    On the BT Home page there is an article and video of a blade rider doing 157 mph. Apparently, he was jailed!

    Jesus, if most people knew how often bikers hit 150+ on sports bikes they'd be stunned. Being used to 'car' speeds they prob' can't grasp that a sports bike can blast up to 150 and slow down to 70 again in about 30/40 secs.

    (I'm in 'gay Paris' at the moment and have just noticed a French flag has appeared below my avatar after posting this ??)

    Yes, very true, but if you feel the urge, just don't record it and stick it in public domain.

    There's many things that car drivers really don't get... They can't work out speed and distance, fail to read road signs, and then shake their heads at what they conceive to be dangerous but don't get that we can put ourselves in positions on the road that they can't because of where they sit in their car.
