Well it was only a matter of time, he was an accident waiting to happen..

If you ride like a Tw*t you will certainly end up looking like one in my opinion.

I guess all you can say about that is that at least no innocent road user died, feel sorry for the car/van drivers involved though.

You won't live long if you choose to ride like that

Nasty.

[nightrider]

yes he put himself in that situation , but what exactly was the car driver doing that he went to overtake , looking at the footage the car would have forced the traffic coming the other way to have to move , wonder if he got done for dangerous driving , also his mate got 51 weeks suspended , drinkdrivers even on their 2-3 times caught don't get that , as the ray wilkings   case which as just come up shows , it seems that speeding is worse than drink driving . even tho nearly all the deaths around our way are drink realated, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Nasty stuff. At those sort of speeds and the way they were overtaking they were putting a lot of people in danger, not just theirselves. A lot of drivers just wouldn't of had time to see them. Imagine if they stuffed it into the back of a family car, they'd have probably wiped out the kids in the back. We all like to have a little play at times, but not like that. Sorry for all involved, but not a great deal of sympathy I'm afraid, it was inevitable.

Ps ... spot on Shaggs.

Have to agree, spot on shaggs and I've no sympathy for the riders I'm afraid.

It doesn't matter that the driver of the car is a moron too and that some drunk drivers get of lightly.
Other people have gone to jail for doing lesser speeds on motorways so some may say he got off lightly too.
So what do you think they should have done instead?
Sponsor him to compete in the next TT or give him free track day tickets?
I personally think his riding was reckless at times, especially going through intersections at over 90 mph and some of the overtaking is dodgy to say the least, but I have seen worse.

But I reckon the 51 months ban is what he deserves for giving that footage to the plod.

shocking guys!,an as i was watching i was cringing!,,,thing is, guys who ride like that give us genuine guys a hard time,how many times have you been out an a loony like this screams past you,n you think "idiot"?,,,
Then someone finds out your a biker an immediatly they relate you to that bike that hurtled past them in the car!!.
I agree with the previous comments,especially the innocent family in the car!!!,dont want to even think of tha,,,how the hell would you live with that i dont know

[Ros]

OOooof!!  That's nasty.

Totally outrageous behaviour.

Nasty stuff and yet take any Sunday during the summer months, take a drive/ride up towards The Lakes and you will see riders behaving in EXACTLY the same manner.


It's bloody frightening how little value some people put on their own lives and how little respect some people have for other road users.

I was shown a similar clip from when I did my bikesafe course with Dorset Police. The guy who recorded it was riding like a complete knob.. At the time I thought this guy is dicing with death. It was shocking to watch how he was inconsiderate to everyone on the road. Filtering at around 70 in heavy traffic and riding as fast as possible on winding roads..  2 weeks later [after the vid] he was killed riding in the same manner.. The video was given to the police by the family to educate bikers of how NOT to ride. Unfortunately there will always be those who think they are invincible and inconsiderate.

seen this clip before but can't remember where! I think we all like to open our bikes up now and again, but common sense tells us where and when sadly... that rider learned the hard way and paid with his life looking at that clip I would have not took that over take at that time the car that overtook was to close to the car in front of him, which is a strong indication the car driver was not paying attention at the time and most likely will brake or pull out/overtake with out checking his mirrors. the rider should have waited till the car driver back off or over took.. if neither of theses where to happen soon! I would have waited till the oncoming traffic was clear then went for a wide overtake I also think cameras on bikes brings the devil out in some riders it tells the biker in front that he will look a dam sight cooler when played back if he tries to go faster down that straight road or around that bend, same with the camera biker. I don't use bike cameras, I don't need to look any cooler I've got a certain pace I adhere to, it may be to slow or to fast for some bikers. but I don't give a dam I'm to old in the teeth to feel I need to prove anything to anyone, I understand there are bikers out there that use the bike camera for.. well" lets say for sensible use!! which is fine and will most likely live long enough to view the footage!

just my two penneth worth and must point out.. that bike cameras are brilliant when used by sensible riders for reminiscing on that bike trip
