So I understand.

It does look absolutely fantastic fun though.

13-02-10, 06:16 PM

Fun?
Poor old boy.

That looks about as much fun as chucking yourself off a sky scraper.

i think id rather trust 2 wheels

Fun yes - but I think you'd need to be unhinged.

Just like some people say about us and our bikes - which is essentially what I was getting at when I posted it.

Perspectives, perceptions - there's no absolutes, it just depends on your point of view.

About the same time i smashed my collarbone a girl in my street had her leg broken in 2 places by a boy running into her on a push bike? point taken, this was my ammo when everyone kept saying "those motorbikes are too dangerous"

There is a danger element to anything. You do what you can but sometimes something really rediculously improbable occurs and we get this sort of situation with this young fella passing on

Look at some of the motorsport incidents, craig jones for example. And F1 is really really safe nowadays but still look what happened to Massa last season, he was lucky to have not been killed
