no, its a typed confession.
Quick bang him up.
Hooligans like him we dont need on the road.

The drunk in the car in front of me who was attempting to ram a 7.5 ton truck off the road in colindale today tho......we need lots more like him about.
Using the passenger side to side swipe the truck.....nice touch seeing as his daughter (about 14 or 15, in school uniform) was in the passenger seat.

We all pulled up...daughter storms off, drunk gets out to have a go at the truck driver. When i challenge him about being pi$$ed and ask the other guy to call the cops he runs back to his car and drives off.

BLOODY GOOD THING WE HAVE SPEED CAMERAS TO KEEP PEOPLE LIKE BIKEAGE OFF THE ROADS INNIT

apparently he's been on the fone to the truck company and said he's reported us all to the cops. Including me for trying to stop him from driving off. Some people eh?

You try covering 30000+ miles a year in a cage alone without tipping over the limit.

It's just not possible and i will even confess to eating and having a fag at the wheel. Probably get stalked by the police now waiting for me to chomp on an apple.

Does anyone else think that sticking to the speed limits can be dangerous for yourself on quite a few roads involving 30 mph speed limits?

I actually think that after making the CBt harder and the age the same as cars they should scrap 50 cc's.

When i turned 16 i went and got a Yam DT50 and nearly got knocked offof it daily by people constantly overtaking me coz they were fed up with sitting behind something doing 35mph on the road. Didn't matter i was positioned in the middle of the road they would just come closer, and i'm talking about on normal 30mph roads. Also you've got no power to get out of trouble should you need it.

every day, day in day out... everyone does well 95% of people, the ones who stick rigidly to speed limits are far more dangerous IMHO

I speed all the time, sometimes by a little, sometimes by a lot. Thats if im in the car on the bike. Anyone that says they have never broken the speed limit is just plain lying!

You eat and smoke at the same time that’s minging!!! Gonnie no dae that!!!

My top speed today was about 178 mph..... Then again I was playing TT Superbikes, IOM is amazing on the Playstation...

I'm pretty rigid about the limits in 30’s 40’s and 50’s but that little white and black sign means PLAYTIME and I’ll ride at speeds I feel are safe and sensible...

I can also say I went past 3 police bikes today, well over the limit and they just gave me a nod... Thats the difference a camera would have flashed me...
