    Yes, well on first watch I was wondering what the car was doing on a private racetrack.

    But seriously, a little understanding of other road users would go a long way wouldn't it?
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Perhaps she saw the words SLOW on the road, saw the village sign and the chevrons, saw the oncoming car in the wet going a bit fast and figured perhaps she was going a bit fast and as there was nothing behind her 15 seconds ago dabbed the brakes. If I had been driving I would have put the twat through the hedge as soon as he opened his mouth. Arsehole.

    I had one of those bar protectors on my BMX when I was a kid as well.

    At least he cancels his turn signals

    Rides on his emotions though.

    What was wrong with the overtaking opportunity at 1:14 after that car went past anyway? Softcock as well.

    If he was going faster, waving and wearing Hi Viz it might have been worth watching.

    Agreed. When I read the title to the thread and the title to the clip I thought it was going to be a lot worse on the cars part. The rider got what he deserved and was lucky it wasn't a lot worse.

    I kinda have to agree with most of the comments so far, the Guy on the Kawasucki over-reacts. He had heaps of room between himself and the Range Rover. Whole vid is a bit of a non event.

    Kind of what I'd alluded to.

    As the vehicle behind the car, the onus is always on the bike to be able to stop in the available distance. The SLOW sign was clearly visible, and regardless of what the rider though, it's not unreasonable to expect someone to slow a vehicle down when seeing SLOW markings.

    Tolerance of and empathy to the requirements of motorcycles is something riders are demanding as a right. This right should also apply conversely.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
