    Your video makes baby Jesus cry :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,013 ✭✭✭✭Wonda-Boy


    There are some really terrible crashes in there but some absolute funny gems.....if anyone is in any doubt about ATGATT this is for you. Seeing the riders in the sunshine states hit a truck at F1 speeds with just a pair of shades!!!!!!

    Thanks, but I don't think I'll bother.

    You really should mate....keep you grounded and remind you to stay FROSTY (cool and calm) out there ;)

    It's one thing I don't watch. I'd probably never go out on the bike again if I watched it.

    I turned of that video after 3 minutes....as I couldnt look at it anymore and personaly didnt think it was 1 bit funny or well worth a watch either.

    One factor with all those crashes......RIDER ERROR and SPEEDING.

    great find there .thanks for post'in

    Crashes like these happen everyday and are very possible each time you take the bike out. Ignoring the fact wont make it go away. Its not just your own speed,skill and position etc. its the other road users. I reckon the more aware you are the more you can do to avoid it.

    One factor with all those crashes......RIDER ERROR and SPEEDING.

    Watch it again so.:eek:

    Jaysus grumpy does snowwhite know you are on here trying to be the voice of reason!

    It was not meant to be funny Patrick, if you did not bother watching it or had no inclination to watch it, why click on the post at all to tell us exactly WHAT YOU WERE NOT GOING TO DO!

    :rolleyes:

    Why in your opinion is it the Riders fault in every one of them videos??

    I seen in alot of them that the cars pulled out into the bikes. In many cases actually drive into the bikes. Not a chance the rider could avoid.

    Of course many idiots are in the video too on bikes with a death wish.

    But to say the rider was the cause in every clip ...:confused::confused:

    Some unreal crashes. 24:14 is by far the scariest. Like a rag doll.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,396 ✭✭✭✭kaimera

    and I do enjoy watching those type of clips.

    you obviously didn't watch much of this video or even read wondaboys posts. no one thinks this is funny here. we are all bikers. the idea behind a video like this is to learn from other peoples mistakes. If you don't want to watch it then don't. simple.

    It's the only reason I watch these kind of vids. I also use them to calm myself down , every now and then I need a reminder of how easily and quickly things can go wrong!


    So am I the only one who laughed at the UPS truck incident and the guy on the roof! :o

    Take off the tin foil hat nobody said you could not post, dont be such a paranoid-paddy.

    If you wanna watch it watch it, if you dont want to dont.....everyone also has a right to post up what they want without the "Nanny Patrol" posting up that they dont wanna watch it. Easier ways to get a post count lad. :o

    Chillax Patrico...Its all good.

    In all fairness there's a lot of 'em down to driver error and sheer bolloxology.
    There's a lot of indicators broken on those cages too though.

    Looks to me like u opened itself up to it

    1. By not watching it and still trying to have an opinion.
    2.by stating every single crash in the clip was the riders fault.
    3. By not defending or backing up your opinio .

    WTF has my post count got do do with this???

    I dont need to up my post count for any reason.

    Ive been here a few years now,and I post on boards regulary on a wide range of subjects...so Ive no need/reason to be wanting to up my post count here on this thread.

    The only things I learned from watching that are 1) don't ride a bike in Russia and 2) filter within 10mph of the traffic around you. Oh, and open your eyes.

    Most of those crashes are drunk, speeding Russians. The bikers and cagers are at equal fault in many of them.

    'c


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,498 ✭✭✭BrokenArrows


    I watched a bit of it. I think I've identified a bit of road on my commute home where I ride a little stupid to get around traffic I'm going to think twice before doing it again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,307 ✭✭✭✭Cienciano


    Never mind wonda-boys video, check out this one. Some of the stuff in this defies the laws of physics.

    Don't agree with that, i watched about 10 seconds and one of the first crashes is a car turning right in front of a bike. Rider error and speeding is a factor all right, but definitely not all of them.
