    almost looked like they were trying to copy the ghost rider, a good reminder to slow down a bit, and be careful wen you pass, thats hard to remember when your out on the bike and the blood gets pumping, im guilty

    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

    What's so shocking about how he wasn't convicted for his mates crash? He got his dues for what he did, and his mate got some bad consequences for what he chose to do as a grown man. Why should his mate be held responsible for that?

    Typically biased reporting "clipped the back of a hatch back" - the fucker pulled out in front of him, he was hard on the brakes and still clipped the back.
    Signature needed. Apply within.

    Yea, it is biased, but it wouldn't have happened if he was a little more "cruzy"

    As a motorcyclist it would be pretty easy to agree but then again its pretty easy to see why the guy in the car failed to see him,probably only looked in his/her rear vision mirror saw nothing and went,like you i see it as the car drivers fault but personally (after being nailed by a few in my time) i try to allow for there fucking up.I dont want to come across as some fucking know it all prick because i dont but given the same suituation i would have passed each car singularly so that before hand i would have been smack bang in sight of the next ones rear vision mirror,if going to pass em all in one go then i wouldnt have done it with any oncoming in sight so as to allow for the cage fucking up and being able to go round it.Anyways as i posted earlier,tragic.

    How the hell anyone can mistake Kawasaki green one-piece leathers for acceptable attire on the road is beyond me. They were riding like muppets.<-that's a really big full stop.

    In my eyes it WASN'T the car drivers fault -

    Firstly, when the cage check his mirrors the biker was still probably just past or still passing that car behind him.

    Secondly, The bike was clearly speeding. The dude filming was goint 90-95 MPH and the guy that crashed was pulling away. He would of been in excess of 100MPH. Thats is quick.

    Cage indicated before he started overtaking.

    Terrible crash but unavoidable.
