I've added that to my YouTube favourites.

Looking at the cruiser where the handlebars are above shoulder height, it reminded me off an incident on the M62. A group of Harley tossers from abroad were riding in a massive group. The lead bike was one with the oversized handlebars and the gimp pillion tried to grab as me as I overtook. Absolute tosser. He was wearing a balaclava instead of a helmet as well.  :censored: cock.

Plenty of idiots on other bikes out there as well.
I used to see several every day.
I'm sure that our Constabulary members see plenty of these, or at least the aftermath of many of them.

One of those clips is from a longer video I've watched (bear in mind I didn't watch with sound this time). It's the one where it's shot from a car and a Harley plunges down the inside of a corner into some bush (and disappears). It's a sad clip because the folk in the car fail to stop and I think they actually talk about driving off - scared of the bikers!

Not limited to Harleys, plenty of UTube stuff showing sports bike 'superstars' over-cooking wheelies, etc - Often a lot more painful (and embarrasing) due to the speeds involved, none of the Harley stuff is particularly high speed (especially the ape hanger dick heads)

Well, if you turn the sound on you will hear that the guy tells the woman to stop and the woman asks 'why do they do that?'
Then you can see that they are actually starting to pull over.
What a bunch of tossers, though.
Most of us here probably wouldn't have a problem with a corner like that on a GTR even at that speed - but on a Harley? :scooter:
Everybody knows that they don't go around corners like a real bike.
That's why I wouldn't want to ride a pig like that in the first place.   :no:
Even though I have to admit that a guy on a chopped Harley actually passed me while descending from the Furka pass in Switzerland.  :biker3:
OK - I was riding a 1250 Bandit, there were lots of cars around and he took some risks, but I just couldn't catch him.

"They are going to beat our arses?"

Seriously...

OK, so there were lots of other guys there to help out, but honestly.

Exactly - If you come to the site of an accident you're only obliged to stop and help if there is nobody else. In this case there were plenty of helpers on the scene so I would have driven off as well.  :ohplease:

Of course it would have all been avoided if they had bikes that could actually go round corners.
