Is anyone on here an average (or worse) rider?

I can get my knee down on an almost upright motorcycle. I must be awesome.

If you laid my bike down on the floor I still couldn't get my knee down

Well the old gits who've been doing it for years and are still doing it must be doing something right, even if they're not as fast as they used to be.

Me, I was never as fast as I used to be...

I'm average I'd say. Unless you get me on a track, then they'll have to invent a whole new group just for me. The "look, just get off and push the fker round, it'll be quicker" group.
On the road I'd say I do the basics pretty well, but no fancy wheelie/knee down antics.

Not quite as quick as I used to think I was

The older I get the faster I was.

Now, on track days I'm a bit to fast for intermediates and a bit too slow for the fast group ( I find it a touch too competitive these days). Done a bit of off roading in my time. Can pull a moderate wheelie when in the mood but only off the throttle, can't do clutch up. Have never done a burnout (why waste good rubber). Can get my knee down on track days but rarely do ( just not called for on public roads).

My greatest achievement is that after 30yrs of biking and in excess of half a million miles I'm still in one piece and would like to keep it that way. My biking god days are long behind me now assuming they ever arrived in the first place.

I'm ok until I open my eyes, then it all goes wrong.

everyone is apparently boringly average on here by their own admission. This thread would be more fun if everyone had to say how good or bad other people are...




Im average.

Im average.

You're average.

[bogie]

surely "average" is actually quite a high standard, when you consider you have pro racers at the top end and recent DAS test pass riders at the beginner end ....in the middle is actually going to be quite good

[curlie467]

fk it then, he's below average, I was trying to be kind.

[Jazoli]

I was awesome once, now not so much.

Well, that depends.
Which average do you mean ?

Arithmetic mean


Pythagorean means




Geometric mean


Harmonic mean


Weighted mean


generalized f-mean




Comparison of arithmetic mean, median and mode of two log-normal distributions with different skewness












Yeah, I'm average!


But I can ride my bike off the drive without crashing.

There goes the neighborhood.

Did someone call my name?

I'm pretty crap I guess.

However I don't consciously counter steer so I reckon that's why I don't crash cos I keep the wheel pointed in the direction I want to go rather than yanking it the wrong way.

People go either side of me when on track but I have more to live for than them.

Depends how you measure success on a bike?

Oh God... Here come the flat earthers...
