Dirtybill Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Remind me not to go riding with you guys. My first inclination was to ask if this guy was a Bike Courier? I think he showed some very good split second decision making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtybill Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I take it this is in England? At first I thought he was a nutter but I had to remind myself that an onboard camera set just above the top triple clamp is still low. Ever seen on board footage from a racing Kart? The lower the camera, the faster and scarier the footage looks. But he did make some good decisions. btw, I retract and apologize for the, not riding with you guys comment.

Martin Barrett Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I take it this is in England? The Fireblade - no They're driving on the right. The cars that is. The bike is all over the place. Road signs and markings aren't UK. Bike speedo appears to be Kph not that means anything The embedded 600 - Possibly IOM , If the Chaps stood behind the car are Police , They seem to be wearing white police helmets (piff style) Thats the only place (to my knowledge) that have white helmets. Other forces Helmets are black and Traffic officers wear white flat caps. The car also has a yellow rear number plate also indicative of UK Though the bike is possibly white - Thinking more Germans go to the IOM than any other nationality apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzzirider Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I think the clip may be shot in Spain- I thought the number plates looked Spanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I was wondering when Martin would respond to this one. He must have been out chasing (other) bad guys! All I can say is it is a shame that though Darwin usually sorts these ones out it can cause collateral damage in doing so. I am much more impressed by the lads who took their ZX10's and supercharged Vettes out to a remote stretch of road where they are a hazard only to themselves. The racetrack is even more fun! Oh yes! One other thing! Now that I have my MGS I can definitvely say that that instrument panel SUCKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBenGuzzi Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 how can you say it sucks? it looks sooo sweet. are you saying its hard to use? that doesn't sound like some luigi would do, make something difficult for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Corsa Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 One other thing! Now that I have my MGS I can definitvely say that that instrument panel SUCKS! I am a big fan of analogue instruments.Any time I see digi things on a motorcycle cockpit I am repelled. The rest of the MGS1 is TOP thing to have though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Barrett Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I was wondering when Martin would respond to this one You've not been "Pig Baiting" have you? I thought I've been quite restrained. I did chime in earlier in the thread. Been on the radio this week covering the whole county esp the motorways and specalist units so can deploy them to assist the regular guys on the Town Talkgroups. Take over control of the major incidents- this week one chase and one firearms incident. Been plenty busy enough with accidents on the motorways. Just managed to close the M25 (london orbital) , just in time for Friday rush hour,in my area whilst waiting for brigade to cut a driver free. Luckily no fatal accidents during my shifts this week. I see these videos and all I can see is the potential for a serious accident. The Fatal CBR600RR accident I refered to above, seems he was doing about 110mph around a tight right hander in Lane 2 of 2. Came upon a slower car in lane 2 and lost control. He didn't hit the vehicle. Don't know if the car moved across or was allready in Lane 2. waiting for witnesses. It only takes one error in judgement. These very high speed through heavy density traffic in built up areas is just asking for trouble. Going so fast that you're never in one place long enougth to have an accident doesn't quite cut it. I'm getting old and with a family I realise I'm mortal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonio carroccio Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 He is good. Dangerous but good. The gear sounds good. The choosen line on the street is also good. the timing, everytime, is good when passing the car, when cut the curve etc. He always have the right gear ready ..my opinion..
