Hey y'all GalvTexGuy ask me an honest question yesterday " Exactly what ruffled your feathers so much that you felt like you had to scold us? I think, considering how some new members have been treated, she's getting off pretty light, if you ask me." Truth of the matter, it was none of you guys and gals. I had a really bad day at work yesterday, because every thing I touched turned brown, tapered on both ends, and stunk, and I am apologizing for taking my bad day out on the readers of this here thread. If I could still edit my post, after a good nights sleep, It would have been gone right after I woke up. Instead I'm having to apologize after getting back.

For starters, you should read a bit more closely before posting responses.
Not only are the OPs of the two threads different people, but the OP of this thread is posting about crashing on a public roadway, and she was posting about crashing during her class in the other thread. Two completely different things. So why are you even mentioning it? Are you just trying to embarrass her for repeatedly dropping it? Why not do something to actually help her?

what the fu## is wrong with you?

If you bothered to READ (which you clearly are not) I suggested she get a metric starter bike and beat on that. why beat on a brand new Harley learning to ride.

So your idea of "help" is to tell her to crash a different brand of vehicle than the one that she's currently crashing?

What an astronaut...

You're an absolute moron.

YOU YOURSELF asked her what her 'rider training' was (see image). Then you hop on my back for my link which answered YOUR question. That makes no sense whatsoever. Sounds like YOU were trying to embarrass her.
Point the finger in the mirror bud.

Sounds like the Annie Green Springs talking.

The first step in diagnosing a riding problem, is diagnosis, which starts with establishing a starting point. Hence I asked what her level of training was, so that I would know how to help her.

Crashing is not part of learning how to ride a motorcycle.
