A Little Video

[tactcom7]

Complete lack of view/riding skill, I apologise.

Interesting points at 1.50, 5.45, 6.50, 8.50 and finally, and probably the scariest 10.50

In a hurry are we sir! 10:50 lucky there mate.

[Berlin]

Wasnt there a little warning that went out about showing yourself speeding and the police actvely prosecuting those who put it on Youtube? :rolleyes:

[SoulKiss]

Its obviously a european import SV with the clocks in KPH.

You can tell by the exhaust tone.

:)

[Specialone]

Whose got a deathwish? that rider aint got much longevity riding like that.

Overtaking on DWL, im not a fan of that regardless of how frustrating they are, my opinion of course.

In regards to the vid itself, the camera angle is annoying, not being able to see the road ahead.

[DarrenSV650S]

:o 8.50 is seriously asking for it

[TamSV]

**** me that made my toes curl at a couple of points. I was braking with you at 10.50.

I'll not lecture you mate, ride your own ride and all that. But I'd take that vid down TBH. There's enough there to get a couple of books thrown at you.

Agree the angle is too much speedo/not enough road. Nice picture quality though. What cam setup are you using?

[beabert]

tit

You might wanna take that down, as said above.

[maxinc]

Not impressed.

[Wideboy]

Good vid! I like

[Mr Speirs]

I like all the bits where they were riding like a complete tool.

overtaking those bikes on the outside of a bend would've been more interesting if the rider had chosen to run wider out on the exit of the corner

when they were overtaking the line of vehicles and that car turning right nearly took them out

or shortly afterwards where they were doing 80 in a 40 and a car pulled out on them

and 10.50...i would say lucky but the preceeding 10 minutes of video actually makes it an enivitability.

[454697819]

Who ever that is.. dont come moaning to us when they get caught / squashed..

sheeesh why do some people feel that need.

[Bibio]

i'll be the first to admit that i like a spirited ride but there is a time and a place. all i can say to the OP is, i hope that you are carrying a donor card.

personally i think he should leave the vid up as i can now point noobs to show them how not to ride a motorcycle.

[dizzyblonde]

Speed awareness and a bike safe course you need to go to matey.

A bit too c0ck sure knobfacedknobster will end up down the road at some point

hopefully not in a cardboard box:smt051

[Specialone]

Has anyone noticed the date on the vid?

[Radlad]

Apart from the brain!! Not much use to anyone that particular organ if it means you ride like that.

[dizzyblonde]

Has anyone noticed the date on the vid?
yep, but that means nowt at all though. How many times have I forgot to reset dates on cameras...loads!
Tried looking at the types of cars to see if it corresponded, but couldn't tell

[Bluepete]

It's not the worst I've seen, but then again...

I strongly suggest you remove the video, if not from Youtube, then at least from the .org. It's not really what this forum is about.

You're not long for this life matey.

Pete

[AndyBrad]

Ooof 8:52

lucky lucky boy!

[darylB]

If as the video date shows 2005 i'm wondering how it is you're still alive to post, if it is more recent i hope you have the sense to calm down and take an advanced riding course so you can enjoy a long and happy life. As already said before if the police see this and track you down they can use it to prosecute you, might be an idea to take it down sooner rather than later.

Daryl.

[yorkie_chris]

Well everyone rides like a c*** on occasion. I wouldn't post it up on here though. New rider exuberance and "oooh power" syndrome perhaps. Regarding the "how are you still alive", hopefully from doing that sort of antics a few times and then learning how to pick the time and place a bit better!

Can you still be prosecuted 5-6 years after the fact?

Pick some better roads to go fast on, like B roads with no bugger on them.



Legalities aside, because I don't really give 2 short sh*ts about anyone else's licence, that's asking for trouble riding and worth seeing to show what not to do. That and seggons repeatedly riding into a tree video would probably give a good lesson on how not to do it from both ends of the skill vs enthusiasm ratio
:-P

[yorkie_chris]

I don't think the OP needs the latter to tell him some of those moves were a bad idea. If anyone is that numb they shouldn't be allowed a motorcycle, or scissors that aren't made of plastic with rounded ends!

[Seggons]

That and seggons repeatedly riding into a tree video...

It wasn't a tree, it was a nice, cuddly, fluffy bush that welcomed me in. :lol:

I cannot believe 'the rider' did the overtake on that right hand turning car. I found that more shocking than almost riding into the back of that pickup. I got the impression planning was done no more than 1 or 2 foot from the front wheel.

[yorkie_chris]

(hopes this post comes across as it is meant, a simply disassembly of riding and not like some hectoring "I never break the speed limit or frighten your gran" freak)
Oncoming traffic meant the car wasn't going to finish going across the junction. If he decided to nose out a bit then he'd be almost certainly dead. Not total suicide but still a fairly bad idea.

Worst one was going around the bend with absolutely no chance of stopping in visible distance only to find a car turning into a junction ahead. If anyone needs a lesson in why they shouldn't exceed stopping distance vs speed even on a road where they know where the bends go... that is it.

[Specialone]

It's obviously not the op's own video, he's posted it to get a reaction, I doubt he even knows the rider.

Wouldn't be surprised if the rider doesn't ride anymore for one reason or another.

[mister c]

Wow, how good are they? What a cracking video....... NOT!
No wonder people in cars hate motorcyclists when you see knobheads like that on the road.

Not Impressed, as said before, it should be removed

[dizzyblonde]

Well, I can say it was uploaded by Tactcom on Yourtube as I took note of the username when I first viewed.

Thankfully he has now remove it from youtube, point taken from us I think.

[tactcom7]

Well it was my video, and my bike and it was 6 years ago, and it was more an example of how not to ride and how I don't ride anymore. Yes there are numerous stupid moments and I have probably used up a few of my nine lives. But everytime I watch it I learn something new.

Edit: people will also note its tagline is 'how not to do it'

[Specialone]

Well fair play to you for posting it up knowing you'd get a negative reaction, not something I'd have done.

I suppose if you've learnt from it and you're still alive, then it's a positive outcome.

[tactcom7]

Well at the time, been riding for less than a year i thought i was pretty cool, but looking back, stupid isn't the word! everyone makes mistakes and as YC said, rides inappropriately at times.

Wasn't quite expecting so much of a slagging off but hey ho.

I didn't see it as a slagging off tbh, most people were horrified and concerned you were gonna end up dead.

Like I said, respect for posting it, I didn't think it was your video tbh as it was so cringing and scary. I probably couldn't ride like that if I wanted to :(

Yeah I guess you're right mate. Learnt a lot since then, took IAM lessons etc (although I know not everyone agrees with them). I think the main reason behind the riding was the other guy in the vid was a friend of mine so there's the old competition thing going on.

Got a lot more to live for these days, girlfriend, house etc lol :)

[Berlin]

So now you've also admitted to racing on a public highway. :rolleyes: Add another 8 points or so, Combined with dangerous/wreckless driving, driving without due care and attension and evidence of speeds that will see you go to prizon for a couple of months, you're a very brave man to leave it in public view.

[-Ralph-]

Vid removed, good move!

Any West Yorkshire coppers on here?

Knock, knock! ;-)

[-Ralph-]

On second thoughts, can the police prosecute for a traffic offence that occurred in 2005? Thought they had 6 months to bring you to court?

[yorkie_chris]

So rather than calls of "what a kn*b" "it should be removed", hows about picking some facts about specific mistakes which might actually, you know, be constructive in helping people to avoid putting themselves in the same situation.

Are some people a bit green they haven't got the onions to open the throttle themselves :smt082

I thought so too, or is dangerous driving criminal and got longer time span? I don't know for certain the differences between motoring and criminal allegations.

Like you said before we all have fun, but to film it, then put it on a public forum say look at "such & such a time", that doesn't make any sense at all. We all know what not to do, so why do we need to see it on here?
Overtaking cars at stupid speeds that are turning right, nearly running into the back of vehicles because they are being an idiot, it doesn't take Einstein to work out that it is dangerous riding.

[AndyBrad]

although just thinking i didnt have a problem with the wobbles, i get those on every ride? doesnt everyone else?

[yorkie_chris]

Well the vid says some of us don't, especially when first starting out and first gaining the skills to go fast without the sense to know where to. And for a newbie who's heard plenty tales of "fackinell, nearly got splattered there, worra laff!" maybe it will save them a lot of pain and a ban.

You don't like seeing it, noone forced you to watch it.:smt102

[mister c]

This is true, but I didn't understand what "Complete lack of view/riding skill, I apologise." So intrigue took hold & I watched it.

Anyhow, it's done, it's shown, so end of story for me. We all have our opinions

[AndyBrad]

aye. all interesting stuff.

[tactcom7]

The first wobble at 1.50 on the right hander was because my toe scraped on the floor and I wasn't expecting it.

Lesson learned about correct foot positioning on pegs :)

[Reeder]

I'm totally confused when you say you didn't expect such a negative reaction?
Ride however you want on your own, but round traffic show some respect.

[beabert]

That is why have a negative reaction to it.

He had to watch it to see what it was about before voicing his opinion. Had it been titled "Dangerous riding" then I'd agree, there would have been no need to have watched it.

[The Idle Biker]

Blimey what a load of blah blah. Guy rides badly, reckless, takes chances, shows off, gets lucky, learns from it, changes and is man enough to own up to it. Who hasn't been there?

[AndyBrad]

does anyone have a copy of this vid? i would like to show it to somone re the junction overtake. or similar.

[Nobbylad]

I never saw it and feel like I've missed out somehow...

[Electro]

Just seen the vid. I`ve done worse in a car. Tactcom has admitted as a young rider he thought it was cool but has learnt more and gained experience. Anyone looking for info on how to ride quickly would learn alot from the vid on how it isnt done. I`m sure most of us have had one moment of madness and got away with it, just tactcom video`d 10+ mins of it.
