ste Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 so went out sunday for a ride, all was going well. until i made a stupid move, had a another bike behind me too, he must of thought jesus christ. i have uploaded it. because if anything it should be a lesson to 125 riders. bike didnt have enough power. i was in the zone and i was feeling excited. i suppose worse stuff happens else where, but i feel abit bad about it too. i normally ride nice and steady and keep the revs mid range, but sometimes i like to blast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GgRL-WA_GAi know it was bad, the problem with me once i commit i dont back out. i just go for it.would like to say sorry to the guy behind me too, if he ever see's this. i know it was bad. then i f**ked off lol.

RantMachine Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Well, you lived to tell the tale and you recognise your mistake, that's the important bit. I once did something very similar but it involved two articulated lorries Quote
ste Posted October 6, 2015 Author Posted October 6, 2015 if you watch abit back, i pull up at lights before the ones with time stamp, i should of got behind the other biker, but i was in the zone on that little 125, it was bad. that car driver must of thought wtf too, dont think the white van was bothered but who knows, -plus that other guy on the bike at lights as im overtaking, i think it would of been fine on something bigger, but still looking back at that, even on something bigger, should of waited oh well.... well doing that past articulated lorries, you mad head lol !!!! oh well, as you lived to tell that tale too.

Stu Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Eh would you rather everyone slate you for your cock up? Quote
Tiggie Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 ?????? I didn't see anything from the other posts that wasn't friendly banter, think you have got the wrong end of the stick somehow. Quote
Joeman Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 What did you expect?? Praise for owning up to doing stupid overtakes on an underpowered bike??Of course we were gonna take the piss..All of us stuff up at some point, and that was a pretty big stuff up, but learning to take a ribbing and move on is all part of growing up.... So stop being a diva and take your punishment like a man!! Quote
Joeman Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Why'd you remove the video?Basically he went to overtake a car with another car coming towards him. He had plenty of opportunity to back off, bit instead decided to crawl past. He ended up passing between the two cars. Very silly thing to do as he admits himself, but seems he got a bit freaked out by us all confirming it was silly... Very strange... Quote

mealexme Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Why'd you remove the video?Basically he went to overtake a car with another car coming towards him. He had plenty of opportunity to back off, bit instead decided to crawl past. He ended up passing between the two cars. Very silly thing to do as he admits himself, but seems he got a bit freaked out by us all confirming it was silly... Very strange...Not seen the original video, but if the OP is still reading this, I'm sure we've all done worse. We all live and learn. It's the learning part that's important here. Whilst in a really bad mood, in the rain on a bike I was still getting used to I tried to overtake someone. Got up to about 70mph to overtake a car doing 40, uphill with an oncoming car. Ended up on the white lines, rear end sliding all over the place, front end hitting the cats eyes and wobbling all over the place, sandwiched between the car I was overtaking and the oncoming one. Shat myself right up, and more than likely scared the hell out of the two car drivers too.It's situations like this which have made me think twice on EVERY overtake since, and that happened years ago.Keep your close call in your mind every time you go to overtake. If your not sure if you can overtake, then don't. I've gone to pass a group of cars at once before and pulled in just behind the lead car, even though I had enough room to overtake him too as a "just in case". It's not worth trading your life for a bit of fun Edited October 7, 2015 by mealexme Quote
Mr Fro Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Not seen the original video...Basically 5 minutes of... something... followed by a poorly timed and executed overtake in to oncoming traffic.Bit dicey to be fair but I'm sure we've all done something similar. Quote

JRH Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 I meant bike related. ('Spouse we'll get nurses on bikes now). Quote
Tiggie Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 It was at a bike rally full of bikers and the 2 men (yes the nurse is a man!) pictured I'm pretty sure ride bikes if that helps at all? Quote

ste Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 the internet is full of shit, its like been in a pub full of drunks and thats what this world is, its in a sorry state of neglect. i saw the aftermath of a car crash the other day, i was gonna stop and help, but i spotted police tape around the car driver side door, so i thought its been dealt with. i get home, i take a look at the video, i dont think it was police tape, around the door, im not sure even looking at the video, what it appears to be, is a cover over a man, and the tape is holding the cover up. theres also a lady standing there with a teddy bear. i deleted that shit off my camera and off my computer, it was upsetting. i know for a fact. alot of people would have uploaded it. thats the drunk person in the pub. so yeah, maybe i can be sensitive at times. but i know whats right. and i have made alot of mistakes on this bike. ALOT. especially when i first had the bike and couldnt ride for shit. and didnt a brain to support the shit i was doing. im surpised i didnt cause a crash or even hurt myself by now on it. the only crash i had, a car rear ended me. must be doing something right. and that overtake was bad, and im not defending anything there. it was shit. even them in cars are people, and its not nice when you realize they are crueled up on a dashboard. that kinda of shit depresses me. f**k that. sorry too. i thought you was taking the piss. thats all.
