Sounds like preaching instead of just replying to my video to me, but than again I didn't graduate college like the rest of you. :frusty:



I think you were going too fast for the traffic you were in and you pulled a bunch of stupid moves that give us motorcyclists a bad name. On top of that, if you think 125 is fast, you don't really know what fast is.
Not impressed except by the stupidity of it all. I'm sure the cagers were impressed as I would have been if I were a cager in one of the cars.

Good drivers/riders make bad drivers/riders think they're good. You're lucky the cagers were good defensive drivers and held position to let you through. They could have cut you off. I'm glad they let you survive unscathed.

Take it to the track. Its easy to be a legend in your own mind. Go race against the big boys and see how good you really are in a safer environment.
This isn't about you having fun as an individual but endangering everyone on the road around you....

Not only that....you're thumbing your nose at the law using lawyers to avoid the penalty of breaking it.
Thats one thing, but you cant post this and expect people not to preach to you about your actions. It's kind of ashame that you dont even realize or care about the name you give to other bikers. Ah well, there will always be guys like you. Hopefully you're just never on the road at the same time as my family

You asked for opinions, and it looks like you got them. No need to lash out at people who don't have high regard for what they consider to be high risk riding.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

An opinion would be "that looks dangerous" or "I would never ride like that" or "looks like you could hurt other people by doing that".

What I feel I have received is more than someones opinions and basically, I'm not angry or looking to start an arguement, I'm just stating that they could preach all they want cause I will not change just from what they have said. Sorry you guys feel the way you do. My main goal was to provide a source of entertainment and get some good laughs out of it.

If you don't think I'm cool, then you're a snob, so please don't respond in that case either. Also, if you dont agree with me, you're either old, or have a college degree and think you're smarter then me.
Since this is indeed a thread on a BB, if you disagree with me, then obviously you should have PMed me with your response, because thats how threads work. So don't be an "O Ring".

That is all. Please enjoy the video.

That's a good one. I like it! :laughing: Let me guess, your the type of guy that has to ask his wife to go out for a ride OR you have your bike stored at a friends house and you tell your wife that your going out food shopping but you actually go for a quick ride. If I'm wrong, don't forget to wear your dress the next time you go for a ride!

I watched the vid a couple of times and hung back a little before I commented. Firstly I think the camera has forshortened the view and you had much more room than the vid suggests. 125m in kmh is 200 so doubtfull you hit that. However you have had the honesty to post the vid and ask for opinions. In South Africa it is common to see riders doing the same as you, mostly because every one is bloody agressive on the road anyway. Different riders have different styles, it's what makes us unique. Personally if you kill yourself riding like that every day, I could care less, but even you have to admit that you may be the cause of an accident with that riding style in that heavy traffic. You got well roasted on this one but thanks for the vid, post the next one with you and your buddy's dicing on some twisties.

sapaul, thanks for your comment. You mixing km with mph though. I only hit about 125mph which I'm not sure converts to KM's. That sport bike did toast me at first, but keep in mind I'm on a cruiser and that was a sport bike. My next video I'm gonna try to get behind one of my aggressive friends so you guys could really see the distance through the cars alittle better.

Now why wouldn't mph convert into kph?

125 mph
= 201.2 kph
=55.88 metres/second
=183.3 feet/second

One complete blink takes about a third of a second and at that speed you're moving over 60 feet with your eyes closed... :shock:

Not that great an idea if those gaps are as small as they look... :roll:
