Tim, you are a total dick. Riding on a track is no more dangerous than on the road. On a road yes there are other people around and you learn that they are all about to kill you. But if you think a track isn't dangerous then you need your head examining.
On tracks you are generally pushing your bike to the limit, going around corners designed to test cars, sometimes with gravel or bad road surfaces, and everyone around you is also going as fast as they can normally. Its all fine and well to say you wouldn't ride on a road, but if thats the case I advise you to never go on a track either.

I see that everysingle time I take my bike out, but I probably experience it worse than anyone else because I'm restricted to 30mph. Not only do I get the SMIDSY dickheads, but also because I can only go at 30mph people get pissed off so take more risky manouvers to get past me. And TBH, it scares the shit out of me sometimes. But I still ride because I love it and its the best feeling in the world (well, maybe except one
). But to say that tracks aren't as dangerous as the road is very naive. I'm not trying to put you off biking, but if you are too scared to take a bike out on the road than you'll be crap on a track. Its just as scary, or even more so, when everyone is pushing themselves and their bikes to the limit. Tracks are a different evnironment, and you can argue that they are safer than the road becasue there aren't cars. On some track there are cars however, but even if its bikes only there are much more experienced riders there that will want to get past you as fast as possible using any way they can. So maybe being on the road is safer - you come off on the road, there are verges to catch you, and normally grass or hedges. On a track? A lot of tarmac, then gravel, then a tyre wall. Add to that a load of bikes having to swerve round you at 100mph. And if you believe your previous comment abut bikers, I advise you to never go near a bike, let alone ride one.
Feelin lucky, punk?

I respected you post untill i read the last immature comment. but i will ignore that to the fact that you say on a road there are verges to catch you.. There are also other cars/lampposts/concretewalls/wirehedges need i go on?
Also, You say u go out on your bike? where do you go down to the local maccyD's, i highly doubt you actually go out to proper country roads. if u do on a 50cc limited to 30mph thats just stupid anyway lol.
There are far less people killing themselfs on a track than the roads.

There are less people killing themselves on tracks because A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION GOES ON TRACKS! Do you really think many people take their cars to tracks???
I go loads of places on my bike. Yeh, it takes longer than in a car, but there are some great roads a short ride from me which are nice twisty roads. I can lose cars on them, because I can corner much faster than cars. And its not stupid, its bloody good fun. Ok, its 30mph yeh, so what? It still means I can go anywhere I want on my own. I can go down to the coast and I have on several occasions ended up chatting for ages to other bikers. Its like a club. I get nods from other bikers. I've never actually been to McDonalds on my bike, becasue that would just be stupid. If you want a bike then you have to change your attitude towards other bikers.And also accept that you are going to come off at some point and a) its going to hurt and b) its probably going to cost you a lot.
I can't believe that you come onto this biker forum, and first insult us by calling us organ doners, then ask about getting a bike but say you are scared of going on a road.
Its also going to cost you a lot to get a bike, prepare it for a track, get it there and back and for all the consumables you are going to use.
Oh, and don't take the piss out of me, I've obviously got a hell of a lot more balls than you, and it seems from your previous posts, a lot more common sense.

Well firstly i have asked about getting a bike long before you even knew about this forum and have been posting on here long before you have..
i have seen the victims of bikers on teh road at a hospital and its seriously not nice when they hit a lampost or another car. you got more balls than me because you ride a 50cc ped down to the beach.?hmmmm and you have a lot more common sense prooven on what fact...?
What cars have you been beatin round this road.? im sure they wasnt tryin as you most probably was.
P.S can you stop spamming my thread with unrealistic facts.... i came here to get info not laire...

Yeh, its also not nice when they come off on a track at over 100mph - faster speeds on concrete, and often getting hit by other bikers = worse than a normal road accident

a 650lol its my first bike and im 16.. i am not that mental! lol but thanks anyway..
I'd happily ride a 650 as my first bike In fact, I'd love to. The only reason I ride a 50 is because I have to by law. You are scared to ride any bike on a road. FFS, you are scared of riding a bike on a road? Could you happily filter through traffic by going down the wrong side of the road? What about driving a car? Or do you need daddy to hold your hand?
Common sense? *cough*Arm band*cough*, and calling bikers 'organ doners' on a bike forum.

I raced my Dad from my house to his, its normally a 15-20 minute ride. He was driving a Lexus IS200. The only deal was to stick to the speed limits. Because I could corner better, get out of junctions quickly, and filter through traffic, I won.
I wouldnt like to ride a 650 bike.. no i know i wouldnt, i would only be scared to ride a bike down country lanes in a fast manor as ive seen what people r like as ive stated before. And my parents care about me so they wont let me have a bike on teh road.. SO WHAT?! they dont want to see my wraped wrong a tree in a years time as thats what happerns to a lot of little kiddies on there first bike.
i used the term organ doners because it is a commenly used for them in the hospital if you must know..
Armband.. Jeeesus.. lol thats old. it was all a joke
catch up.
AS i said before! stop spamming my thread with a load of cack..
