Don't worry about it, I edited out some rather uncouth words that were directed at you after seeing your first apology (it came in while I was still typing).

did i wake up on the wronge side of bed or what!
sorry for the abuse people,proper pissed off this mornign but thats no excuss
if you belive you can handle it do so-its common sense yea,but its a lot more than that
say you went from a kmx 250 to a yamaha R6-now any one who knows those two bikes may share my thoughts,
take it easy
While I agree with what you wrote there one hundered percent, outside influances do have a great impact on riders. You have to be extra careful of not only your riding ability, but you have to pay special attention to other vehicles around you on a bike. I don't know how many people have either been to my shop to get their wrecked bike fixed or buy an entirely new one because someone turning in front of them or came into their lane, truck side swiped them etc etc. Bikes are super hard to notice on the road for the average driver who in all likelyhood isn't paying attention anyway. Your reaction time and skill MIGHT be able to save you (I did a serious nosediving stoppie one time on my GXR 750 to avoid a guy who all of a sudden said the left hand lane was the lane for him even though the stop light was going to red ) but there are definatly situations that you can't avoid (had a friend who was decapped when two cars were racing side by side the opposite direction he was going). All in all we pretty much go with this saying where I work. "There are two kinds of bike riders in the world. Those who have been in accidents and those who are going to be in accidents". However, accidents dont' have to be that bad or fatal. Maybe some dented or broken parts or scraped paint.S1NN3R said:Not all 600s are that fast, and not all 250s are that slow. Going to a 400 if you've mastered a 250 is a waste of money. A 400 might be a good bike to start out on if you want something a little more that a 250.
And as long as we're on the subject, I know a GIRL who's first and only bike is a GSX-R1000, and she's been riding it for coming up on a year now. She's not dead yet, and from what I know, she hasn't even laid it down once. Yet, I know a guy who bought a Ninja 250, and two weeks later he went through the back window of a parked VW Jetta at 70mph. He hasn't walked in five years. The bike doesn't go any faster than you tell it to go and it doesn't stop any later than you tell it to. So it's not the bikes fault if you kill yourself, it's your own damned fault.
