The thing is Costas, if we, riding in a group, tried to ride like they did, we'd be nicked!

Well forget about these new 21st century carbon, camera laden, HUD helmets. I want one with a whistle in the chin guard. 8)

My friend here we would be aplueded.  By all tin drivers and coppers too.for example in a bikers convoy second to pin riders duty is  to block a crossroad at country roads so all the bikers crosses as one, a practice very common here.
Yes here i know, thinks are different.

Having spent quite a bit of time on the roads featured in this over the last few years I am amazed at what they can do. Its great to see good craftsmen at work, I wish I could be that good.

It's not just the 'good', it's the 'fast' and the 'safe' and the 'polished'.

I was driving down Pall Mall when a couple of white police bikes that appeared to be stripped of non essentials stopped and at the side of the road and then took off with a big car behind them and more bikes behind that. The way they moved around was so precise and sharp, then I noticed the guns on their belts and the escorted car came up beside me and the Queen gave me the nicest of smiles. Bloody good work by the cops. It was worth paying the congestion charge for that.

Its not always the destination that counts its the ride, having a destination just stops you going round in circles.
