Moderator Airhead Posted August 12, 2008 Moderator Share Posted August 12, 2008 So he wasnt a police biker who was testing the performance of his bike and "Honing his skills" then? Isnt it funny that stunts like this give us all a bad name, yet when it happens in a car, the same doesnt apply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is old news and it aint gonna happen. See Here As for the speeding bker - there will be more to it than that - he probably already has a load of points and he was being pursued by the police in that video - failing to stop is a serious offence on its own............. serves him right.....

bikerbasher Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Serves the bastard right - wouldn't have been too happy if he'd killed a child riding like a wanker. This is the type of rider that gets us a bad name and reputation............................................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendintheroad Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Serves the bastard right - wouldn't have been too happy if he'd killed a child riding like a wanker. This is the type of rider that gets us a bad name and reputation............................................ In the vidio he was doing over a ton through a village. Twat! He didn't "outride" the police, they backed off because he was riding like such a dick. Normally, I'm not too fond of what the traffic police get upto as far as bikers are concerned and when I first heard the sentence I thought it was a bit much, but he got what he deserved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone was up in arms because North Wales police chief Richard Brunstrom showed the photos of his headless body to a select few of reporters invited to a closed meeting, without asking the permission of his family. Many folk were up in arms about it - but the knob was riding with no licence, no insurance and false plates. He hit a car coming the other way that was carrying a young family - but not many spared a thought for them, and no one asked their permission for an uninsured, unlicensed fuckwit to smash into them. Brunstrom is a first class twat any day of the week, but this time i happen to think he was right........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas up - Let's Go! Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 Serves the bastard right - wouldn't have been too happy if he'd killed a child riding like a wanker. This is the type of rider that gets us a bad name and reputation............................................ I agree, and the guy was already disqualified, but in mitigation if you listen to the comentry by the traffic office, he does hint a couple of times that the riding itself isn't bad. And the speed shown on the screen, not the normal way, but what appears to be an overlay, at the same time if you look at the lean on the bike (doing somewhere around 100MPH) is about 80degrees from horizontal, or 10 degrees off vertical if you like - last time I was riding them speeds, my lean angle was much less I was watching the same piece of footage on the news, where the newsreader pointed out how he's crossed the white line, commiting an offence - he had, but it wasn't on his side of the road, he had a broken line..... I think this enforces the general view that Biker are fair game, even when those reporting it have no clear idea of the highway code.........
