A really shallow talent pool here.
Almost all these were avoidable, if the riders had ANY talent.
Watch it all, it's just so good.
I reckon my mate Mick would wanna punch the special fuck at 5:45 in the head...
Darwin awards for those c#£ckheads...
That's why I avoid most other bikes on the road, they are so bloody stupid & incapable of basic riding safety.
I did laugh like hell at the Triumph cruiser riding straight into the wall rather than going around a gentle curve, that was brilliant.
I watched the review of the GSX-8S when it came out, all these international journalists crossing unbroken lines coming out of tight turns, nearly getting collected by oncoming traffic so they chuck a wheelie as if to prove their not complete twats but only enforce the fact.
Then they review the Bike and the garbage they talk is worse than their riding.
A quote from Fred Davies, one of the best motorcycle trainers I've learned from 🥇
"A thinking rider is a survivor, a non-thinking rider is a statistic waiting to happen"
I see plenty whose ambitions outweigh their capabilities especially in the younger chap's riding 300cc rev rockets. Also the odd returning to riding after a long hiatus. Usually they're so used to car braking in an emergency they hit rear brake and lose control.
They're the major reason insurance premiums are climbing as they have the cash to buy expensive bikes, ie Big $$ HD's and BMW's.
This is a lovely reminder that my cautious style is the right one for me.
Going back over the video from my 2022 France trip reminded me of the number of times I was confronted with cars on my side of the road when approaching bends, especially on the balcony roads.
Never ride so fast that you can't stop within the distance you can see.
