Idiotic or Great riding.....!!!!
 

Can't condone this sort of thing as I do believe in the last caption......

but it's definitely compelling watching which in itself is probably bad as it helps promotes this sort of riding.

what a pair of pr1cks!!

how many people can you p1ss off in the space of one ride.

it just f*cks it up for the rest of us. well done.

He needs a pinlock thingy on his visor

I`d give him & his mate a low life expectancy...only a matter of time..complete idiots.

Natural selection at work. Not a million miles from some of the madder rideouts, but there's a fine line between quick and loopy, and these two are long way over it...

Does make me want 160bhp though:lol:

No wonder Fordy has a sore neck! Bloody BHC rideouts!

;)

Title at the end summed it up.....pity about the person they are gonna T Bone.......good to watch though.....

Crap Lines;)

:lol::lol::lol: BHC ride out can be spirited some times,but not suicidal,Ive never seen any one pull a whellie yet in anger. , pity the rest of the vidi showed to many idiotic moves consistant of either a troubled childhood or lack of a good breast feed in infancy. I personally would be embarrassed to be part of any ride out like that. There are better ways to show biking skills especially like courtesy to other road users when possible . Whether a vid like this encourages this sort of riding escapades I hope not. 4D

It seems I am not the only one who thinks they are an accident looking for somewhere to happen. It reminded me of a 'Fast Bikes' video I have seen where they are thrashing up and down the 'Col du Tende' and in the end the inevitable happens and one of the riders crashes big time-broken bones and written off bike. Wheelies through a village is just plain stupid-as is thrashing past a pub at high velocity on the back wheel-pure madness-it made me cringe thinking that I was going to see one of them die any minute.

It's real easy to ride like a ****:o

woul like to see em ride R.O.S.P.A Gold;)

Couple of nice wheelies but weren't they poo round the corners! Rubbish lines too as Madmav has already said.

Typical chav gixxer thou rider really.
:lol::lol:

nothing wrong with it to be honest. OVertakes seemed safe apart from the lorry on the left... but i'd take that too at the right oppertunity.


Some of you lads need to remember what it's like to be young again.

Absolutely! They have yet to progress from just riding in the centre of their own lane.

Lines on the road completely are different to a track, and as for hazard perception......................I suspect they will be scraped up at some point, just hope they dont take anyone with them!

LOL check out all the ROSPA boys....

HAve you polished your panniers for the summer lads ?

If it means riding like that some of em an't going to be old like us, no fun, no family , no loved ones only those that will visit your gravesone to place flower. We all can see the end result its just a matter of time. Shame to waste a life ,for what, bravardo. *******s would do well to join up and show how much there really want to risk there necks, not other peoples. It wont be them that will have to scrap up the mess or wipe away a tear. Sorry mate can't agree this time . Bad riding is bad riding do you think the other road users are all going to break every rule in the book just to look good on a video. If we all rode like that we would all be banned permanatly from the road or there would be no bike riders left alive in a year. More room for the BHC, now there's a though :lol: 4D

not sure i agree Boss..... people ride like idiots and survive to a ripe old age.... and some ride sensibily and are dead way before their time...

Their riding wasn't dangerous... it was quick yes... it was not the smoothest from an IAM perspective.... but there was nothing actually 'wrong' with it apart from excessive speed.

From a man that wants to "grease" his brake callipers!

Would you know what "wrong" is?

yep, but knowing and doing it right, are two different things :)

:D:D:D:D

Weeksy playing devils advocate again I think.

me Jools ? would i ever do something like that mate ?


:bouncy:

I didn't watch it cos I thought it was boring but, I saw enough to say:

Wheelies in built up areas and past junctions is plain stupid - htf will they stop if they have to?
Don't have a problem with speeding - do it most of the time except in an urban environment.
Crashing red lights is a big NO-NO and one of the worst violations you can perform.
Overtakes on solid whites - bit naughty but, I've done it from time to time so, I can't complain there.
Overtakes on corners they can't see round is asking for it.

They might continue to get away with it but, I doubt it. Unfortunately, all they do is **** people off and make targets of the rest of us. By all means **** around and have fun but, do it away from built-up areas where others can get hurt and where it's not going to be seen.

And what's all the knee out rubbish whilst upright? Should go racing and see how fast they are then...or not ;)

Spot on mate

Two more statistics waiting to happen!!!

It's all good and well doing this on a quiet open road but when you endanger other people it then becomes not funny.

where were they endangering someone ?

Built up area wheelies ? depends if you class a country road and 2 cars as built up i guess.

Wheelies in a built-up area...how about the pedestrain crossing that they wheelied away from? By definition if there's a pedestrian crossing then there will be pedestrians about and footpaths. It's almost certain the area is a 30. If you fall off a bike in a built-up area where there's pedestrains then there is no telling where it's going to go. 400lb of moving metal hitting a pedestrian is going to be messy.

C'mon Steve - it's stupidity and you should know better than to defend. Out in the glf zone - fair play but, in an urban environment???

hmmmmmm Tricky one mate.... i'm not exactly defending their actions, but by the same count i'm not wanting to string them up. Honestly, i saw nothing apart from the Lorry undertake that wasn't fair game. He even waited for a gap that i would have personally gone for on many occasions. lol

Well I agree Steve, it's not exactly urban compared to Reading, but they're still arsing around in built up areas where there are people and other unsuspecting (and unwary) drivers.

We all drive cars or vans some of the time and I like to think that I "think bike" when I pull out of a T-junction, but even bikers would probably be caught out by a hard charging Gixer on one wheel

We can argue about this all day long til we're blue in the face but, the only view that matters would be that of the law and the law will see:

Wheelies: offence
White lines: offence
Undertaking in a bus lan: offence
Speeding: offence
Overtalking round a corner without a clear view ahead: offence
Stoppies: offence
Red light: offence

That would get the rider banned without a doubt.

Agree... but surely most of us do that every time we go out ?

Speak for yourself. ;)


I don't do that. Then again, up north we have plenty of room to go for it away from the public gaze.

Wheelies: Dangerous driving.......
White lines: i would class some of those as dangerous on the v/t
Undertaking in a bus lane: again Dangerous
Speeding: offence
Overtalking round a corner without a clear view ahead: Dangerous....
Stoppies: offence
Red light: offence

I think the upshot would be Custodial at HMP.......

Just Jewell and his mate out on a normal ride isn't it?

Pair of ****s though and worse at cornering than me!

yep they don't make themselves look to clever.
but any of us that ride a bike brake the law I bet.
I am sure everyone who rides speeds.
my worst offence is white lines, I pay little regard to them if im getting a wiggle on.

I'm with twpd with his comments. I am not a killjoy but theres a time and a place etc. Seeing someone wheelying through a town centre just winds me up. Its the same as those cretins that I come across that go flying through the 30 and 40 limits in my neck of the woods. They come through at well over the limit making a load of noise and winding the locals up. Then sure enough out of the town on the open road you end up catching em up and passing them coz they cant ride that well. For sure in the past I used to hoon around with a group that pretty much rode like you see in that video but would never behave like that in the towns etc. I stopped doing it a number of years ago after one funeral to many. Things do go wrong even if you are not riding like that but you are lucky if you get away with those kind of actions for long. I've lost count at the amount of times I have witnessed mates bin their bikes through one wheelie too long and too high. Its scary enough on a deserted road in the middle of nowhere but the thought of someone getting it wrong in a town centre at 50 or 60 mph or more while perhaps your wife and kids are stood waiting to cross the road does not bear thinking about.

Apart from the in town stuff, ive done most of what was seen at one time, and will probably do it again!

My knee only comes out when its needed/wanted on tarmac contact!

Yorkie.

If your measuring speed/wheelying on the road i've done far, far worse, they are not riding quick by any means.
Just looks reckless by wheelying in built up areas and poor undertaking and overtaking, anyone can do that.
What i dont do is nail it through built up areas (including wheelies) there is absolutely no point! You probably wont get caught but your plate will get noted and you will get a visit from the plod! i slow down to whatever the speed limits is going through villages that are on any route that i ride 95% of the time.
I do treat a lot of my rides as 'maxing it out' but i'm careful as to where and when. e.g. week night, early evening on a country road that you might come across a handful of other road users in 20 odd miles.
A lot of consideration is taken as to the possiblity of any police activity and we change routes frequently as a result.
I ride with a small group of guys who know the score, we tend to avoid normal bike meeting up places as we just want to ride open country roads without any aggro.
As always there is a time and a place. just my 2p:biaggi:
