Rider etiquette at Vinduros.

[GMC]

The correct riding etiquette is so elegantly displayed by this prim and proper gentleman

That's more like it Geoff. I've exhibited some woeful form from time to time. So glad you haven't caught it on "film" (yet!) J

If you owned the bikes he does, you'd be a devout follower too.

Well, thank you Geoffrey. Some less charitable persons have described my riding pace as glacial but I prefer the description of 'stately'. I ride by the credo of 'if you want to perform tricks such as aviating the front wheel, breaking traction with the back wheel and occasionally lifting feet from pegs, then you should join the circus'

Nathan, I will not dignify your comment with a reply...............well, apart from this one.

You are already in the circus its called VERi see you next week Coco when we drop off the VERi jackets and pick up the SWM motor !!!

Didn't think you were game enough to actually get out on a bike...



No wait, we did let you have a ride around once while being pushed

[jerry]

I will have you know Geoff that the mighty Bultaco will start any where any time. I choose to stuff around with the cold start thing just to get Drakie to push me so as to dissuade him from continuing this absurd practice. I will however concede that in your previous batch of photos my friend Andrew is bringing me a milk crate to stand on to help my arthritic hip gain a mechanical advantage over the ergonomicly (is that a word?) challenged Bultaco kickstart.

one question? when is it appropriate when assisting punters stuck in a bog to leave and ride on.....as there is always another stuck punter! (lemming factor)

[Nathan S]

If there's a stream of riders getting stuck, then the rider(s) you help then have to help the next person who gets stuck, allowing you to ride off. The basic rule is that you help as many riders who have helped you. But you can help more if you want.

Very occasionally you'll get someone who thinks that other riders are there to help them alone, but even then, most of the time they'll only need a gentle reminder ("once we get you out, you're going to help this bloke, OK?").

It is perfectly acceptable (indeed, encouraged) to leave riders on non Japanese bikes where they are, or use them as traction.

Leave them there so we know where the soft spots are if it is tex stop in front of him and fill him in!!!
