    The whole time that was playing I was thinking to myself, "If there is a God, he's gonna point this dude in the direction of that hole." Priceless.

    I really think SOW should get a smaller bike. Death becomes no one ,and if he's for real I will say please get some training and a mentor to help with learning the basics. Yes turning a corner at slow speed is basic. A monkey can ride in a straight line. The toughest part of riding is slow speed manuvers. Ninja 250s are great for learning on.

    He should get a lowered seat, and get the bike lowered both ends at least slightly. but that won't fix the "performance aspect of bike!!" so I don't think he's thought of that. if you drop 2 bikes, 26 times, you're obviously too short for them, or you are not going to get the idea of riding motorcycles. if in 26 days you dropped once a day? how can you even claim you're learning? after 3 weeks with my GSX650F I stopped having "close calls" of drops. period. and he says he's got closer to 30,000 miles of riding time.

    One of these things does not add up.

    I got high sided in oil and I tumbled to a stop from 85. I also rebuilt my bike from the ground up after. Does that make me a nub too? If you dont know how he managed to lay down at 60 you should probably stay away from that kinda speed. Sounds very risky for you.

    Hey, Norm. A threadjack here. I live in Alaska, but I would love to ride in Australia and NZ for a Man-Cation - wife not invited. How is the riding down there?

    Hi Alaskan,nothing fantastic here in Victoria, bits and pieces around here are ok, some bits up in New South Wales are ok, Tasmania is good , nice quiet good roads and scenery. New Zealand is very good but in all honesty up around where you are is probably the best. Australia is pretty flat except for the east coast and they are only hills compared to your stuff

    hey, hey, hey. Alaskan and NormK, lets not get off topic here. My appologies if I'm overstepping my bounds as I'm not a moderator, but... Ok, SOW, SOT or VI (I personally like the term Villiage idiot), is he an evil genius, a world class sarcastic comedian or just a really luck sod defying the principles of described by Darwin? resume kibitz-ing.

    BTW, the recommendations for a lowered bike... won't work. He's already admitted he lowered it all the way down to the ground.
