    I would have made it through the gap, this chap made a hames of it! At the very least he could have swung around the truck on the left.

    Go on the left if you really want to get by. But through the middle is just stupid. Very lucky a truck didn't roll over him

    A complete asshole and a danger to other road users. High speed filtering also completely out of line.

    The question is. ... Will he now modify his riding accordingly though ?

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Ya should have easily made that but he was still weaving when he was between the trucks. Bit of a Muppet.

    haha, me too, i clicked in saying, "ahh shiiiiit"

    Target Fixation BIG TIME, how did he not see 2 artic trucks less then 2 miles away on a clear motorway. He could have kicked it down a few gears and would have stopped enough in plenty of time. Prolly making a film for you tube for all his mates to watch at the time. His filtering as was said was shocking too.....

    A perfect example of 'He wouldn't have deserved to be roadkill, but he was asking to be roadkill'...

    Lucky idiot.

    I personally think the worst decision he made there was trying to go up the middle of the 2 rigs at speed with the bike out of control. He should have binned it on the left in the verge if anything.

    Proof once more that video cameras cause crashes.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,605 ✭✭✭gctest50


    Just to restore the balance



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,576 ✭✭✭Skill Magill


    Really enjoyed that, however he failed to utilise a perfectly good traffic free pavement on his right hand side, he'd never make it as a courier over here :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,599 ✭✭✭Fiskar


    Normal day of filtering on the M50!

    Some amount of traffic over there though.

    Worst decision he made was putting the video on youtube! Why would you want to show that to people?!

    I don't think he even bothered to use the front break at all, locked up the rear and proceed to soil himself!

    If I remember correctly, the guy in the first video was a "back to biking" forty something out on his second or third day, on his new middle age crisis bike.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,063 ✭✭✭Greenmachine


    You can hear him screaming "sh!t ...!t" from about the 10 second mark and then we hear him jam on at 13 seconds when he is trying to squeeze through the middle. :o
