    All of which assert that speed, in and of itself, can't kill you.
    And then I made a joke about speed kills. Just ask River Pheonix. An actor who died at the hands of a speed cocaine mix. Outside a nightclub owned by Johnny Depp.

    A mixture of my own immaturity and a desire to show how much distain I have for the concept that speed kills.


    It is called sarcasm. Is often known as the lowest form of wit but handily is also the gap between those who get it and those who don't.

    My apologies. I missed this completely. I thought he died in a plane crash. I must be thinking of someone else.

    Sarcasm is often very hard to pick up in writing. Especially when I have my facts wrong.

    That's Kiwibiker I am afraid. Some are bullies, some are trolls, some bring opinions from another planet, but most are pretty good sorts.

    Either ignore or blacklist the idiots. The good folk will be along soon enough.

    And the speed of the other vehicle, the length of the straight, the presence of a passing lane etc, etc. It can definitely be done safely at legal speeds.

    Which is not to say that overtaking at above the legal limit is not the safer option much of the time.

    boo fuckin hoo. You thought riders respect each other? What makes riders so special? Speed limit is for poor people? Get you paralysed if you're lucky? What part of that shit should a "rider" respect?
