When I first met Franko through the club he told me (warned me) to ride within my limits, not the bike's limits. It's a message that my mate Busgo reminds me of regularly also.
It's kept me upright so far, though as we know, and as we've witnessed recently, even if you;re riding slowly and safe, you still may end up in a bingle...
I figure I'm working with "probabilities", and I aim to reduce the probability of a tragic incident...
No amount of "I can rider quicker than you" or "I can corner faster than you" is going to make me risk losing my friends...
I just hope I ride as sensibly as I'm thinking now, even though I know that's virtually impossible to do 100% of the time.
"sometimes, crime does pay"
