    First thing I'd do is stick a bit of insulating tape over that flashing orange light on the clocks. :D

    Thats what i thought aswell

    Mine flashes at first then when its really close to empty it stays on the whole time

    He didnt seem to worried about saving his petrol though:D

    Good video but crazy carry on doing that up there, he had a little scare at one point aswell

    I would not have liked to meet him coming for me!

    The bit where his mate ahead nearly met the range rover was mad, didnt seem to faze him at all!

    3 actually :p

    Here's one that didn't work out so well.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    Re. the stunt clips posted earlier well here's some Irish stunter's in Finglas recently.

    Its a long clip but well worth watching.

    Polish lad is was out in a group of 4, he was last. Came off at the back others never came back for him (cant post up why), lad only bought the bike a couple of days ago. And his Dainese suit the week before....in the end it turned out he had multiple fractures to his hip and a broken collar bone.

    None of us having a siesta on the road in pain.

    Guy was a Polish lad who was with a few others out for a spin. If you see the few bikes going the opposite way in the vid, its them.
    He was the last in the group who took off from Laragh, and with inexperience, he scared himself on a very slight bend in the road, looked at the wall at the side of the road, scraped off it, and ended up wrecking his bike.

    Its a pity that none of his mates ever thought of using their mirrors.

    We just came across the scene, and helped out while waiting for an ambulance.

    Big thanks to the owner of Bikeworld. He was stuck in the traffic delay, and he offered to take the wrecked bike in his van and mind it for the lad, FOR NO CHARGE or no charge for storage either. We helped him get the bike in to his van.

    Saw this is another thread, doesn't look like the BMW goes over 299kmph on the speedo, I wonder if this is because of the so called gentlemans agreement made betweeen manufacturers in 2000?
    It looks to me like he certainly is going over 299 but the speedo wont show above it. That said the cbr blows him away! (unrestricted)
