Sorry, I'm sure all the non-bikers that regularly view this forum will no doubt be disgusted and totally shocked as compared to what they've read here before Confused

It has to be said some born again middle aged bikers have under-estimated their new bike... (please wait before flaming...)

It also goes that some new 16 year old bikers have under-estimated their new bike...

So far as it goes, I don't think any biker could honestly say they have never twisted and thought... Whoooohhhh... and had to back off.

The more we section out small groups, the easier it is to loose sight of the real picture. No matter what a person does, they could have an accident or die... Its a bad fact. Bikers are just the current scapegoat for our bad road stats to europe. The sooner the government and councils realise that a lot could be done to improve roads, and training of motorists the better those stats will be. Blaming small groups of road users is not the way to help.

I can honestly say that there are cars doing more than a ton on that ring road - I should know, I have to do more than a ton to overtake them! Twisted Evil

When I used to work for AVIS delivering hire cars people would be regularly caning the Alfa 156's up to 130ish on the ring road.

I'm Scottish, I blame Euan McGregor. I got a bike because I was going through my quarter-life crisis. Please can I do a ton on the ring road? Pretty please? ( damn that restrictor )

someone accused me of having a mid life crisis when I bought the Bandit 2 years ago...yeah right I'd been riding for 15 years, hows that a mid life crisis, strikes me as business as usual...hahaha...

as stated above this guy is a tosser, taken a few choice attention grabbing quotes for the uneducated masses and run with it... Mad

Ban wild animals from the roads that don't pay road tax, that's what I say... Wink
