Agreed.

Lucky so and so though, that could have been nasty - GSXR sandwich.

8.7

Technically proficient, but I would like to see a little more flair on the dismount.

The way he was walking toward the kerb i think he was more likely to throw up than throw a punch.

Have to wonder what the woman in front initially thought when he went into the back of her though.

"Denise Milani Makes a Chicken Salad" is a far more entertaining video.

Nice landing from the guy though.

He would have been safe if he'd been filtering!

True, although he probably thought he would/should have been safe coming to a steady stop in-lane anyway.

I don't think the insurer will need much convincing who's at fault.

He was so lucky. When I was taken out from behind it was at a red light on an NSL road. I woke up about 20 yards from the line I was stopped at wondering what I had done, a police car seperating me from the traffic with a pensioners saying "Sorry". 10 years later I still hurt every day from that.

WHAT!?! you mean saying sorry didnt magically heal all your injuries...

Just another example of when sorry just isnt good enough, BE BETTER AT WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND THEN NEVER HAVE THE NEED TO APOLOGISE!

Well according to the 3rd parties doctor I would be recovered within 6 months. The orthopaedic surgeon who subsequently saw me, questioned the qualification of the first doctor and confirmed he was not an orthopaedic consultant and was talking male bovine excreta said sorry mate, you will only have 70% of your shoulder movement for the rest of your life, it will hurt for the rest of your life, but not as much as it would if I fitted you with a new plastic replacement. Live with it and take the pain killers that is why they are called that.
