Re: Whining prat
I often wonder how the police would view these vlog videos when someone is yattering on about nothing instead of watching the road.

Re: Whining prat
I don't get why he rode into the side of an on-coming truck , you could clearly see it coming , there were no obstructions to his right and he had plenty of time to make a move , how do these people get a license ?

Re: Whining prat
Watch the vid in slo-mo. Despite any comments about target fixation, etc. (and I'm sure they contributed)....once the tyres hit the double-yellows it was all over. They're slippy as feck and will send the bike 2-3 feet sideways once you lose traction on them. Law enforcement are really particular on this insofar as it pertains to bikes. They don't mind the speeding too much, they know that's why we're out there....but cross those yellows and you WILL get cited, and the fine is a pretty big one.
I never whined at all. My issue was with another type of wine.

If your painted lines are as slippy as **** in dry warm weather there's a serious problem.D41 wrote: the double-yellows it was all over. They're slippy as feck .
