Came across this whilst looking for something else.
The riding is utterly despicable and dangerous but I couldn't help but smile watching it.

Yeah, it looks lik they were having a laugh. No probs with that, but riding like that is asking for trouble.

Had to chuckle when one of them nearly fell off trying to do a wheelie!! But generally don't approve, that's one of the reasons bikers get a bad name and I've not got any time for the wasters.

funny to watch, clipped a few cars by the looks of it, made me chuckle and made me miss my piaggio zip 50cc

have a look at this moped on ebay, that would be interesting away from the lights in london

Seriously, those are the roads that i commute along from time to time and its just like that in the mornings. I also dont think they were going as fast as it looks at times, its the wide angle lens that makes it look faster than it is.

Pretty funny that, i've seen it before. The best bit is when the guy nearly highsides his 'ped! Got outta shape anyway!

Not very good for the image of biking...but then...its really the image of people who wiz about on scooters and 'peds...

...Because we refined motorcyclists who have received proper training are VERY respectful of the road and never break a law...

It had me chuckling. :D

Something to do with the schoolboy-like giggling you could hear in the background and especially the bits where they screech to a halt at traffic lights (the backender in particular). :lol: Yes it was dangerous, no it wasn't clever but sometimes you've just gotta do something stupid to get the most out of life... :lol:
