No I mean proper North way passed Scotch Corner.
You've just reinforced my point Ben. Why the hell should ordinary, considerate, law-abiding people have to suffer because some 53-year old decides he wants to be Valentino Rossi??
I did a quick google to check the details as B
ber Bridge isn't a million miles from me.Nothing in the press about the cause of the incident either way, other than a car and bike being mentioned and an appeal for witnesses.
Careful how you jump to conclusions....
I'll admit to doing some stoooopid speeds on motorbikes, but my golden rule has always been to do it for myself, where no-one is around, so if you do sling it down the road you're not going to hurt anyone else.
My view exactly. I don't ride with others as the temptation to ride like more of a nutter than I do is too great. That overtake that is safe for the first 2 or 3 bikes, becomes less so for the 4th and 5th bikes and touch and go for the others. Most won't hold back and look soft in front of the group.
I don't ride to many bike gatherings for the same reason. If I do, I ride at my own speed. At my age IDGAF what others think of my riding or how slow they think I am.
I choose the time and place to let rip.
As I have said before, I work in Cumbria for the emergency services. I attend at least 1 RTC each week involving a motorcyclist. More often than not no other vehicles are involved, just a case of high speed and country roads.
I have found however that motorcycle leathers do hold body parts quite well.
The worst I ever attended was a rider hitting a que of stationary traffic at road works. The rider went through 3 cars. Literally. His family were traveling in a car following. It was not a pleasant experience.
Whatever you ride/drive always do it safely. Please.
I can take my mountain bike to a relatively safe environment and drive back home with nice heated seats feeling great that I have spent a few hours in the great outdoors without the risk of losing my licence. And my family can be with me.
Nice.
any words for the nobhead on the A31 near Farnham just now. It's a 60mph dual carriageway all the way from Guildford until just after the hotel becomes more open and a NSL / 70mph section. There are frequently speed camera vans, so I'm trundling along at a nice safe 60 on the cruise control overtaking lorries, when I'm aware of an organ donor wannabe coming up behind me with lights full on - based on closing speed I'd guess in excess of 100mph. Then he's a couple of feet off my bumper until I move over for him at which point he indicates an opinion that I'm 'a bit too fond of my own company' and then wheelies off to well in excess of the now 70mph that I'm doing.
Where do these people come from?
