The progrramme seemed to be morbidly fixated on the deaths of bikes making it's argument that it's mainly our fault for getting killed, well how f*****g patronising is that! Bet more motorist are killed in cars in wales. bet you if it was a documentry about the relationship between farmers and their sheep it'd go down pretty well, but no.

Yes, probably true, but there's more cars than bikes, it is true though that bikes are more vunerable.

That program was very biased, The comment about bike deaths not decreasing in 5 years but not mentioning whether bike numbers have gone up or not.

Still thinking about the consequences of being on a bike after that program, but it won't stop me biking. I am so selfish.

Yeah it's a personal choice and nothings going to change that.

It's a basic human right to be a tw## and kill yourself whether its via bike, car, cigs, booze, fish....

Oh yes, I remember, sports bikes are selling more or something like that, it wasn't mentioned in the same part though.

Not high powered for a motorcycle, but ignorant reporters probably mean very fast accelerating bike compared to a slow cage, but then most motorcycles are faster.

I can see why the program was done but it's not going to change a thing, except divide. Non-bikers will think we're illegal dangerous speeding k***s, and bikers will think it's bo***cks and other riders are at fault.
