but then I guess if he had been doing 30mph there would not of been much problem, but then I guess the thrill isn't in doing 30mph??
like everything else in life Lee wrong time wrong place its all over, all we can do is rduce the odds
i agree Andy. But the guy blasting about abviously knows hes taking massive risks doing that speed...so its his perogative and his life i suppose!
Speed isnt the thrill for everyone. I have never been a speed freak. All the cars ive owned its always been through looks not speed. I like acceleration tho....but not top speed etc...
when i had the bike i kinda plodded along enjoying the freedom it gives you, but gave it a blast on the dual carriage ways for the rush the acceleration gives you
TBH, the sort of person i am and how i ride/rode im less likely to die on a bike than most of the people on PF who drive their cars fast all the time....but making thier cars even faster is deemed a good thing
