That one did occur to me but to be honest I just think it is too graphic to copy and paste into here. He was at fault but the driver of the car was convicted of dangerous driving. Yes the driver of the car underestimated the oncoming speed but then how many people can accurately judge speed of an oncoming vehicle? Waste of a life and a very brave decision by the family to allow it to be used.

I still ride all year and try to get out at least once a month even in the winter. Sadly never managed it in February. When I do go out I always try and avoid the 'biker roads' and there are a lot around here. My reason for this is that I do not want to have to be looking out for some nutters thinking they are on a track and that they have the abilities of Rossi. It is sometime since I was involved in dealing with RTC's or rider training but I do still believe that the highest risk to motorcyclists is when they are riding in groups. When they do there is always someone who cannot ride as quick as the others yet tries. This often to my knowledge tragically ends badly. Hence I very rarely ride with others and if I do they use a system to ensure safety which is always adhered to. I doubt that I actually know the limit of my abilities on a bike and I have no intention of finding out! I always ride using the full training that I have been lucky to have in my career and am always aware that my safety is my responsibility. Motorcycling is a fantastic experience if, like others it is done within safe parameters. I would just add that you may see riders riding too fast, dangerously and not wearing the correct clothing. Please do not tar us all with the same brush. There are no dangerous roads and motorcycles ridden and maintained properly are no more dangerous.

'Some' being the operative word. Having spent my former years picking up the pieces and knocking on the doors of nearest and dearest to give them the and news and then a few years after that training people to ride and then ride better I fully accept the 'some'. Just the same as 'some' car drivers, some white van drivers and so on. The rider in question in the clip was incredibly lucky not to become another statistic and incredibly stupid to post the footage on youtube. Obviously thinking it was the lorry driver's fault. The fact that when the lorry pulled out the road would be clear maybe didn't enter the head of the rider. Like a lot (note not all) of footage that is posted from dashcams and the like it often comes with free indignation that someone has done them wrong but very seldom a realisation that they had a part to play in it and could have done better.

'they'? 'We', like any other group of motorists differ vastly in our abilities and what we think our abilities are. Admitted 'some' are their own worst enemy and the same as with a lot of things in life it is the minority who give the majority a bad name. Generalisations are generally wrong! One of the Ten Commandments is You should be able to stop safely in the distance you can see and on the correct side of the road.

Included in the email I received telling me about the series is this:-

Read this before I watched it but there was no surprise when I read people complaining about continuity, music and other stuff. None of that bothered me much on the programme because I just accept that is the way it is. What has surprised me is that no one and I do mean no one has asked the most important question. Do we get to see Boris?

It was roofing tiles when I had a 3 series BMW in the 80's. Even in the wet.

4 x 4 with decent tyres and someone who knows how to drive. https://www.facebook.com/115100685602115/videos/416130685499112/

I doubt the year only because wasn't that the really bad one? I seem to recall walking to school in it and it being over the top of my wellies and I was too young for long trousers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bT5zlj_usY

Without a doubt but that didn't seem to worry the driver of the Police car I saw yesterday!

Only if you are wearing your brown trousers!

More luck than judgement I feel. Having driven them I can say that the front end most likely went where he wanted it to but he would have no control over the back once it started to slide. If that weight which is mostly at the back decides to go you ain't stopping it. Not to say that the driver didn't do well but I still maintain there was an element of luck.

Hmm. What has put you in such a positive mood this fine day then?

Not cleaning it off the roof of your car is also dangerous. https://www.facebook.com/100006322866768/videos/1887459648141446/

Isn't this networking?

I don't know because I never look in there. I hadn't seen it before and thought worth sharing.

This product currently not available.

'If' someone does a Terrier sound decoder (I only have diesels) then yes you need a sound decoder. Sound decoders do the same as non sound but with sound of course. I am sure someone will be along soon to tell you who does the sound you want.

Can't recall is it the French or the German women who don't shave their legs?

Still funny till someone popped along and spoilt it.

Just testing!

Speaking of French cars.

You should be able to do the school run then!
