    Very ginger indeed, but yes, it's amazing how the rider managed to
    lift his leg just in time to avoind having it mangled by the car. I'd
    love to know what the rider was shouting afterwards and who actually
    had right of way - he clearly thought he did, but the road layout
    looks otherwise.

    From the way there's no traffic coming from the right for some time,
    then a lot comes through together, I'd guess that there are traffic
    lights which were on red. This giving the bike the right of way across
    the junction and the car jumping the light into the bike.

    But that's clearly just guesswork.

    Oh goody an analizing the footage thread. We haven't had one of those
    in hours.
    The soundtrack could provide clues, is there anybody in the house who
    understands foreignish?

    Must have been Randy Mamola's kid brother. The rest is mostly candidates
    for a TOB[*] list, if only because some don't even care about the
    safety of others (given the number of people doing stunts in jeans,
    teeshirt and sneakers, I won't even discuss the personal safety side).

    Teach a man to fish and he and his pikey mates will have the
    river cleaned out in a day.

  10. Bastards didn't stop to think about the negative press that gives
    motorcyclists everywhere. I mean, there's literally hundreds of
    motorcyclists who have never shorted anyone or even thort of it.

  12. Pretty lame to be deaded for such a non-event of a story - better to do
    what they did and make their own news, in which case they'd be following
    a grand tradition of making it all up anyway.

    A relative was a merchant captain during WWII on a transport ship. He
    had a load of jap prisoners on board. If the story is to believed, they
    all escaped and jumped overboard.

    What an effusive compliment[1]. I'm flattered.

    I was staggered that a pilot, knowing other helicopters were in close
    proximity, would have allowed himself to lose track of their
    whereabouts.
    A low score for a Darwin award, but he surely makes the list.

    [1] for UKRM values of compliment
