Re: Marquez's hand was 'run over' in crash

True story, I ran myself over with a off-road bike. Over the handle bars after over cooking a jump, and the bike carried on over me.

I'm still friends with myself :)

Re: Mobiles and drivers and being abused by a hot blonde

Almost dropped it (sweat) Turned into my road, did a u-turn at the end of the road and started to line the bike up to drive across the pavement on to the drive when a parked car without warning pulled out. I was turning right, grabbed the brake ...

Off roaders

I know some people don't like motorbikes going off road and using public areas, but this could have killed the rider:- http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news--general-news/police-appeal-after-motorcyclist-left-with-serious-injuries-by-rope-tied-across-path-at-neck-height/26615.html" ...

Re: Newtown to Crossgates (A483)

Newtown to Crossgates (A483)

... cars, don't know what happened exactly. It's early in the riding year and I know from past experience that after a couple of incidents on that road in the past the police raise their visible presence so if you plan to go there in the coming weeks just keep an eye out for plod [emoji49]

Re: Best TT Lap Ever

... which corner is next, where to tip in, where to accelerate and where to brake. I think its a very different skill to the way we ride on the road. I don't believe you could ride it that fast without knowing every section of that road very very well and what comes next. Amazing skill nonetheless. ...

Re: Best TT Lap Ever

Nice vid, ta.

The sense of speed is staggering. They're flat out, on a road, with the bike squirming and fighting.

Yet they want to go faster.

Re: Tyres, the great debate
