back in the 70s i used to race motorbikes .... padget yamahas in the 250 cc club class , id regularly top 100+ , but that was on a race track .... how the guy in moscow managed to stay alive baffles me .... total utter stoopid winker ( deliberate missprint )

[briggie]

this is where i used to race a lot ..

yea but Pete I used to do that in London on a 650 Thunderbird up and down the Bayswater Road, 88 buses used to hate me, but then you come off a few times and it gradually sinks in that it is not the way to behave, thats the problem we all have to learn, we cannot be told, thats life, Rick

[tezzer]

well all i can say is the rider definitely has some balls and knows the bike well, still a wally though. he didn't even take a mirror off as far as i could see.

i often wonder what these people are thinking just before they set off for these stunts ....

1/ everyone will think im cool

or

2/ everyone will watch me die

one thing is for sure they are sick and need locking up for everyone's safety.

hopefully they are not going out to kill others . but if they are prepared to die they cant think much of anyone
