Most bike accidents occur when the rider runs out of talent just as he runs out of road and a large percentage of Bike accidents involve "born again bikers" on super quick stuff.

I ride using the assumption that car drivers are out to kill me and ride accordingly, lots of space, lots of situational awareness, steady and smooth riding and above all ride to the conditions and speed limits.

The vast majority of accidents involving motor bikes are single vehicle accidents, ie, just involving the bike.

Regards

So, if you were just north of Oxford St last Friday at about 1800 and was one of the witnesses to our ding-dong I apologise for bellowing "you fucking stupid bellend" at the top of my voice.

Nice car he drove and not sure he was used to being addressed in that fashion :D

And it felt good to let go like that at the end of a pants week.

Tatty, if I'd known it was you I'd have offered you a lift. (Well, actually I wouldn't because I don't have common people in my car :P )

If I'd known it was you I'd have posted a copy of the photo that I took of you thrapping over the Michael Jackson Annual that you had open in your soft top whilst driving down the centre of the road!!

Where did you get those crap specs from? Oxfam?

Cycling in central London is insane. After the Tube bombings loads of office works decided that it would be a good idea to cycle. Cue Hundreds of retards on bikes not knowing the highway code, how to cycle properly, hand signals and they wonder why drivers get hacked off with them.
However on a plus side I've had many good bike races around the Finacial district on a Sunday. No cars about and very very 27 days later.

I'm getting my bike back next week (been with out it for nearly two years) so will be bombing around Edinburgh on it. Only down side is I'll not beable to drink after TA on a Wednesday night :(

Damn

Another thing that pisses me off is fuckwits stood in the cycle lanes, wondering why I am gobbing off at them

Yes I know car drivers do it too but almost every single biker is recklessly and deliberately ingonring a speed limit that is put there for a damn good reason

Fcuk the lot of them - its a 30 zone and a 4 year old kid was very nearly killed by one a couple of weeks ago.

I sincerely hope each and every one of them piles in and is leftdying slowly or at least paralysed - if you endanger my children I want you dead - simple.
The occasional responsible biker comes through at 30 and I have no problem at all with that - but I bet its less than 10% of the cvnts

I`ll pass on your sentiments next time I visit mates graves at the cemetery. Lets hope they dont pile in and lie dying and paralysed on your stretch of road then eh, speeding or not.

Oops, its the NAAFI, Ive bitten havent I?

"Sorry mate, I didnt see you". That because you were`nt f*cking looking you conehead ignoramus.

Read what I wrote - if people come through sensibly, great - if people come through too fast, whether car, bike or any other form of transport then yes - die slowly. If you endanger my kids I want you dead

As an ex-biker I now get pissed off with small-dicked cocks who've spent a fortune on race cans and belt up and down outside my house after 11 at night. They'll get a fucking big shock next time when I get my air-rifle out - leathers or not.

There was an old film in which WC Fields played a guy who strikes it rich so he goes and buys a tank and runs over illegally parked vehicles, people who cut him up etc. Me likey!
