Really annoying, the video camera needed to be mounted just that little bit higher, nice twisty road though.
Found this funny one on the same youtube page,, Mr Slippery Tyres !

That first vid is absolutely mental.
I know the road though, in the first half they start off at Lydd and ride towards Camber, with the army ranges on the left, then pass the holiday caravan site before entering Camber. Excellent biking roads down there. Just a long way to get there. It really would make a great ride out sometime, going the scenic route (no motorways).
Depending on the weather, I am planning a ride down there in a couple of weeks time (on a Sunday). Because of the distance, it will be an early start. I'll post up when I've decided on a definite date. I am doing it because I want to go and ride the roads there, but anyone is welcome to tag along.

tell them to sort there lines out! lol

at the risk of being flamed.. they are riding very dangerously.. good vid and i only found some of the overtaking to be a bit 'ooooh dont want to do that..' Stealth can vouch for that.':reading

Even though i dont ride a sportsbike even i can see their road positioning sucks.. and they cant ride in formation either, i was waiting for 3 things to happen in that video..

1. the rider in front to have to brake for something and the guy behind to crash into him.
if your going to ride in a pair or more then ride to the side.. only move in if you must the road is big enough for two bikes.. and keep your distance too a cars length i believe is highway code?..:grin3

2. the second rider to hit that car when his 'heel plate' or whatever it was got stuck.. seriously dangerous.. sort that out lol:laugh1

or

3. one of them to crash when they overcooked the corner into the oncoming traffic..:reading

Great vid, and no disrespect but seriously.. that had me sweating..:grin1

'twas an example.:rolleyes:

Yes i see his post about leaving the forum on another thread....

Murray- Stealth posted this on the 'wanted forum' thread in the 'Oi! Admin' section.



Just to add to this, this is exactly why i've decided that i wont be using the forum anymore, too many changes/paid membership etc & the site has been ruined.

All this crap has started since all these new "ideas" on the forum began, the forum hasn't moved forward at all it's moved backwards in my opinion & thats why i wont be using it anymore im afraid. It's completely different to the original forum that i joined up to. That one was fun & informative, this one barely even has anything to do with bikes anymore & is just getting boring.

I'll keep my profile on here so if anyone needs to contact me they can & will keep an eye on the rideout sections from time to time, Im always on www.gixerjunkies.net (http://www.gixerjunkies.net/) also & www.trackdayriders.co.uk (http://www.trackdayriders.co.uk/) from time to time as well.

Apart from that thats me done with EB.

Cheers all.


Didn't really get much of a send off, infact.. i dont think anyone really quoted or mentioned it??:confused:
