Wow, what a looser! ( sp loser) I hate ***** victims.
I responded to his article with the following.
Jerry,
As a 45 year old motorcyclist with road racing((not aproper noun ) experience, 26 years of continuous street riding experience and 10 years of motocross racing experience, it is very clear that you have very little knowledge of motorcycles. (the use of very is redundant and verbose
Your explaination explanation of motorcycle braking, and high siding a motorcycle obviously show that you clearly know nothing about what you are writing. (stated in previous paragraph)
Did you know the reason that the rear of a road racing bike comes up, is because you are braking so aggressively on the front tire? It is impossible to learn how to stop a motorcycle from any amount of experience? This just sounds like an excuse because you didn't learn.
Did you know that high sides are caused when you are turning, not braking, and the rear slides out and then regains traction.[SIZE=14pt]?[/SIZE] A high side has nothing to do with loosing control while breaking braking.
Just because you have ridden a Harley doesn't mean that you know anything about how to handle a performance motorcycle.
Maybe the article should have been about your incompetance incompetence in being able to learn how to handle a motorcycle properly, and if you had studied the sport, as if you were an athlete, you may have had better luck with the sport.
Maybe you should have mentioned all of the things you personally (redundant: the pronoun you implies reference to the person) neglected in doing on the path to becoming a competant competent motorcyclist. Such as a MSF course, track days, dirt bike experience to learn how to handle sliding in a controlled environment, reading books on performance riding, studying motorcycle handling dynamics and, of course focused practice in a controlled environment, over and over again.
Instead you have chosen the path of the liberal media victim. "It's not my fault, I'm incompetant incompetent.", motorcycles are dangerous.
Take personal responsability responsibility Jerry. To master any skill or sport takes effort, practice and dedication. Maybe the article should have been entitled, "$20,000 might buy a Harley, but not the skill to ride it"
