God I must be getting old, all I'm thinking is wtf was he doing 60mph around there for?
Glad your mates not hurt, better he learnt and walked away than the alternative. Hopefully it wont put him off bikes for good.

also made me chuckle, nothing to do with the excessive speed then huh? SuperCorsas or not, the laws of physics still apply.

A lad said he was bound to come off . So he got far too confident . Yes seems humid to the roads being moist . There the roads they normally go so they take them pritty fast .

Yeah I've just watched a few of his videos and Im gutted to see he's very local to me. The routes he rides criss cross my own so I've no doubt seen him a time or two.
The one who does the filming is a time bomb, if he is a representation of how your mates ride then it wont be long until someone has a serious off.

I've also now realized I know that corner, its on the A636 heading back towards the M1 from Wakey center.
Feel free to mock your mate dude, he who was riding the SV screwed up! Its nothing to do with his tyres that's for sure that corner *could* be taken at way over 60mph without incident he either panic'd or braked or panic braked lol. Either way he messed up, my guess he wasn't cranked over enough so braked and target fixated on the kerb resulting in the off. He's a lucky boy, there is a lot of street furniture around there to collide with.
confidence > ability = pain.


*could* = I don't condone it, I think riding round a blind corner 30ft from a set of traffic lights is suicide and damn right retarded. What I mean is that with the 2 lanes available and in a corner of that radii you can EASILY get an SV round there in 3 figure speeds.

I have told them many of times they ride stupid . Yep the vids the lad on the cbr125 is nuts. Very quick on corners but a matter if time . Yes its in the town centre near enough. A lad take the dual carriage way at cineworld/mc donalds retail at 90 but hes good but nothing last for ever
