I rode with Netrider for a little while which mainly has L/P platers. I found their culture was to try and ride hard around corners even though most are very inexperienced riders. Travelling through NSW and Vic this seems to be the case with this club. I heard of many stories from members of their own previous accidents, being injured and with screws and/or rods inserted in their injuries.
Even though complete idiots are rare, this club seems to be full of them but there a couple of nice people in there. In the first 1-2 weeks on being there I went for a group Thursday night ride in which one of the administrators came along to 2 of these rides. The second ride, riding over the westgate bridge which is high and windy which learners have problems riding because of the wind blowing their little bikes around. The administrator comes barrelling up the bridge over taking his members rides past a female learner at about 50kmh faster than her and slaps her on the arse then rides past another member and tries to slap him on the back of the helmet again at 50kmh faster than this guys travelling. Second incident; On the first ride the week previous, when we got to the Boulevard in Kew this administrators taking these corners rediculously and I said to myself that this guy is going to wipe out on a corner soon one day. About 10 days later during a Tassy ride he takes a corner he has never taken at to higher speed and wipes out breaking a shoulder and in addition needing shoulder cuff surgery if I recall the injuries correctly. A COMPLETE IDIOT! Also he uses the site to get back at and insult his club members he has a grudge with inwhich many members leave in protest for themselves or others...how stupid is that? Netrider has to have the highest road crash incidents for a club that I ever have come across...take a look at their forums. Many other forums note the riders and the administrators inadequatecies.
