I saw a really odd thing tonight.

I was on my way to Asda in the car, roof down, music on, taking my time, moved over to let a guy on a 125 race rep (on Ls) overtake me cos he was obviously desperate to. He's heading towards Asda too so now I am pootling along behind him and the bit of road we're on has at least 4 roundabouts between where he went past and Asda.

So first one he slows down, changes gear, then MOVES HIS FEET TO THE EDGE OF THE PEGS (BOTH SIDES) AND POINTS HIS TOES SO THAT THEY TOUCH DOWN AS HE MAKES THE TURNS!

I am like WTF? I mean I've seen the niutters on peds who go round corners with a leg stuck out like they are doing speedway but I've never seen anyone try to get a boot down on a roundabout before! Maybe I imagine dit and it was just the way he was leaning? So I make sure I am right behind him for the next one and he does tha same again, changes down, moves feet, toes down. All 4 roundabouts.

I'm thinking "all it would take is a bump in the road or a pebble or something and he's off that" so I go into mum mode and resolve to have a word with him when we get into Asda. Unfortunately by the time I have parked up I've lost him and I can't see him in the store anywhere.

I'm still shaking my head about it now. What a loony!

If he was a chav, why give him that kind of safety advice?



Let him be!

Are you telling us you have a shit car that is flashy but can't catch Chav on a 125?

I take my sliders and boots into work and give them a seein' too with the angle grinder much safer.

Ouch, i would hate to see him keep that bad habit onto a more powerful bike.. broken ankle anyone?

Although if he gets training before his test they should get it sorted..

As has previously been pointed out, one pothole and he's not going to do it again.

He's probably seen Troy Bayliss making his toe sliders spark on the track and thinks it looked cool so he would do it too.

Anyone want to tell him Plastic doesn't spark.......
