stradlater Forums Junkie Location: Arthurs Creek, Victoria Registered: May 2002	Re: Cars are boring! Fri, 28 June 2002 04:44 Well, you could combine the dirt with the bike and get a dirt bike. I have a bike that when it's in it's prime, IE clean filter and proper fuel, the thing fly's, reaching reaching it's top speed considerably quicker than most road bikes would to the same speed (roughly 100kmph, NOT their top speed). I'm a fair advocate of dirt bike riding, given the fact that it's a lot safer, there's no cars to run into you, granted that if you fall off when you are 20ft in the air, then yes you are going to be hurt, but there's no bus coming the other way at 60k/h to run you over. Road bikes just have far to many dangers associated with them when put on the road with cars. However, as yogi was saying, when on the track, they are just as dangerous, maybe even LESS dangerous than CARS whilst on the track, cos if you fly off, you ain't likely to flip over ten times with ~1 tonne of metal flying around you. And, another thing, I often wonder why people take their pride and joy, IE yogi and his car, into a paddock to effectively make it into a paddock basher?? I've run many a car on the paddock, and they were exactly that, paddock bombs. There'd be no way you'd be finding my $15,000 bundle of joy flying around my top paddock. Too many man hours stuck into that little one. Anyway, that's my rant, I'm going overseas for a while. [Report message to a moderator]
