Well,that puts me in the idiot basket too. I rode to the top of Bago on my own on Sunday arvo to have a sit and think session whilst looking at the awesome view.
I will admit that I was riding pretty slowly looking for single trails that I would normally hoon past. Found a beauty too.

Mick you dont need to post here to go in the idiot basket, although I am suprised theres room with Dave in there. Maybe there is room as Dave should be off learning to add I reckon, 1.2 or 1.1 or whatever and logs to work it out :ohmy: Sounds like a hell of a fairtale for reading the kids of to sleep to me :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Strucky has had good luck, from bad luck as a result of poor risk control, I am sure he has learnt an extremely timely lesson, between that and the plethora of dirtbike deaths this year I am sure he has taught all here something.

The main thing is he is alive and breathing and has room for recovery, and that’s what you should do Bloke, recover.

The rest has happened, ain’t gunna unhappen.

Best wishes for your recovery Strucky.

Bruce Cee.

Would have been better but the message is the same
Now all I have to work on is delivering something else hard :laugh:

Strucky mate you are starting to become a bit like your riding com padre Puddles :laugh: any excuse to not go on a ride :laugh: No mate get well soon rest up and get yourself ready when the riding season kicks back in.

I have rode many a time by myself,generally at a much reduced pace cleaning up tracks,looking fo new ones,getting the jetting sorted etc etc. Any one who says they have never ridden by themselves at some stage is flogging themselves

What we do is inherently dangerous they are the risks that we are prepared to take to have fun. Its what gets the adrenalin flowing the blood racing and the fact you are out there doing something not festering away sitting on the lounge watching the crap on TV. All I can say is when you are on your own reduce the risk to an acceptable level. ride slower,dont pull that massive wheelstand up the gravel Rd or climb that monster hill that you always have trouble with. Let someone know where your going and when you are expected back,carry your phone and preferably a hand held GPS.

just my two bobs worth,keep it safe Ollie

At work here we make a few of our weekend solitary workers carry PLBs, (personal locator beacons) while worth between $400-$700, this includes the registrationetc and if you activate it, the Australian search and rescue mob are immediately mobilised (after a quick phone call to a nominated rep of yours to ensure it is for real) and the beacon will enable them to narrow your position down to, yep where you are laying on the ground exactly.

Just food for thought.

EPIRBs? If you happen to have one go missing I’d love a christmas present!

Rat, your soap box rant is a tad silly IMHO. I mean some people are taking less of a risk riding alone than others are riding in a group based on their risk controls so if you’re going to get stuck into strucky you should really put your cape on and take on the world while you’re at it. I think go ahead and point out the obvious risk in it and state your opinion on it but getting stuck into him and calling him an idiot is no different to a greenie saying serves you right for braking your leg and bleeding out while your 15 ride buddies look at each other for what to do under the argument that it is a “stupid” risk to ride a motor bike through tight tree lines.

FWIW I’ve ridden alone twice and both times I compensated to control the risk. I took a demo bike out by myself the other week at Kitchener and took my phone, a GPS, told my wife and the bike shop I’d be in contact within half an hour and always stayed near by the road. I’m not going to claim that I eliminated the risk but we all know of and accept levels of risk in riding and other activities daily.

I acknowledge I’m only a young bull and you might claim I’m being naive but I’m just calling it as I see it and with an open mind.

I’ve ridden heaps of times alone, but as you stated AB, measures in place to minmise the chances of encumbering myself or others with my lack of judgement, I never ride out to the spot alone, always from a camp with others, or on property and not far from the yard.

With the amount of riding mates i had as a kid, if it wasn’t for my brothers, all my off track riding woulda been alone.

Austblue – Rat does know Strucky pretty well so whilst it sounds like a whipping it’s not quite as bad as it comes across knowing the all the facts. That’s the problem with this tinterbob thingamy :laugh:

You can’t say Dave isn’t passionate
