A Sobering Website

[Bubbs]

Trying to find info about good cornering technique and somone on a forum posted this website:

Warning: Graphic Bike Accidents (unless your Ste)
https://home1.gte.net/res0ak9f/bike.htm

I didn't know whether to add it, but I opened it up while eating a corned beef roll and now I feel a little ill. Thought I'd share.. the videos aren't that bad, but the pics as you scroll down get progressively worse.

seen it before, but with a different domain name (seems that they are selling them)

the point is in most cases, the riders where :

unskilled
idiots
wearing no gear

People over in the US just cant seem to corner, and you can watch them with absolutely no gear what so ever.

He was on here I think, posting and being a big headed c*nt saying his website is amazing, and that the more you argue with him the more it push's his site hits up. He was a proper cock.

I wish I hadn't gone to the bottom. The fence post one is just vile.

I feel physically sick now and scared shitless of coming off.

In Spain we have an easy closed circuit test which involves an emergency stop, zig zags, a thin slow section between two bars and some turns. Pretty easy.
After you pass that test you have to do an open circuit one in which you are followed by a car with the examiner in it, and you have a mobile phone with an earpiece and they tell you where they want you to go for about 20 minutes. If you ride perfectly legal for that time, you pass
What's the UK procedure?

Full of Squids, dont feel sorry for the majority of bikers on that website at all, if they did a proper test and actually wore the proper gear they would be fine. Idiots!

To be fair if the motorbike test in america was too hard, bike sales would be affected.

I looked through that website just after my CBT and nearly gave up on the spot.

Then I thought about it and decided I need a site that does the same with car crashes.... and there'd be a lot more of them too.

What it did tell me is there's a point in severity of accident where it doesn't matter if you are wearing all the gear. But looks like it'd probably be quick....

OT a bit, but that is one of the worst written sites I have ever seen, my eyes hurt

I certainly still won't wear All The Gear, All The Time.

Nasty collection of images sure, but if there were no risks what'd be the point?
