Not my video.
But this is a compilation of crashes involving motorbikes in general. Absolutely unbelievable, as were the previous years' ones.
These clips show the folly of
a) no training for riding a bike,
b) bad other drivers
c) inability to control the bike
d) inability to understand the rest of the road users
e) speed is a killer (for yourself)
f) buying a bike that is too powerful for you and that you don't have the experience for
g) showing off
h) inability to understand that, although the bike can do something, it's just fucking stupid to do it
i) bad decision-making on going through junctions at speed, not using lifesavers, pulling into traffic, crossing traffic, carrying pillions, lane-splitting (as opposed to filtering)
This is everything that the UK Government is trying to prevent through forcing bikers to undertake proper training and show they are good enough to ride a bike - CBT as min for lower size, and then a tough test process for bigger bikes.
The most sensible thing in the video is the cow that just stands there chewing its cud. The least sensible I saw was the guy riding a moped one-handed with his left hand cradling his sleeping baby on his shoulder. Absolute madness - if that kid lives to 2 years old I will be very surprised.
Ride safe everyone,
