If you're having to dodge pedestrians then your bike ain't loud enough!

On occasion I'll give mine a proper thrashing off the lights in town and stuff just to see the lemmings dive for cover

Oh hell yeh, thats always a bit of fun in London too. Its just that so many peds here are either on their phone and oblivious to the world around them or they have their ipods/mp3s in their ears and just look at the floor in front of them as they walk.

Yup we do, last week where I was training is also the same place as the driving school, any way while taking the exam I spent probally more time watchin the bike cops training than answering the questions! Had a good view from where I was! Only 2-3 years to go I hope before I can get my bike and car response licences.

Strange- my dad sent me a few clips of Japanese cops throwing VFR750s around and now there's some more cops on here too!
Bloody mental. How much time do they spend being able to do that..

I can't remember what it's called, apparently it's quite popular in japan, sort of the equivalent of our trackdays... The car guys do drifting, the bike guys do demented crash-bar scraping loop-the-loops. I reckon I could get round that course, in no more than 9 or 10 times as long as it takes them
