I was in full control....honest!

[WD Forte]

We've probably all seen the vid by now but
just noticed on the beeb site the rider's been done for dangerous driving and said in court:
"I was in full control until I hit the fence"
In control?
OMG
WTF
STFU
Is that the best you can do?

Obviously not a canny bcf-er who would have probably
worn a suit, kept a straight face and said something like
they'd just overtaken a KTM rider and went too fast cos
he thought he was going to get chased, robbed and bum raped
for his cheek
"There's a lot of that goes on yer honour, I seen it on BCF.
well not exactly seen it, not yet, but was told about it
and waiting for the video to upload, but they don't lie on bcf"
" By the way, I'm parked on the pavement outside, thass ok Innit?"
and got off with a caution.

Yeah, should obviously've manned the fuck up and admitted to full on twuntery. Far too many wankers like this in the world, with zilch integrity. Arrogant twat needs a kicking, to be fair.

The clip is far to short to judge his riding ability. He passed the bike quite wide and crossed solid lines - naughty, but not necessarily unsafe for a bike. speed about 70 round corner?

It appears the last corner was longer than he expected, rather than keep bike leant over he brakes, panics and target fixates on the car/fence.

Are survival reactions a crime (if noone is injured, no harm caused..)? they can and do happen to anyone.

I see two over takes on solid white lines, which he captured & posted.
the actual crash as said above... inexperience

Seems he wasn't in full control of his senses when he posted his exploits on Youtube!
Total and utter Wang, for this reason alone, IMO!

His riding's not that bad, a bit straight line hero (the first bike he was following was better), but he ignored the slow signs and carried too much speed on the wrong line.

To then upload it to YouTube and get himself charged with dangerous driving is his fault Most people would have been embarrassed and burnt the video, he's just made himself look a tw@, made bikers generally look tw@ish and lost his bike plus however much the farmer gets for his fence (which won't cost a f**king grand ).

Pretty Boozehawkish in his comments on the video as well. Live and don't learn, that's his motto.

Should have used the defence 'I delivered quicker than a BCF'er'.

[Diggs]

He was doing ok until he went too fast round that last bend and bottled it. That R1/6 was holding him up big style. The inexperience of youth...

Odd that his 1st reaction on landing was to pick up the cam and keep on filming. I'd have thought he'd swear a lot!

Visibility was great at all times when he was over the white lines. I dont quite understand the seemingly random placement of them. I would have no problem passing where he did (noting first pass is just after a blind crest) White lines mean fuck all.

[Conzar]

But to average motorists they see WOAHHHH!!!! crazy insane biker crossing double white lines! DOUBLE WHITE LINES!!!! speed kills!!!!

[Rogerborg]

Yup, the pass looked fine. I imagine there's some beancounterish calculation about the distance it takes for a 60mph car to overtake a 40mph HGV... because of course nobody would exceed the speed limit to overtake.

That, or it's deliberate killjoying in order to push the traffic elsewhere, so that it becomes some other county's problem.

[Snorty]

Why would you keep the footage?!

First thing I'd do is snap the SD card in that situation, then think about lessons that need to be learned.
