Perhap we should all fit "Scoobs" Tazer to the nose of the bike, that would stop the b*ggers running off.

I had a group of ladies (intoxicated) run out from behind a van parked on the left of the road while I was in the left lane. I hit the brakes and went into the middle of the group all of who scattered except for one. I hit her at 5 to 10 mph and she went to the ground. She got up and walked away without a word. No damage to my bike either. How stupid can one be. Didnt mommy and daddy teach them to look both ways before crosssing the street???

Simon, sorry to hear of your mishap. As some have already said, shame you didn't hit him harder so he couldn't get up and run away. Look forward to doing the done thing when we get to Soho and admire the damage. Only joking m8, but we do all do it don't we.

Simon, glad to hear you came out of it OK. My first off was a pedestrian, she was jogging through Earls Court and just turned and run out in front of me... I hit her at about 20mph but was sliding down the road with the bike on top of me at the time.

"I saw a guy cross up the road so I thought it was clear" WTF

Pedestrians should be shot at birth.....

I've always thought that if you've got time to beep you've got time to brake

...sorry.

Ban hooded tops i say. Tunnel vision and no sense of hearing (apart from the choons) no wonder he didnt flinch before you hit him. the idiot!

And bring back the green cross code... but update it to todays virtual grilock rush-hours or 2mph crawls for miles on end so pedestrians are taught to look for motorbikes

And can you imagine how **** scared he is now? He brought down some big burly biker and every time he sees or hears another bike in the next few days he'll worry it could be you out looking for him.
Hopefully

Glad youre Ok Mr toad.
