Death of a GS

[Tractors are go]

Panjandrum also starts with a P along with other words.

The main thing is "mate" walked away uninjured.

Sometimes, we do the same thing and 99 times no problems then there is the 1 time that ends fucking your whole day up.

Tis not all bad, at least you don't have to worry about corrosion and your forks falling off.

 

[Warlord]

Why is it not true bends don't just appear or move around?

I've experienced rare wide sweeping bends that suddenly switch back. Suicide bends I call those. They'll lead you into a false speed and you have little time to compensate without using brakes.

That isn't bad planning.

Slow in fast out, if you're not familiar with the road ride slower especially if you're unsure what is around the corner.

Ok thanks for the tip

Quite true, slow in fast out, saves brake pads as well and been Yorkshire men we don't like spending unless we have to

Bingo

Look I'm an Advanced Rider as well. I'm telling you there are very nasty rare corners out there that'll force you into using brakes.

You'll find out one day.

Seven pages in and no sign of Mr Bear and the sandwiches

They would be the ones caused by sliding and scuffing down the road for 40 yards then

Possibly but they are just of the centre line on the left hand side, which struck me as a bit weird.

 

[Engineer]

You don't always have to brake before a bend you know, good riders seldom do

Idiot

If you had read my post in the correct context and spirit and not jumped to conclusions you would not have made the reply that you did.

What has skipping breakfast got to do with anything?

Well spotted

This thread is going crackingly well. Engineer in a fight, people backing him up, others shoving the boot in; fine impressions by Warlord who, if only he'd have been the rider, would have a full screen print out of all sorts of data in his inevitable video film; and to top it off, a moaning rant (or is it a ranting moan) about insnorance, that - somewhat disappointingly perhaps - does seem to have been resolved to the injured party's satisfaction, the insurer shelling-up as must they should.

Nothing now needs to hold back the release of as much video evidence as possible for the delectation (and undeniable critical appraisal) of UKGSer bikermates up and down the country.....

It's what makes UKGSer great

40 years, is that all?

Possibly as the wheel spun on the Armco barrier

Tiredness kills, take a break

And a famous mantra for biking " Loose your view loose your speed"

I use my Six P strategy

Perfect Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance

Pillock

My strategy is; if I am going too fast I use the brakes, Pillock

Here is some advice from one of those advanced riding chaps.

Modern bikes have fab brakes so use them.

No it doesn't t, that's for sure, but it can move a lot quicker than expected sometimes , as Warlord alluded to.

 

[JJH]

I've been using brakes for 40 years. I find that it's the best way to loose speed or stop. JJH
