From what I'm told he knows the road. He's blaming the accident on gravel. Well if he knows the road what's he doing at that speed and where's his road positioning for it?

And if you find and R1 to test ride you will probably be the first in the country...even more so now they are all off the road.

... in particular, St Marks, but we as bikers are not generally top of the pile for sticking to speed limits. Its very easy to be critical of other road users, and I have to say bikers are probably some of the worst in this respect probably due to our vulnerability, but we are far from whiter than ...

Looks like Darwins theory in action. IMO the muppet doesn't deserve to be on the road riding like that.; If there had been a kid or pet walking along the verge or coming out of the house on the left he could have killed them before he'd even registered that they ...

That's a public road, not a bloody racetrack. Let's hope his time in hospital will help him reflect on how much worse it could have been.

Does the bend really tighten up I can't see on my tiny phone screen if it is tight or not and didn't notice any chevrons or other warning signs or road markings. Clearly he was going to fast and not reading the road or riding to the conditions but maybe he just bottled it as he was taken by surprise.

Rewatched and to be honest he was clearly going far too fast for the road conditions and place (looks like houses around the area) bend was far too sharp junction on that bend, hmmm wouldn't be posting that yo on FB in my honest opinion

No sympathy here.

Too fast on an unknown road by the looks of it, fingers crossed the rider is still with us.

Hope so too, unbelievable what some people think is a laugh, if they carry on doing it I hope they get caught in the act by some big boxer type bloke and he can show them exactly how much a laugh it is to hurt people

Rossgo bikes with modern electronics and big power can be used on the road and track admittedly not like Rossi but you can rag the arse of them

I think your probably right Rossgo and I definitely hope your right before someone gets hurt.

We tall about the power etc but if it's for road we will.never use all of it anyway, prob wouldn't even on track unless your a Rossi. I'd love to try it but sounds a bit loud, can they put the baffle back in please [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]

I can't see them finding these people. the police are terrible and need the evidence right in front of them with a few sparklers sticking out the top of it and an arrow pointing down saying this is the evidence for this crime! I have very little confidence in the old bill. These guys may of seen thi...

... If someone gave me a choice of any Ducati sports bike I think I would want one of these which is a 916SPS. These are supposed to be the closest road version to any race bike they made.

Sounds possible but as you say completely unacceptable.

... this only happened during the hours of darkness so drivers wouldn't see what was about to happen unless by chance - you tend to look only at the road at night - not also at the bridges as you would in daylight. This latest attack is odd though, that area is rural and mostly a "dormitory" ...
