what a selfish bar steward - some of those organs might be too badly damaged to use again if he crashed at that speed 

but his faith in other road users is commendable, if misplaced 

[Martin_1962]

Rather have him on the road than a piss head

[jonnycool]

It's shocking how many people support him in the comments on the page. I doubt if they'd be so supportive if he came flying through the back of their car at 100 mph

[albitz]

Well, weve all done it a few times, havent we ?


Havent we ?? :-/

the comments at the bottom are unreal  this one is obviously written by a fool

VICTORIA - you are an idiot, and yes the biker was an idiot. BUT you can see he is fully in control more than any drunk driver or stupid women drivers. He was out on a ride and had a quick few blasts. Was not endangering anyone except himself. He is hardly a bad person. He is a very good rider.

now i dont ride bikes but someone who does please explain how you can be in full control doing 149 on the back wheel  :-/

[the alarming man]

I bet you any money that idiot was trying to beat the euro tunnel train...amongest the idiots living around here it is a game...they caught a coach driver at 110 mph last year trying to do it (thought coaches were limited not this one obviously.. saving grace was he didnt have any passengers at the time)....The laughable thing is (apart from when it windy) that train at that point is doing circa 180 mph (give or take) so no normal car or even bike will catch it

He was not doing a wheelie at that Speed, he speed off to that speed, after doing them. 

[the alarming man]

wheelie or not if he came through your back window at that speed i wonder if would still be in control??...but as i was told a long time ago...any fool can drive fast enough to kill themselves..but its the people you take with you

Yes.....and more than a few...

.....any fool can drive fast enough to kill themselves..but its the people you take with you

but when you're on a bike, it's often the fools that are driving at a 'normal' road speed that are the danger to you. Just this morning, a woman in a car decided that she'd straighten the junction out a bit for herself (as I do most mornings when in my car) but she then wandered into my lane without the slightest clue I was there - she seemed to be more concerned about what was in her handbag on her passenger seat. I pipped & flashed and got the usual wave to say sorry  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?
That was at around 25mph

[the alarming man]

testement too what i was told obviously 25 mph is /was too quick for her

[bigegg]

he must have been in full control, cos at that speed, if he wasn't he'd be dead.

[cem_devecioglu]

hmmm.. I frequently reach those speeds.. 








erm.. on the train
