dont sit next to each other when going over a hill

been in more poker runs than most i reckon bar a few mates in clubs that are older members than me seen heaps come off an its normally the ones that dont ride in a pack the weekend warriors i call em got the bike got the big tune got the bling and got the 3k worth of harley gear as well in over 30yrs riding in clubs i havent ever seen a clubbie come off cause of lack of skill brakeing ect have seen few cause of fuckin cars ect an have seen a few get hit by weekend warriors if ya in a poker run best just stay where ya are an enjoy the ride the members will an do over take an get the traffic sorted so the pack gets trhough the biggest problem is when ya all havin a great time an the noms n members have stopped the traffic or the filth have an some weekender sees the red light an fuckin stops causein a massive chain reaction
as a rule if i was sortin the ride used to dish out the rules before we left first stop that way everyone knew wtf was expected an never had any offs for over 13yrs

if ya get a front tire blow out at over 80 dont grab ya brakes an try stoppin the best thing to do is slowly back off the throttle an go down gears slowly keep both feet out to the side of the bike incase ya get to wobbly (only put one foot up quikly to change down a gear ) never use the brakes just slow down usein the gears an throttle then once ya stopped an up near me call me lol same goes for rear blowouts
was on back one the mates bikes sittin on 140kph an boom scared shit outta me he grabed for brake so i told him wat to do an we managed to stop if he hit the brakes wouldve been fucked i reckon lol worse thing was i only out hosp from shoulder op 4 weeks before an im yellin at him dont send me back to hosp ya big cunt lol

most know who i am in the big blue gang most in other clubs do or did when i was rideing i got nuthin to hide mate an am proud of who i am an who im with ,,all good

Here's a tip: Don't sit one metre off my cars arse when we're doing 110kph in the mornings peak hour traffic. Traffic was chockers across three lanes but we're all doing 100/115 kph en masse.

This morning there's this f*ckin' sports bike rider up my arse, Mr Casual with one hand on throttle & one hand on his knee at 110kph on the M1 weaving to and fro from me left brake light and back to me right trying to get a look ahead. He stayed there for ages and when he eventually passes I check him out: full face helmet, leather jacket with 'Monster energy' drink symbols and ..... cotton shorts and boat shoes no socks.

He's to-ing & fro-ing across the three lanes like itza 'Super Mario' game and he sits maybe one metre off everyones arse. Trust me, he's not long for this life. Whatta dick.

 

 

Dont think because you have made eye contact with a driver that they will do the rite thing.I found out the hard way with my girl on board that they don't.do not trust anybody but yourself.

Yeah finished up safe after a very close call.

 With new tyres, ride like it is pissing down for the first 100 - 200 kms, you have to wear them in. 

a very old man told me this many yrs ago ...never ride any great distance with ya wallet in back pocket ,if your doin a run thats over 20klm away always put wallet in ya vest ect ,if you leave it in back pocket it will give you an uneven surface to sit on and after a few months ya will do damge to your hips an lower back
think bout it i always put mine in my cutoff an never had any probs on runs an i used do big ones cairns brissy strait through brissy adelaide ect only time i havve prob with back is now cause i fucked it gettin my car outta the bog 4 weeks ago lol

if your doin a long ride to releive the numb bum put a bit of lambswool on ya seat i used ta have a old ugboot i cut up in the 80s sit it under ya ass an you will find the numb bum, stays away a lot longer

ex wives n girlfriends all said damb your arse is hard lol i told em i had calleses from the saddle still workin out if i rode bikes more or the mullets close to a tie me thinks

in the early 80s road to glen innes fuckin cold hole of a place the beer was colder sittin in a glass on the bar than in the tap lol went outside an this old fella is in his sadlebags an put socks on his hands had gaffa tape around his neck an a beanie with the top cut outta it an his legs n feet were wrapped in garbage bags lol i said you want to borrow my waterproof pants ol mate he said im not one these flash cunts that buy all the shit from the factory but then he said and this has always stuck in my head YA DONT HAVE TO LOOK COOL TO BE WARM great comment that one wish some clowns that own half the harley dress shops would live by that sayin lol they would save thousands lol

 TITS! that's what i say TITS.

T:- Tyres, check tyres are up.

I:- Instruments, Check they work.

T:- Temperature, Make sure ya not to hot or cold, correct riding gear.

S:- State of mind. Never go riding when your pissed off or road rage is inevitable.

Remember to always think of TITS when you go riding and you will have more fun! I do.

Go for a ride in BALI,your the majority not the minority,theyve got it sussed! Use their horns all the time, not being fuckwits but just to let everyone around em know they are there! So use your horn and get some NOTEworthy pipes!

 Look for dark patches on the highway and be ready for the bump just before it

Thanks for these, will come in very handy, any tips for cornering?

 Yeah, as the above post infers, I always look left and right before entering an intersection, even if it has lights, and especially when taking off as they turn green.

Don't daydream.....anywhere, anytime.

Cornering. As has been said many times before, do all your braking before you get there.

However, I guess like many riders, once and a while you find yourself a bit hot into a corner and end up pushing your luck. I've always been mindful that in a corner, the rear brake will pull you tighter, the front brake will stand you up. With this in mind, I think you can brake in a corner if you really have to wash off some speed, but of course you have to be very careful. If you brake hard enough on the front to stop it turning, you'll go down.

Watching those videos referred to in a post way back, you can see the front wheel locks up in some of them and down they go. Mostly there was little choice anyway, they were just too fast in a corner. I hate those ones you encounter on an unfamiliar road, that tighten as you get into them!!

Please note the above comments are my views only, I'm not really that responsible when riding, and I'm no expert....

Taffy, that sounds like the guy who taught me to corner. He said "Look....push".
Meaning look where you want to end up, and push your correct hand on the bars. Right turn, right hand.
Taught me to counter-steer without even knowing it.
Now when in unfamiliar territory, i hear his voice in my head "Look/ push"

 i dont think any one has mentioned it yet, haha some humer

dont think anyone has mention it yet but dont look at yourself in shop windows while riding past. you may get a scare how dorky you look and run up the arse of a car.

yeah, I've done that.

 Here is a CLASSIC example of why you take it easy on new tyres!!!

Seriously - If you think they are feeding you bullshit when they say take it easy on new rubber - maybe this will change your mind.
