 Posted: 16:41 - 15 Apr 2008 Post subject: Biker's 147mph video is condemned |
 |
|
| BBC News wrote: | Road safety campaigners have condemned a motorcyclist who videoed himself travelling at 147mph and then posted the film on a popular website.
The video shows the biker speeding on the A27 between Shoreham, West Sussex, and Lewes, East Sussex, to the sound of an explicit rock song.
The bike weaves between vehicles and almost crashes into a car, with the speedometer visible throughout.
Sussex Police said that they were actively pursuing the matter.
Brigitte Chaudhry, founder of road safety charity Roadpeace, described the biker's behaviour as "idiotic".
It is a ludicrous piece of riding on a busy main road
Sgt Paul Masterson
"This video is not only irresponsible to other road users, but also highly stupid, and basically amounts to the person trying to commit suicide," she said.
The video, which was hosted on Youtube, has been taken down by the site's owners.
Sgt Paul Masterson, of Sussex Police's road policing unit, said they were treating the incident very seriously.
"We are hoping to identify this rider because it is a ludicrous piece of riding on a busy main road." |

I say we found a new website for stunt/ video speeding goonanigans and shoonags, and we should have a policy not to co-operate with the police/ goverment. Fuckers!  |

Well I for one have never felt the need to video myself doing 147mph and post it on the internet.
In future I'm sure the person concerned will realise how grossly irreponsable their actions were and just leave their video recorder at home. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Personally I couldn't give a flying f*** about the guy/gal doing 147mph...but I do care about the poor innocent that inevitably ends up on the receiving end of his/her f****** stupidity.
BTW, Marines are pawns in the political games which the Government plays from time to time...surely that means you are co-operating with them anyway if you are thinking about joining them. Just a thought. |
Yes SilverFox that is indeed very true, and I have thought allot about it, It is by far my biggest hypocrism, but its what I have set my heart on doing.
On the other hand I know for a fact that if the uk ever errupted into civil war and the goverment tried to use the military against its own people, I would be the first to make a stand and fight back in mutiny, and with all my training I would be a valuable asset.
On the speeding recklessly point, call me a wanker or whatever, but its my bike, I pay roadtax so I'm totally fine with people endagering their lives at excessive speed. Though I do slow down around built up residential areas but thats pretty much it.
If you don't like it, T-Bone me to get it over with quickly  |

There was a thing on the news recently, some woman was prone to being panicky, and ended up on a motorway.
She was caught by police doing 10mph.
That's 60mph less than what everyone else is doing.
She got a 7day ban!?!
If I was to do 130 mph (the equivalent of me doing 70mph and coming up to someone doing 10mph (if you understand me ? )) I'd probably have a 300 year ban, and be sodomised by Jesus himself. ____________________ Currently Riding - 2002 Aprilia RSV1000 Mille |

The stretch from the last set of traffic lights in Lancing to the start of Worthing. I understand you can get up to 154mph and beyond on that stretch. Especially in the sort of good weather we've had this week. Not that I'd condone that of course.  |

Yeah, sorry lads, my bad.
I was testing out my NRG50 after I'd fitted it with a polini variator and the new SuperTurboExtremePower powerband.
What the BBC failed to mention was that on the video you can clearly see a police car doing 4,000mph cut me up on the wrong side of the road and nearly plough head-on into a bus full of children and kittens on a day trip to brighton.
