Poor Ol Strucky

[TrentMember]

Yeah I figured that based on the references to working together. All the same Dave’s posts carry a serious tone with nay a smiley plonked in each of his first 2 posts!

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.

Spot on AB well said

You mean the naive young bull part right :p

Here’s a free lesson for this bloke and us about how dangerous acts when riding. In this case it was the solo rider that was in the wrong but I dare say it’d usually be the solo rider cruising on the left shoulder and the group leader smoking around the corner the fastest way possible.

Rat and I have exchanged emails and respect each other’s views. And just so it is clear I’m not promoting riding alone, just pointing out that we all share a common interest in what is unarguably a dangerous pass time and riding alone isn’t necessarily the most dangerous way to enjoy it.

Firstly I would like to thank everyone for their well wishes. I was in emergency for over 4 hours waiting for them to decide if a operation was needed.

On the debate as to riding alone I have done so on many occassions without incident however it is something I would consider more carefully next time. Waiting around in a hospital makes you think that things could have been alot worse however on this occassions luck was on my side.

Thanks again for all your thoughts and Merry Christmas to all of the old bulls.

David I look forward to catching up with you to discuss my nick name as I agree that stupied dumb strucky does not rhyme.

Cheers
Strucky ( THE LONE RIDER )

Hey rat what are you on. my comment was only about the debate Strucky’s incident has caused. nothing to do with my own personal opinion which I shared with you via phone but have chosen not to share on this site. I think you need to take a deep breath & step back for a minute & not read into things to much or get f#@%$d because my opinion is mine & if you don’t like it bite me
