Bike crash vids

[Manxman]

I like Yanagawa's "Manuel, from Fawlty Towers" impression between 50s and 53s.

..and Fogarty's "Get the fluck outta my way" with Kraus. Harden up boy. Man that fella had a will to win.

Incredible Motorcycle save

You have to see it to believe it. This dude loses control of his bike, falls off and runs after the bike and gets on it again.

funny, he probably did check his mirrors, little did he know that little dot in the distance was travelling at a ridiculously high speed.

Kinda like if you checked your mirrors and saw a car in the distance, checked your blind spot then move lanes but find out that car in the distance wasnt doing sixty but one sixty instead.

problem here is the fuckwit flying past the queue of traffic.

[motorbyclist]

yes to the fuckwit being largely at fault, although, it does seem a team effort really

[Ragingrob]

Checking your mirrors shouldn't be merely to see if anything is in a certain area, it should be to see if anything's there AND judge it's speed/actions.

Quite often I can find myself going past cars with a high-speed differential, e.g. cruising along the motorway when the left-lane is backed up for an off-ramp. I would like to think that the car pulling out cutting me off would be called the muppet and not I. But yes I would still prefer to slow down that little bit in order to maybe be able to avoid an accident if so-called muppet does pull out.

one of the survival skills of being a motorcyclist is NOT passing stationary/slow moving queues of cars with a high speed differential as that is a recipe for disaster rob.

have a gander at the 50 survival skills thread, lots of common sense in there that I agree with and that is one of them. It is difficult to judge motorcycles speed as most of the time we are just a dot of light in the mirror from a distance.

What if that was a car that pulled out in front of him though?

Depends. If the car driver checked his mirrors and blind spot and decided it was safe whilst unbeknownst to him the motorcycle was travelling at warp speed then I would state it is the bikers fault for riding unsafe for the conditions. On the other hand if the car just recklessly pulled out and the bike wasnt speeding or being stupid I would say it is the cars fault. If the car just pulled out recklessly and the bike was riding like a munter then I wouls say they are both at fault.

The situation doesnt change just becuase vehicle type does, the actions leading to an accident are what should lead to fault being found not whether you are on a moped, in a car, flying a blimp etc.

That said, it is never a good idea to go lfying past a queue of traffic regardless of the vehicles involoved.

it can be very hard to see passing bikes in your mirrors at night as they just look like a car pulling out to look.
In my opinion you need to pull to the white line on the far right of the road and nail it up to 200(3rd gear) to pass a line of cars, then you have room and less time exposed to danger.

[Reckless]

Well two other things I noticed, aside form the fact it was bloody dangerous to pass like that.
Firstly the guy overtaking didn't notice the guy pull out until real late, he was more than 1/2 way across when he got hit. The overtaker nut should have been paying way more attention!

Secondly he was so far across that if the overtaking twit hadn't locked it all up he could have probably have made it through behind him instead of taking him out!

Dunno if you guys agree but the twit needs shooting!!!!!
