Road racing

[Tank]

With all the treads about racing, running from the cops, etc etc etc I thought that this 9 sec video might instill some sensibility into some of those who think screaming thru traffic at 130+ is safe.

I wasn't here a year ago and was not aware of the Bruce and Darryl accident - although it has been pointed out to me (nicely) via PM.

I don't want to cause offence, that was far, far, far from my mind when posting this.

I simply thought with all the comments about speeding, "its OK to overtake on double yellows if you have the skill" etc etc etc that it was time to post something that would generate some thinking in 'those' people.

It only takes one person riding like a moron. The other rider in that clip may have been going home to a wife and kids - it could have been any of us.

Racing is for the track - lets leave it there.

I have seen that clip before, neither rider survived while the pillion on the other bike was seriously injured.
Not good, but thanks for putting it up Tank.

took my breathe away, and it can happen to any of us at any time!! Scary stuff:mad:

Yep, it makes you want to know more about him, his habbits things he dose etc to see if you do to yourself or sombody you know in a strange 'could it happen to me' thing. Certenly worth keeping two eyes on the road.

I was not around here when it happened ither. All i know was something went baddly wrong in a corner resulting in a crash. From what i have read about them they were both top blokes and we should learn from the tragic event.
