    The Chief of the Welsh police stating "Motorcycles are an increasing
    *cause of death* on our roads"?

    Clearly Mr Idiot has no concept of the fact that the vehicle itself
    isn't the cause. The man clearly needs to me taken outsade and beatun
    until he's no longer stupid.

    Rant over.

    And of course they had to find a **** claiming to have done 200 mph to
    substantiate their story of bikes being dangerous. The most fresh outlook on
    things came in my opinion from the least likely suspect: the woman who'd
    lost a child. Less of the cameras, more of the education....

    To be fair, the twat who reckoned his GSXR did 208mph on the local
    by-pass also needs to be beaten senseless as well.

    He was so stupid I suspect his head has already imploded.

    Problem with that was they seemed to imply that education in the form
    of advertising was the answer rather than training.

  6. Glad I'm not the only one who sat there and went "like **** you did pal".

    Still it was nice to see the beeb are up to their usual standards of
    unbiased reporting.

    Even worse, that interview was a repeat of one that's been shown before
    on another BBC shock horror show. So both lazy journalism and bollocks.

    Hmm, methinks an "irate of Liverpool" e-mither to
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/real_story/2830363.stm could be a
    plan.

    Correct me if I'm wrong please, but the gixxer thou never came with red
    stripes on the fairing when in the blue colour scheme, did it?

    I thought that was only seen on the 600 or 750.

    In which case, matey's claims of 208mph are total and complete bullshit,
    not that they weren't before.

    Next thing they'll be saying that those bastards in their flash rally cars
    are a danger to the public and need to be dealt with. Oh, hang on . . .

    Well, it could have been a Thou, I don't really know the colour
    schemes too well. And with a top speed of 186 it could very well read
    over 200 on the clock, but he should know very well the bike doesn't
    do that.

    Unless he's had it well screwed together, of course.

  13. But, surely 200mph can't be dangerous - after all, he survived!

    That woman who let her child play on the road "For just 10 minutes", when
    her child was run down by a car. I wouldn't let my (6 yr old) child spend
    any time playing on the road, certainly without supervision, but who's to
    blame?

    My 3 younger kids played in the street from the age of 4 or 5, but we
