I have to agree... the riding of the bikers going to the NW200 last week was very good. Most of them were driving to the speed limit, and generally being good (no stupid stuff).

No brakes ()... He shouldn't even be given that van. I think you maybe mean very poor brakes.

well yeah poor brakes!

a few weeks ago one of the delivery guys had an accident due to the poor vans they are given, the police went to the depot and had all the vans checked over, most of them needed new tyres, new windscreen wipers and new brakes!!

death trap they are, and the boss had to get mechanics in etc that nigth and fix them, they didnt do Andys or one of the other drivers van, he isnt staying there long anyway he's leaving.

I hate motorcyclists (well most of them) they ride like tw*ts and have no regard for traffic laws. One the other other day was doing about 60 to 70 in a 30 (from the skid mark he left) when an MG TF pulled out infront of him. He hit the back of it, his bike went flying as did he - right over the car. Luckily it was a convertable otherwise he would be dead. He did break his back and may not walk again however. It was all on CCTV which was interesting to watch.

Thats how my uncle died just like that!

but he wasnt speeding he was doing the limit down a country lane, just giving his bike some fresh air then out pulls a renault clio doesnt stop to see my uncle and BAM! my uncle's head hit the drivers window crushing into his spine, he then flipped over the car and then rolled down the road a few times. and yet he had all his leathers on but what good were they? he died on impact.

the driver of the clio turned out to be someone on the run and under the influence, my uncle was 34 when he died, he had everything in life he didnt deserve that, and you know what happened with the clio driver? yeah he got a poxty fine and a slap on the wrist what complete ******* ******!!!
