I took it as a gratuitous insult.
Is that wrong?
If so please explain where I was being pedantic.

If you know how the system works then say so.
If you've got experience using it which backs up your argument then say so.
If you've read or heard something that backs up your idea then say that.
If not, and it was a straightforward observation / assumption / question on my part, then what's the problem?

Keep digging...

Not argumentative at all today, are we?
I said nothing to justify your insults. If it was in General I wouldn't give a toss, but I thought the 'rules' were different in here.
I know better now, so thanks. You can have the last word.*




*Unless that includes putting some more words into my mouth, of course.

OT, but have you read the descriptions of the new CBR600 ABS?

Argue with me: http://the-ride-info.blogspot.com/

I read somewhere a good while ago (can't remember, but I don't think it was MCN ) that Honda intend to put linked brakes / ABS on all their bikes in the future. A separate ecu for brake balance though?
The next generation'll have an ecu to stop people steering off the road.

They used the term 'advanced' which can be anything from linked to ABS etc. and the intention to fit something to all larger machines.

That rings a bell. The CBS/ABS stuff probably came from arguing discussion, can't remember. It didn't make me any more enthusiastic to buy another Honda in the future.

So, if it's broken up into patches, there is actually a large number of short grease strips. To say they're lying in wait for bikers is a bit anthropomorphic.

Sorry about the sore hand B.

A fool may ask questions a wise man cannot answer.

Bonners, you are a good rider, safe and thoughtful.... you may have just been unlucky, i know your riding well enough to know your not hamfisted apart from when you can't bleed your brakes lol....
i'll come give ya a hand tomorrow, get it fixed and get out for some gentle rides in the wet...... peace out

Had my first ride since my off. Never having had a proper tumble down the road before, I was slightly surprised at how nervous I felt. Lots of traffic around, although it was nice and dry, so have had a very slow and relaxed ride.

Took it very easy on the brakes, but basically had an error free and adrenaline free ride, very chilled out. Now I have got that out the way I will gradually start getting the practice back in on trying to make sure I am gripping better with my legs and not tensing up when I am braking, still a decent enough start.

Thanks to Andy (qfm) for spending some time working out the Japanese puzzle that is a vfr's fairings
