How many motorcyclists ride well outside their limit - this is how it can so easily go wrong!

    You'd think when he just missed the first motorbike he'd back off.

    That's where the wobble starts, isn't it? Just after missing the first one he wobbles, strays off line and is no longer in control of his bike. Or his life.

    I hope the rider coming the other way survived the crash.

    Shocking, especially when you read on that the fella he hit died - the ar$ehole with the camera survived and did just 4 years in prison :evil: :evil: :evil:

    The guy that caused the crash got too wrapped up in catching the guy that stuffed him earlier.. and did not have the balls to admit to himself that the other guy was just a faster rider and did not have the ability to keep up safely.

    Yup, that's how I read* it too. He seemed pretty safe - or at least well within his capabilities - until red-jacket passed him. The rest is history.

    * Though I hadn't read on to see that it was the innocent biker that got killed.

    I was out on my cycle the other day and a c0ck on a motorbike did a wheelie towards me on a narrow lane. Couldn't get his number but if I had I'd have had no hesitation grassing him up to the Police.

    When the c0ck gets it wrong and 300kg of scrap comes down the road at me at 70mph I don't think I'd have much chance.

    c0ck for demonstration purposes.
