    Twats, both of them - the 4x4 for doing the over the white line thing, the bike for trying to pass on a blind right hander........good road skills shown by neither!

    If you watch carefully, the white car in front of the BMW far left of the picture is moving into the BMW's lane, probably avoiding something on the side of the road. The BMW moves over into the riders lane to follow the white car's movement.

    Just as it comes into view the BMW is in it's own lane, you can clearly see when it moves into the bike's lane as the white car moves into the BMW's lane.

    Not that being in-the-right makes you any less dead, the bike shouldn't have overtaken there. It has to be a VERY clear line of sight for me to even remotely think about overtaking a car on hills, gives me both the heebies and the jeebies for exactly this reason.

    If he'd been riding this sucker the BMW driver might have swerved to avoid the gunfire.. Nah! just give the sucker a 1 second blast and ride right on through him.

    What do you expect if you do stupid passing like that? Dumb arse on the Kawa putting his passenger in that position. Shit happens - expect it when riding.

    Thumbs up

    Croc, put our bike away, they see that, they'll all want one, test fired those baby's yet?
    Yep rider for doing the stupidly dangerous overtake on a blind corner and the BMW driver for being so close behind another car that he had to cross the centre line to avoid them. Did think for an instant that he'd spotted the bike and deliberately crossed over to hit him.
    Every day above ground is a good day!:

    Yup. Imagine how well they would work in a cop pursuit if they were facing the other way. Killer booster
