Can't really say too much about this footage, but it's probably one of the worst I've seen for a while.

That's why I prefer to live here. :D they can take their advanced country and political correct systems and stick them right up in their ar........s.
And do not mention anything about the perfectly correct behaving subjects,  cause they clearly demonstrate what they really are when are visiting here for vacations. And that includs many many nations.
Embrace the wind.

Pathetically low level of punishment for this bunch of half wits, bikes should have been confiscated, sold and money made use of, T.ts either in prison or made to clean up litter on motorway during night for a year or so cleaning up after  their other fellow pond life like brethren spoiling our coutryside. Every where I go now I see lowered dick head cars, chipped,  big bore exhaust, all without exception easy to sort, including similar noisy bikes. All you need is a re engaged Police Force with audible testing equipment, access to a rolling road, and with it court system that realises this anti social behaviour in the open mirrors these Tw.ts lives and the rest of society ( Those paid to sort it) need to get on top of this scum.

I wrote here before my wife and I were invited to join a bike tour organised by a local main dealer  to the continet a few years back, some of the riders in this group rode like complete nobs. An older former trials champ only lasted 5 hours before he gave up and went off home wiith his mate. They later had to refund him. My wife and I had seen enough within 24 hrs and had the lot at the evening meal. I tightend 30 or so of them and my wife gripped the balls of the "Organisers" in front of this bunch, mainly Lemming like whimps. I pointed out duty of care, corporate manslaughter, and the fact we were in another country and in fact we are not anonymous these folks have eyes and brains and see the poms Tw.ting through their village at 90 - 100 MPH (Not me and my wife incidentally)  Wheelies from Road Pay Stations, Bikes cut off switches flicked on and off making horrendous back firing sounds in towns and villages !
Needless to say this bike dealership has now lost my entire business and when I hear a prospective buyer for said brand locally I recommend more professional set ups not too far away.

Costas, I do not quite get where you are coming from on this one It maybe me being a bit slow ?

Fortunately, or not, they didn't kill themselves in their stupidity

Wannabe racers (not) easy for them to act like twats on public highways, that is what tracks are for or actually going racing but unfortunately they lack the ability to be any good on track and therefore think they are impressing people behaving like that on the roads. Bit of a light punishment when it was so cut and dry due to the video footage that they kindly provided the Police.

Brian, I am more bothered about others, would the loss of that thick lot be a detriment to wider society ? I think not.

I think the chances of a car coming off second best to a bike undertaking it is slim; cardiac arrest perhaps if they didn't see em coming! The problem with theses eejits is they all seem to bounce...

If only they could only take themselves out, but they don't and some unsuspecting road user gets taken out as well.
