The stuff in the car is far, far worse. Some really stupid overtakes that could have caused a really serious accident. At least with a bike there is gap between the two streams of traffic if you misjudge it. Still not clever though.

As for the bike, like Baph said, far worse been posted many times before. One dodgy overtake and one undertake (just showing off). Sad.

Also sad that poeple feel the need to video themselves doing this (again as Baph said).

Setting fire to speed cameras, is silly and childish. Blowing them up with dynamite, that would be worth seeing.

Couldn't agree more Jen...

Drive/Ride like a tw@ by all means, but when you have the potential to kill others while you are doing so, leave it out

Its not big, not clever and certainly gives other bikers a bad name

@ss'oles IMHO

I guess trackdays just ain't enough for some people. Then again, being new to the trackday thing, I wouldn't appreciate someone riding past me like that while I'm trying to improve my riding skills.

As Jenni says, the car was far worse. One overtake in particular, he stayed out far longer than was neccessary- almost looked like he was intentionally playing chicken with the oncoming car. Still, shame we won't get to see the proper DVD from the sound of it. I'd been looking forwards to that. Yes, very naughty and I think it's more dangerous riding than Ghostrider, but it's still entertaining viewing imo.

No, not really. Gotta agree with you, I don't see what all the fuss is about. There was one dodgy unnecessary undertake, and the stuff in the car was stupid, but other than that I'm neither impressed nor horrified. I think... Yes... Bored would be the word...

BTW: I heard a story the other day about a guy who parked up and set fire to a speed camera, but did it so his car was parked in view of the camera. He was surprised when he found out the whole thing had been caught on videotape...
