  1. No comment :shakes head:
     
  2. what is the trouble? apart from the guy ridding like an asshole and whilst he clearly has skills, will not be long for this world if he keeps it up..
     
  3. The power of positive thinking.
     
  4. Shit head going so fast in a built up area - needs punching in the face :punch:

  5. There are times and places.Built up areas arent either.............Perhaps when I was 17.
     
  6. Great video and great sound and Id have fun following this rider but would take a bit more caution around cross roads and junctions.The smaller capacity bikes do sound nice when they are given the beans and this video goes some way to proving you don't need the latest mega hp litre bikes for UK roads.

    Im definitely a 748sps fan now after watching that.Dont seem to fetch mega money either.

  7. Loved the sound of that bike, but riding like that in them conditions is asking for trouble, he might have confidence in his own ability but he is also relying on others to be predictable which they rarely are.

  8. that reminds me, the mongs will be back up here soon. there was an awful lot of junctions in that vid.
     
  9. It is only a question of when.
     
  10. He's using the revs and top end, nothing wrong with that...looks like an old Berks meet rideout, or maybe a Loomies to Goodwood 848 Challange Run eh @Dementor @dukeman358 I can remember seeing a shift light on in top ;)

  11. This dude is going to get himself banned without getting caught: Remember the Cat&Fiddle rider who did just that. Foolish bugger. :Shifty:
     
  12. incredible,, but he is not relying on others being predictable,, when riding / driving like that you have to dominate the situation, not allow for others actions.
    ha ha ,, some of the sanctimonius replys gotta make you laugh

  13. You can't dominate the position if someone turn across in front of you without indicating.
     
    • Agree Agree x 3
  14. I disagree birdie. You can dominate all over the place, in small bits, when that happens

  15. we have to accept that that is one of the on going dangers on the road all of the time , and of course he is taking many risks there but I think he dealt with other users admirably,, to me the blind spots / braking distance are his / hers biggest danger
     
  16. I'd say he is his bigger danger..
     
  17. haha.. dominate the situation while riding like an IOM racer past people's houses where a kid may run out to fetch a ball or something? ... idiot... sanctimonious replies? Idiot.. im all for a good blast but to do those speeds in an area with that many concealed exits, driveways and the potential of human traffic around alot of those corners you would have to be a complete cunt....

  18. an inccredible piece of riding none the less.
     
  19. of course , I think that we can all accept that,, in reference to my post I was referring / replying to the aspect of dealing with other users, nothing more.
     
  20. it was you quip about sanctimonious replies that irked me... but then maybe you have ridden with some of the posters and know something i dont... anyhu.. if you take out the fact the rider is a selfish cunt there were some skills for sure.. having said that i think if i used urban streets as my own personal race track on a daily basis my skill level would improve (or i would die) very quickly. dont get me wrong.. as i said im all for pressing on but not in built up areas
