Interesting that they take a racing driver to show up a fool.

Isn't that the A702?
Only a cock would be going on it anyway, it's a shit road with too many slow drivers. Unless they're top-speed testing on the Dolphinton Straight...
If people are crashing-out on corners like they showed there, fuck them, shouldn't have been on the road anyway. Sefl-limiting problem in my book. ____________________ “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.”

Only watched the first vid, it's a bit scripted and sensationalist but makes a good point,
Going fast isn't purely about how long you can keep the throttle open for but how you set the car up, keeping it smooth.
why aren't people taught proper car control when learning to drive? ____________________ Looking to pass your CBT / Bike tests in Bury Lancashire? try www.focusridertraining.co.uk Would recommend.

Gotta disagree Paddy, if you bin it through a hedge because of testiculus excessivus, someone has to scrape you up and that costs. |
Oh I know, I fully get that. Same as we all have to pay to keep druggies nice and safe and rapists to have their Xbox and Sky TV whilst serving shortened sentences while Mr 120mph overtake hurting no one get fucked for 18 months.
Without sounding harsh, I couldn't care who comes to scrape me up, its their job and they know full well what they are employed to do. I know when I wake up i'm going to have to deal with people being shitty and shouting at me down a phone. If I don't like it, I know where the door is
I know its pretty blunt but I bought my bike for fun, not for keeping within the limits. I have a car for that. If there is no fun and I don't take risks, I can't see the point of owning a bike, hell, being alive without risks and fun is no life at all.
I therefore think if everyone has an issue with speeding, buy a 125 rather than the 150mph+ machines you currently own, let me know how much you enjoy it  |

Agreed, go as fast as you want, sentences for speeding are ghey, I just think if you're being a twat and driving 100mph on wet country roads and you then kill/hit someone on a bike/car then you should be done for manslaughter or assault end of. ____________________ Malaguti F12 Phantom-Dead, Suzuki AY50- Dead, NRG power DD LQ, CBR125.

I don't believe you can get insurance for that.
It's not the mess you create that I have issue with but the fact that reckless behaviour puts MY safety at risk when I'm in 'Sensible' mode.
We can all be reckless but we have absolutely no moral right to put others at risk.
That is called 'being a cunt about things'.
The message is 'Keep The Heid'. Even on a race track, where we are allowed to go as fast as possible, an idiot will be banned/punished for reckless behaviour.
So bringing the same mong-tard/selfish attitude to driving/riding on our public roads is not acceptable.
 |
Can I just ask?
You have an S1000RR don't you? Why did you spend all that money on such a powerful machine if you only believe that fast riding should be kept to trackdays?

Who says I only do a couple? Or need the full potential of a track based bike to enjoy the effects?

I'm with Paddy.
Main reason I like bikes is that you get fast car performance for little money. If I go on a quiet NSL and come off and end up in a coffin then that's my doing.
As others have mentioned, the people who have to clean up the mess chose the job knowing that. If anything I'll be creating jobs
