VFR Safety Info

i like this one :
23. More than half of the accident-involved motorcycle riders had less than 5 months experience on the accident motorcycle, although the total street riding experience was almost 3 years. Motorcycle riders with dirt bike experience are significantly underrepresented in the accident data.

its a bit of a read, and american, but still relevant, also by noting things like this you can reduce the risk to yourself when riding on the road.

 

[Sidney]

so if you ride a dirt bike you are better or worse??

 

[xFOADx]

Would be better. They are underrepresented, means they don't show up in the crash data as much, which means there isn't as many having accidents on the road. Could be any reason for this, just an interesting observation by the reports authors.

I've had a car intentionally run me off the road, I'm talking full sideswipe where the move kept me pinned to the car. Well I'm a better rider than he is a driver, and I stayed upright and started punching his window. Once our vehicles had stopped we had our little 1-on-1. He had an overnight stay in hospital to think about his attitude. LOL

hahahaha I can imagine you fighting in full leathers LOL

 

[Squeeby]

You got a fair point there Ruby. I didn't think of it in that way. Anyway I'm still unsure of getting a road bike or not. You're more in control of the variables on the track but road riding is great too, just dangerous. I think I'll get a road bike anyway but yeh, I couldn't be more aware of the dangers.

 

[pascal125]

whoa ruby, i know that motorcyclists reveice tonnes of **** from certain car drivers but i don't know anybody that has actually been side swiped by a car, lol. i couldn't imagine somebody hopping off their bike and having a go at a car driver, lol, yet i know if it happened 2 dad, he would have done the same thing LOL.
speaking of cars..was any1 at the phillip island races 2day or yesterday?
cheers

Your best protection on the road is your awareness, your skills, and your attitude. No one plans to crash, but dress in full gear as if you are going to, and scan, scan, scan for bad drivers. Unfortunately, this is not something you pick up when you buy a bike, its something you learn and train yourself to do without thinking about it ... it becomes automatic.

 

[Sidney]

And his excuse for running me off the road? I gave him the finger because he was tailgating me!

hahahaha just ghosty your bike into him ruby that will do the job LOL

 

[yelloww proX]

rubys bike = worth more the that hoons car hahaha

 

[Sidney]
