compared to the real thing (which I've done until it broke
my wallet and threatened to break my body) is FEAR.
A pair of spring loaded lump hammers aimed at the knees
and a disc grinder over the knuckles ought to do it....

IMO I don't think you can sim a bike. I've played GP500 and WSB etc (hey
'No second prize' on the amiga just plain rocked), but since getting and
riding (and breaking) the real thing I don't think I'll ever find a bike
"sim".
At speed so little steering input is used. Other moethods take over:
counter steerng
body placement,
*** off the bike,
getting behind the screen,
throttle blippin on braking
clutch slipping
etc
I just can't see a way to get what these factors into a sim controller.
As you ride a bike, you know that it "goes where you look"
I never used to have fear riding (well apart from watching for others
trying to get me), find out what I have now

SV650S - slight dropped.
Hmm, it's doable... :-)

I like Steve's list of things bike sims dont do, also:
bug splats
the smell of castor oil & hot ***
red flags & restarts
sweat in your eyes
apalling paddock toilets

The SV650S isn't fast enough to scare you, try an Yamaha R1..... :-P

It's going to take more time than mastering the ring!
I'll start my response by stating that every time *I*'m coming up to
Masta in GPL trying to pull a Really Fast One, my brain does a *very*
good impression of Utterly *** Sudden Death Angst and Wild Untamed
Rampant Self-Preservation Instinct,...
..and I'll end my riposte with this absolutely *classic* Usenet quote
from some years ago:
"DOOM not scary?! DOOM scared the hell out of me on a 386sx/25 4MB RAM
and an 8-bit sound card. If you have not jumped out of your seat at
least on one occasion due to a big pink shaved gorilla mofo gnawing on
Regards, Rudy
I read somewhere an interview with one of the 60's GP drivers talking about
screaming in his helmet as he went over the finish line at Rouen into the
flat
kink!
