SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum



Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default ok, who was it...

Quote:
Road safety campaigners have condemned a motorcyclist who videoed himself travelling at 147mph and then posted the film on a popular website.

The video shows the biker speeding on the A27 between Shoreham, West Sussex, and Lewes, East Sussex, to the sound of an explicit rock song.

of course it wasn't as bad as they say

let's translate:

"The bike weaves between vehicle" = overtaking
"almost crashes into a car" = passed a car
"basically amounts to the person trying to commit suicide" = we've run out of kitten murdering metaphors

but the quote i love is the picture caption:

"The bike's speedometer was shown rising on YouTube"

erm... they do that...

oh, and mototech; meow bitch

... just down the road from me!
Local paper was a giggle:

"The unfortunate thing is that someone else who looks at the video might want to do the same or even try to go faster."

Guess where the vid can be viewed...
http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/video....26175.0.0.php

Can't check it out at the moment as the internet police forbid it at work
