i hear over there there's no cc or power limit for learners

so you get absolute novices buying bikes like a gsxr1000 and crashing about 500m down the road, if they're lucky

Fucktards.

Here, here.

A cc or power limit would restrict their freedoom, wouldn't it....

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck me.

That was bad.

Arrogant wanker eh!

Hope he or she learnt from that; otherwise they are not likely to live to a ripe old age.

man!! good illustration of why not to dab the brakes when you think you've gone in to a corner too hot

. have confidence in the tyres and lean it more eh. btw think it was a "thank you God" gesture rather than the finger.

I didn't see that one.

Looks like it would have made a mess of her top half.

She probably also shaggs on a first date without a condom.

I don't know if it is her fault or the pilot for letting her get on.

She may not have known better however he should have.

I wonder if they will ever speak again.............
