I read it. There's one.

I think it would have been satisfactory to just link the review.. but I read it all the same. I like to read as many reviews as I can, about all different types of bikes, just for fun and to stay on top of the info ladder! heh.

If a post is too long for you, you can always just stop reading it, or ignore it.. That is the beauty of the internet.. you don't have to sit there and listen to someone if you don't want to. Just hit the back button.
I'm glad you agree a link would have been better. Disk space is not free for Mike, and no one is required to pay. Thanks for understanding that point.

Jeeze, if you're going to insult him, at least do it with good spelling and grammar. Your stuff is painful to read.

Full race leathers insane? Uncomfortable maybe. Safe? Yes.


dont take my words out of context to make ya self look good ;)

Let me refresh and rehash for those who are a little bit slow.


My point in question, pertained to the fact that a person with 100% no skills has gone out bought a GIXXER and if that isnt enough, rides it in full race leathers, if you dont find that behaviour a liitle bit worrying then you need to relook at "SAFE !!!" as a motorcycle riding concept again.



incidently how many of you who dont do trak work own full race leathers ??? im not talking 2 peice here im talking one peice complete with sliders and matching boots

My post was in response to the "leathers" part, not the "bike" part. Those of you who are a "little slow" might want to read that again :laughing: I found that part ironic and that is why I responded. Full race leathers are better than no leathers or even partial leathers for that matter. Sheesh, if he wasn't wearing full gear you would be all over him for that.....

So what is the problem if he does?

Fine, you want to play the game, I'll play the game.

Across "the pond" what do you call a person who pops up to insult people for no apparent reason. A person who derides the skills and abilities of a person he has never met, and never seen do anything. Who has nothing to back up anything he has said. Someone who expresses himself poorly and seems to think that E-thuggery is a great way of life. I know there's a name for it over here, but it's just going to get grabbed by the forum filters.

While I do not approve of his choice of bike, I do approve of his desire to learn, even if he is more focused on getting skills that are not as important. I'm impressed at his ability to ride through all the crap that gets thrown at him from the forum, though he has to expect some of it (lol at scarf).

Now I could take the easy way out here and make fun of you for riding a scooter, or I could make fun of you for not living in North America or, or something as simple as your inability to spell even the simplest of words... in fact there are any number of things. But that's irrelevant at this point. What you're doing is not conducive to anything, calling someone a fooking idiot will not make them do what you want, it just annoys them... Come to think of it, I think you're jealous of what he's spent his money on, I think you're jealous that he has a bike like that.

Being an E-thug is not "kool dood." It just makes anything smart you might possibly have to say (as unlikely as that is) more likely to be ignored.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

England is "across the pond", not Australia.

Whoops, the rest stands.

The term "Wanker" is something I associate with England for some reason.

I get a kick out of their slang terms, all that wanking, rooting and buggery, knackered bits, etc. Just don't come to N. America and say you're going outside to blow a cigarette :mrgreen: they might really mistake your intentions.
