towns  :rollin
Hit a flower seller coming out of London on the Westway.
And hit a woman who jumped out in front of a parked Bus on the High street in Oxford.
Only time I been hit by a car was in Banbury in a similar situation to Red98's
I finds peds will throw themselves at you because they only see the queued cars and don't look for bikes at all, and on dark nights they will wear Ninja clothing just to make your job harder at trying to spot them. :rolleyes

You find bike stuff it the bike forums.
You find Meetings Ride outs and Events in the Events Forum.
You find adult stuff in the Naughty Corner
In General you find all the other stuff that those that own Fazers and many that don't own Fazers, find interesting funny and anything else they feel like posting.

If you just want to read about bikes, stick to those Forums  :pokefun

I had to renew my card photo licence, I think it was because it was 10 years old it cost £20 plus £5 for a new photo, the one before was when I moved address but I think that was free?

I had to renew my card because it had expired to.
It's the photograph that goes out of date.
My new card liecenc has the same photo has my passport.
They are now linked on the government records along with my national insurance number  :look

General / Re: Back end slider
« on: 21 May 2015, 10:36:28 pm »
I still do no braking rides every time I have to brake is a fail. I was taught from the very beginning keep it smooth, don't surprise or unsettle/upset the bike. Modern bike brakes and suspensions are much better now. But I think keeping it smooth is still applicable

I should add modern tyres are better too

Not one of you has mentioned DON'T TOUCH THE CLUTCH???
That's what causes the rear to want to overtake you, or fishtail, because you've released the engine braking!

I don't see how this follows as your rear brake gives more resistance than engine braking (try stopping using engine braking, then try it in neutral with the rear brake).

Also, of course, pulling in the clutch means that you don't risk stalling and thus not being able to quickly move from where you end up which you may need to do in an emergency situation.


Only one way to find out isn't there?
Go and do an emergency stop, using both brakes, 70/30 or whatever, and try with the clutch pulled in, then without.
It all sounds nice reading and writing about it, but in a real emergency most people's natural instinct is to grab everything, it's just human nature in a panic situation.
This is just basic training and differences in braking techniques would have been shown to you during a days CBT (if you ever did one).


Note: Be careful if you try it with the clutch pulled in, I take no responsibility for any foc ups!  ;)

I quick shift down when I have to do unexpected sudden stops. releasing the clutch on every down shift, also use it braking into corners, when having fun.
It works better on twins, helps to keep bike balanced and reduces risk of the front washing out on you.
On some surfaces there will become a point where you need to release front brake pressure because it feels like it's going to wash out on you, or you have to change direction/duck around whatever has suddenly got in front of you not all emergency stops a a straight line situation. and you may need to head for that escape route.
It's hard to turn a bike when it's stood on it's nose

I see nobodies mentioned road craft, don't get into that situation in the first place,

Front end slides tend not to be controllable, you stand a small chance with a back end slide.
I recommend some off road riding get used to feeling the bike sliding around.
learn how to use quick shift downs, engine braking.
The road isn't the track,

No need to brag, everybody knows I am a riding god  :smokin
And as always, no one will see me ridem as I will be safety tucked up around the fire with a can of cooking lager in hand.

bikers, motorcyclists, two wheeled powered vehicle riders,
all find their space and and relax and enjoy the highly intellectual conversation and banter and those that do ride out always come back with tales of adventure and a fun day out  :sun
