"... left them incapable of recognising the gravity of the situation..." I wonder if this was intentional. :dunno:

Perhaps, but one could argue we never made it beyond 1984. :dunno:

While I agree that you can't worry yourself to death about it, I think that worrying about it a little is what keeps me alive. I've had a few close calls, and they were all the result of somebody else doing something stupid or not paying attention. Fortunately, I anticipate it and have been able...

Ditto - I didn't intend to turn a matter of perspectives into an argument, but it seems that's what happened. The point I was trying to make to the non-riders out there was that not all riders condone or participate in the hooliganism described by the OP. In your original post, you went on...

Agreed - 100%! Also in agreement with this. Also spot-on... And at the risk of contradicting my prior posts - I agree with almost all of this (the only exception being the bold): This is basically the scenario that would cause me to lane split - Very hot temps and very slow/stopped...

Oops! I've been browsing the forums here so long I didn't realize that was my first post! I'll keep it short since this was not my thread... I started lessons 15 years ago and had to stop due to school/finances/etc. I was about 30 hours in at the time. Fast forward to last year - (school...

After a short flight one day - as I was headed back in to land, there wasn't any other traffic in the pattern. The tower had already cleared me to land. As I was on final, the tower came back and said "Ah, caution - there's been a flock of pigeons circling low midfield. They've landed and...
