Oh ****... wasn't expecting that :/ Isn't it still legal to get a public birching in the Isle of Man !? I think a good birching should be compulsory for any motorcyclist caught going slow during TT week
The TOSSER who is going too fast to stop in the distance available is the one who should receive 'A SOUND THRASHING' if you ask me mate. There's no excuse. Nick.
Absolutely. Just because there is no speed limit, it doesn't mean you don't have to observe hazards and drive defensively. In fact it is more reason for doing so. It's twats like that that get mountain closed for most of the week. I know when I'm there I get a nip on over the mountain, but when I have my bird on the back I won't be going so fast and won't appreciate being taken out by a nobber like that!
And he looks like a giant, the kids face when he got out of his car and the guy got off his bike, looks like he went 'oh ****'
I think he realised that someone dressed in full gear with helmet is rather well protected in a fist fight and rather intimidating. I remember ages ago was out walking the dog down a small lane and some twonk on a trials bike came past me at 30 mph and I called him a twat or words to that effect nearly ran the dog over, he got off and started shouting off at me and doing the "what did you say mate?" I thought to myself hmmm dont think im going to repeat it when your dressed in full body armor and im in my flip flops haha
Lambchops surely you don't mean the flip flops of invincibility?? I've seen men on ZZR1400 riding with them so they must be "well 'ard".
I can advise Crocs are a better alternative to flip flops for motorcycle riding ! (yeah thats right, i said it) I discovered this after a nasty incident in Thailand involving a CR250 moto crosser with no brakes, a very steep rough concrete hill and only shorts, flip flops and a bandana for protection ! The outcome wasn't pretty !!! After that i upgraded to Crocs and managed to keep the remainder of my toes for the rest of my stay...
