A Little Video

Wasn't quite expecting so much of a slagging off but hey ho.

I didn't see it as a slagging off tbh, most people were horrified and concerned you were gonna end up dead.

Like I said, respect for posting it, I didn't think it was your video tbh as it was so cringing and scary. I probably couldn't ride like that if I wanted to

Yeah I guess you're right mate. Learnt a lot since then, took IAM lessons etc (although I know not everyone agrees with them). I think the main reason behind the riding was the other guy in the vid was a friend of mine so there's the old competition thing going on.

Got a lot more to live for these days, girlfriend, house etc lol

So now you've also admitted to racing on a public highway. Add another 8 points or so, Combined with dangerous/wreckless driving, driving without due care and attension and evidence of speeds that will see you go to prizon for a couple of months, you're a very brave man to leave it in public view.

Vid removed, good move!

Any West Yorkshire coppers on here?

Knock, knock!

On second thoughts, can the police prosecute for a traffic offence that occurred in 2005? Thought they had 6 months to bring you to court?

So rather than calls of "what a kn*b" "it should be removed", hows about picking some facts about specific mistakes which might actually, you know, be constructive in helping people to avoid putting themselves in the same situation.

Are some people a bit green they haven't got the onions to open the throttle themselves

I thought so too, or is dangerous driving criminal and got longer time span? I don't know for certain the differences between motoring and criminal allegations.

Like you said before we all have fun, but to film it, then put it on a public forum say look at "such & such a time", that doesn't make any sense at all. We all know what not to do, so why do we need to see it on here?
Overtaking cars at stupid speeds that are turning right, nearly running into the back of vehicles because they are being an idiot, it doesn't take Einstein to work out that it is dangerous riding.

although just thinking i didnt have a problem with the wobbles, i get those on every ride? doesnt everyone else?

Well the vid says some of us don't, especially when first starting out and first gaining the skills to go fast without the sense to know where to. And for a newbie who's heard plenty tales of "fackinell, nearly got splattered there, worra laff!" maybe it will save them a lot of pain and a ban.

You don't like seeing it, noone forced you to watch it.

This is true, but I didn't understand what "Complete lack of view/riding skill, I apologise." So intrigue took hold & I watched it.

Anyhow, it's done, it's shown, so end of story for me. We all have our opinions
