Default OK.....So who is it??

A series of photos has come into my possession of a CBRF member out for a ride......

And skilled riding it is!

Here we have the rider (note the side of the road the rider is on) setting up for a left hander a hundred metres or so ahead. Note positioning of the bike - towards the centreline, but the rider's head is sighting the apex.



Next shot, the rider is still sighting the apex and just beginning to tip in



Now the rider is looking through the corner with the bike set to tip the apex on the way through the corner......



So who is the rider demonstrating the CORRECT way to corner smoothly???

Cheers, SB

Good to see he is riding on the correct side of the ride.

This most likely places the rider amongst the 10% of the worlds population that lives south of the equator.

A considered and responsible approach to the corner, suggests someone with the wisdom built up from many years of dodging bullets.

And sharp crisp shadows = sunshine, the lucky country perhaps?

So we have a mature rider, probably from Australia, with a red, white and blue, that still has the original full length rear guard.

I give up, I'm stumped.

That excludes me because I'm not mature.........

Last time I saw you, you didn't have a full length rear guard either.

Knackie is currently in your neck of the woods Woof (well kinda). He's been in Maryland and Washington DC for the last month..................so no

I think the big hint was Kiwi TK's first answer - line 3

The rider is NOT from South Australia.

Cheers, SB

What, pray tell, is Knackie doing in that den of iniquity?

I'll try to keep guessing

Hmm? Who else has been abroad recently?

Only two things will get you into serious trouble in this world Woof. Motorcycles and Women - and Knackies' bike is home safely parked.............

As for the rider, I think I'd be tending toward another Aussie rider.

Hoo! My best wishes for the Lad, for sure.

Remind him that, for a young man, the bike will always remain loyal.

The rider pictured also own a 'bird?

The rider is 'flightless' in that respect.

(on/Yoda) Just one Honda CBR1000F he owns, meticulous he is, hmmmm (off/Yoda)
