I have done a search and can't find it posted anywhere on here, so here it is...I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. This guy won't learn his lesson one day...if he comes off, there will only be one ending!

I suppose this would be a bad time to admit that I have ridden like that on the M1 when I had my GSXR1000 and ZX9R. You just can't help it some days, you realise you have upwards of 140bhp to play with so the red mist comes down and all rational thought goes out the window.

I'm much safer on a 650 twin with massive boxes to make me almost as wide as a car.

I very nearly used the title..."is this how you commute Lozzo"? lol.

I guess the upside is that you probably wouldn't need to be too concerned with the pension scheme details at work. Chances are you wouldn't be needing one.

Will all due respect, anybody that rides this way on the road doesn't deserve a licence. What a complete tosser.

My thoughts exactly. Putting your own life and future health at risk is your business. Doing it on public roads where others can be killed, injured and traumatised by your actions is disgraceful. If this guy came off at these speeds on those roads, it would ruin the lives of many!

No amount of urgency, lateness or desire to "just go for it" can be worth the risk, so I do believe it's pure selfishness.

What a prize c0ck. One person changing lane unexpectedly and he's strawberry jam. On the plus side, he does seem to know EXACTLY how wide his bike is!

No need for an apology - you have to go easy the first time.

All pimlico vans have number plates to do with water... And now with their electrical side to the company, they have electrical theme plates. Must cost a fortune..

I will fit a camera to the bike or lid and do my usual commute into work and back home one day. I usually go one way and come back by another route just for a bit of variety

My buddy tried the crap one day when I was with him. It's his first year rding....he got a smack upside the head. It truly is people like this that give us a bad rap. That, and the idiots who don't wear any gear....
And it's always a guy on a GSXR600.....

But that's just a generalization.
