Yeah one week left Alex, been buying wood for rad cover today. Still kitchen toe plates to fit and tiling where cooking happens,floor tiles and nearly finished. Yeah it's needed Doing for years al just didn't expect all this extra work and expense. I was hoping to get down to see you n margy seriously I was. Next year perhaps...
That's exactly how I got knocked off my 125, but I was the foolish rider who assumed the van would give way to me without checking he'd stopped! Luckily I wasn't hurt, the bike just bent back in place and they guy settled for damages without going through insurance!
Hello Blah, id love to include this in a compilation if that would be ok? I will credit you with a link to your channel in the description as well as your channel name watermarked on the clip
No worries mate. Just make me look good, OK 🤣 **Edit** and send me a link! BTW, if you want it, you can have this as well. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PQH3f14lbgE.html 4.55-ish.
@@Blahde Cheers mate, ill drop a comment here when the compilations up, and tbf i 9 times outta 10 my videos aren't advertiser friendly so i don't get many ads playing lol, the passion keeps me going
The problem is mate, if they done car tests based on competence then there would be a lot of people removed from the road which they would believe is unfairly because they think it is their right to use it. Well it is our right to be safe on it. Will never change though. I just try to expect it. I didn't even shout at the two idiots in Kent yesterday that tried to kill me. Ride safe
I've seen a fair few police program's where they stopped old folks driving the wrong way down a motorway. Pisses me off when the police have a little laugh about it because the person's elderly. Retest at 70 and then 80.
You and me both!! Anyone does that (and I have to be honest), it's a life threatening situation and in no way funny!! Who can justify doing that sort of thing? Retest. When I get there (If I do...(Hope so:-) ) I'll do it, fail...Fair enough, least I wont kill folks!
totally fair, 5 days ago I was reversing (in an Estate) into a space at Tesco and a stupid woman shot straight into my space... when challenged (naturally) she denied even seeing me.... She couldnt see a black estate car reversing, what chance a bike
Making them allowances ! .. I still to this day remember that advice from you from way back in the day ;-) Good to hear you again and that bike still sounds awesome ! Anyways , if the old people don't have you off .. Enjoy ;-)
New Sub to your Channel...Sadly I didn´t found you earlier ;) Great Intro. Great Bike. Great Accent! If I could speak british english....I´d never stop talking...
Good thing you rode for the conditions and what you could or could not see. Personally, I'd do what you did and be downright as angry if some idiot pulled the same thing. It's all good and well but hey, you're still here right!? :D All that matters chap!
Well it captured that sunrise in pretty much all it's glory! Though it looked like a autumnal sunrise...we're still in August where the fuck is summer?! But silly peeps laying their bike up for winter...now :DD
Ahh, you know this one Marty? Mate, so true but they have just made it ridiculous now. I have been almost hung, drawn and quartered coming from the other direction and having to go all the way around. It's just stupid...Bit of a challenge though ;-)
YOU have violated the copyright thingy and infringed on my loomband-mirror Blah! That bag was karma, acting on my behalf. ;) Yeah old folk.. Bloody dangerous, if you've got the time make a point of telling them off, add a finger wag for good measure. Oh and that vids up on my Faceache page btw..
As an "oldie" myself I feel obliged to comment. I rode several motorbikes in the sixties when there was a lot less traffic about. The problem you had with the stupid old fart was in evidence even back then, but not necessarily with people of advancing years. I was of the opinion then,and still am to a certain extent , that people who pass their test in cars don't think of bikes at all when approaching junctions etc. They seem to have no idea of the hazards that you and other bikers face on a day to day basis. The "THINK BIKE" posters on lampposts help to a certain extent, but it should be emphasised more in driving lessons.Sorry to rant on a bit,love your vids,ride safe!
I had the exact same scenario happen last week, except it was a copper! We both emergency braked, I stuck my hands out as If to say "what the hell dude?" He waved and sped off. It wound me up, the fact he didn't even look as he pulled into my path on the roundabout. But what can ye do eh!
Against the Po-Po...Not a lot. I'll say one thing though, the old guy was so shocked, he didn't even give the 'Wave' I hate the wave, really hate it :-)
1080p naaa ;) that bag looked scary! But if it was full im sure it wouldn't be flying lol the old man on roundabout must just play the age b4 beauty card.... no homo ;)
No "Homo" Taken Ginge :-) Mate, it's pretty sad though, I mean that old bugger is going to kill someone. A very basic fundamental of roundabouts is you look right. Not rocket Science!! Sad but true. Take care matey!!
Mate. I am in it!! If I go over to the next lane, it's *Left turn only* You really have to see it to ...Know it ;-) No worries matey. Video can be tough to convey what is really going on. My lane, (which is correct, according to the road markings) is NOT correct in the great scheme of things ;-)
2 ton mobilty scooters, most haul themselves into the car in the morning to drive at ten miles an hour for the paper, then once or twice a week after ten till about three they cause havoc driving to the supermarket, maybe spot lunch and a not so quick jaunt back home before school traffic builds up. Insurance companies charge more for folks who drive in the daytime as the risk is higher. ps… watch it after 3 mad wound up mothers n fathers in a frenzy….
No but old people guzzle them by the shitload and they'll kill you without even realising it as they look for them! Doddery old sugar junkies! ...Time to engage that law from the film 'Logans run' I reckon. Just bump em off and be done with it! ;)
Hahaha! Actually if memory serves (already a bad start! :) I think the age they bumped them off at in the film was like 45!...so maybe we should definately change that! Either that or i better get a bake on with my Bucket list! :O
littered with old people down in devon :/ saw a woman sat at a clear roundabout not moving, so I pass her as cba to wait, and it turns out it's some old woman on her phone. She looked surprised to see me staring at her -,-
Dunno what Swervin Mervin is on about... there are no lane markings on the R'about where the old fella nearly knocked you off. Looked like he was turning right without indicating too (judging by his position on the R'about). You did good Blah... no-one hurt because of your anticipation approaching the R'about.
Good video Buddy, I had a black bin liner wrap around my helmet when I was doing 50 mph last year by the time I got it off I was on the grass heading towards the corner chevron sign, and I don't mind saying I shit myself, honestly thought It was time to meet my maker, I had just started the long sweeping corner and it hit me, how the hell I made it off the grass and back onto the road in time I don't know, but I'm a big believer that when your numbers up that's it, I can only assume that my number wasn't up! Arrr don't be too mean on the old folks I can guarantee when we get there bro we'll be wanting to hold onto our licence as long as possible, Na not really mate but it does wind you up a bit when they dont look, I nearly got took out today by some bimbo coming out of Mcdonalds I swear she looked right through me, RSM8.
Skeggy Cruiser Thanks Skegg. It's a 'mostly' fun thing, you know that of course. Hey......It's all about the video's ;-) Sometimes though, they *can* do damage. We take our chance and go with that. Mate, be careful out there ;-)
Looks good to me Blah. Hey matey, did you see that programme on telly the other day about driver that were 100 or over years old? Scares the crap out of you thinking that, we have that rabble driving, when they could literally die any minute? They really do need to test every couple of years past 80....maybe every year? There was that biker though, who was legendary in the 90s? Len Onslow I think his name was, rode until he was 102 or something....what a hero! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Len_Vale-Onslow
To be fair Paul. It's not all of em. Although it really does only take one I spose. I think he's an exception and if I could ride to that age, I surely would....Doubtful though ;-)
Good to see you got your angle sorted, you will go strapping the camera to your boots to look up girls skirts, this will teach you to stop fucking around with your settings.
the bags are learning! it was actually trying to capture the shit you call a face, but instead all it got was some of the shit dribbling from your mouth :P but now to the serious bit, i've managed to perfect a technique to get more old people off the road, it involves a 15ft deep hole, a tartan blanket and a crossword book, also works with cross stitch and puzzles but that all depends on your type of prey
We're doing fine mate - thanks for asking ;-) Camera looks very good to me - is that 60fps? Man that driver in the roundabout. Sadly, over here, I feel that the majority of drivers are that careless and will not learn until they have caused "harm at the very least" (as you said). Mate - that left turn after a 3 lane roundabout - Geez - it's almost impossible!! Ride safe mate - oh and what you doing on the 6th or 7th of November?
***** Like I said..."Promising" Cap, if you come over here do you really have to make it the middle of Winter??? I commute and the rest of us (guys you 'know') don't ride in that shit for fun :-)
I know! I wish it was a better planned trip mate - family stuff, my Mum's 80th and she's none too well :( Wifey and I really want to come some time and ride the UK for that week called winter - that's probably a long way off...
***** Cap, fair do's Matey!! Me Mum is so far gone, I don't want to 'say' But anyways...If it's Snowing, I don't ride. Mate, would be *SO* Awesome to say Hi but things are tough for all of us. Mild Winter?? So cool!! Still have NO *Idea* about that November thing..Mate, have fun, take care!!!
You must be old enough to stay in with a rug over your legs and a nice cup of tea and watch some nice videos, maybe? perhaps my ones and see what you think??! How about that for cheekiness!!
I make allowances for actual mistakes, but for the most part it's just people being knobs, I'm not bothered if you're young or old man or woman, you try to hurt me due to your driving, shit's going down. Cam angles is looking great Blah
Thanks mate. It's been a real pain in the proverbial getting it back. I like 1080P but it's so different from 720 (On this cam) Looked great, but no fecker can see where I am going ;-)
Old people need to do an eye test every 12 months by law if they are still driving. You get a mention in my latest vlog Blah. Tell me what you think of my impression? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9TalFJ6ynJo.html
Umm... are we talking about married life or biking? I don't need a couch to sleep on yet but I do need to put a few hours of gear-shifting practice on the clock. I am hoping to pick up a 125 later this week. I'll keep you informed. (I'll tell you what hours I'll be on the bike so you can keep off the roads - tell Maggie too)!
so, when is your office having a 'bring your subs to work day' ???? I've had fools pull out on me on roundabouts... (no that sounds wrong, well kylie will like it)
Glad you still alive not dead through old timers mistake Alex... Does Ur head in lol been there you seen my vid. But you ride so slow you had oodles of time to stop lol ...
Blahdeblah52 yeah true al although im on my 6 weeks hols one more to go i aint been out on bike,been refitting kitchen,after ripping flooring and joists up after woodworm thats taking all my time up!. Was only meant to be lay a few floorboards and fit new units but its turned out a total hasstle. Plumber,electrician,plasterer these i cant do the rest i doing and done mysen. So you can smile being out riding me been blood sweat no tears lol
Dave, seems like a Nightmare!! One good thing...You'll have an awesome kitchen when you're done ;-) Mate, I appreciate that time is important and YT/Videos have to take a back seat for sure. Enjoy the break Dave, it all starts back up in Sep ;-)
You wouldn't like it done here Blah it's Victor Meldue/waiting for god territory.I agree mate drivers should be re tested when they get to 65/70 if they are not safe,then it's game over get out your bus pass time.Its peoples lives at stake after all!!!
Our Live's Nell. I'm not for a minute suggesting a whole driving test but I would like to see a competence test. I think that would be more than enough!
