I'd just overtaken someone, and took a bit longer than normal to move back as there was no-one (That i'd seen) behind me. As i went to move back i saw a flash in my mirror and see this audi 4x4 sitting there where i hadn't seen it only moments ago. Before i can move over she shoots past me on the inside speeds well over 70 (i was going above 70 just) and gives me the stink eye. so i flipped her off.

Wasn't that far tbh, but i'm building myself up again so all in all about 120miles. Most of that was motorway/A-road dual carriageways which were quite dull so thought the video might be a larf

Ok that made me laugh I felt it fit the video though!

Moved my camera to the front (for ease) so the picture is quite naff

Agree with above. PC then PS4 then Xbox I dont have an xbox hence why it's last There are tonnes of reviews online for and against. PS+ you get a bunch of free games every month and they're often quite good. I've only bought about 5 games since i owned the console because i play the "free" ones

Yay, Another person saved from a hellish nightmare of owning a chinese bike.

As above. Pre-written anti chinese bike rant Now i do this often enough but lets state some facts about chinese bikes, and more importantly... SINNIS. I while looking for a 125 spotted this lovely looking, cafe racer bike that was an absolute bargain for brand new! Off i wandered to TMBF to ask for recomendations. "Don't do it" says rantmachine "You're a fool" says Stu "Lol" says fozzie.. Did i listen? Off i wandered to the bike shop hard earned savings in hand and a short while later i rode off on my bike. My first issue came when i tried to turn the bike around a normal corner and the bike just slid out under me, apparently the tyres allow a lean of 5 degrees either way before they give up. I had ruined the tank (which was rusting anyway) and put one on order through a local bike shop. "Oh it will be about a month". "Oh well what can i do.." no... no... it was SEVEN. GOD. DAMN. MONTHS. So think of that when you think you can get replacement parts. My next issue would be faulty electrics and crap wiring.. I often had issues with the brakes or indicators as the cable run under the seat and over the tyre.. However they would often slack off and hit the tyre thus causing the cable to rip in half. Not so great when riding at night! Though it pales in comparison to the fact that when riding to work one day i realise my indictator (left rear) was flashing fast in the console "Oh the wirings gone again.." I got to work and went to look at it and what do i find? Nothing.. The f**king indicator just fell off cause of the bolts made out of 3 week old potatoes. Now my final major issue was my accident on the A12, now you're thinking.. "How is this the bikes fault why didnt you ride better" well.. When someone cuts you off at 50mph with not a huge amount of room, you tend to press hard on the brakes. Only as soon as i done that the brakes IMMEDIATELY siezed and threw me off the bike. Bike took several months and lots of money to fix before it developed a droning noise whenever i went about 3-4k RPM.. (see video below) https://youtu.be/3ip7FtJq6HA So to sum it up. Buy a chinese bike if you really want, its cheap for a reason, but when you come on here asking for help fixing it or moaning that its taking ages to get parts, don't expect a huge amount of sympathy because you've been warned. Oh and when i sold it less than a year later with 2000miles on the clock, i'd lost 3/4 of its value.. got 500quid.

R.I.P - The like button Gone but never forgotten March 2016

Remember petrol heads chinese bike that was able to go 99 mph.

What do you call a fish with no "i"'s ?

SO first friday ride day in a while for you?

OH GOD NO PLEASE NO

Oh god.. What is the sinnis of the wife world.. dare i ask? North Korea? Afghanistan? *shudders* Glasgow...?

Yeah get your thai brides like the rest of us (mail order!)

Can he not just go do his mod 2?

To explain how hard to actually close a road, when i did my training they spent 1 (possibly 2 or at least another half) days on training. I was trying to find a video they showed us of officers closing roads poorly and every time it pretty much caused a crash. Not the first person to not see it, but the person tailgating them. At 70 (yeah right we all go 70) your reaction time is not quick enough. And as TC said before at that time of morning.. people "Daydream" Drive...

Gonna hit you with a fish

Ever tried to catch a dog to bathe it..? Good luck catching it when its scared then!

Tee hee

I always wanted to be in firearms squad.. When i realised that if they DO have to discharge their weapon they're placed on "administrative leave" one guy i knew was off work for several months. Its ridiculous.

Just to be clear then. Police can't just DO whatever they please. They can't just sit there and "Oh i'll close a major road now" Usually requires authorisation. You also still seem to believe that closing a road is as simple as *police car stops on 70mph road* *Police car puts blue lights on* *Nobody is tired and doesn't realise untill it's to late smashing into the police car*

"WHat risk is there to human life" 70MPH road where people go faster all the time. dog runs infront what do you do. You swerve. You're in a artic lorry and you swerve into a smart car passing you by and you crush it against the railings killing the 2 occupants. you panic and swerve the other way off the road killing yourself. Probably over the top but it's a potential. Police had to act then and there, they'd tried to catch the dog, the dog escaped/bit the officers. Unfortunately they had to make a choice quickly and they did. Also if you've ever seen the police close a road they can't just STOP in the middle of the road and expect people to slow down in time. It takes a lot of planning time and work. The only person to blame is the dog owner for letting the dog lose.

My friend took me on his bike a few times and i easily outweigh him by about 5 stone. (he's tiny im fat) Wouldn't worry just dont lean to much and put both feet down at stops.

I just feel bad for the cops. They're probably going to be doubting every decision they make from now on because of this. They made a call and ran with it yet they get hung out to dry and worried about facing criminal charges/losing their jobs when all they tried to do is save lives..
