Moscow seems a lot nicer these days since it changed from "Black & White" to colour.
And I'm looking forward to Normandy, can't wait to see Ron's extreme filtering around the Bayeux ring road

ron while you were there did you not try and get the russian government to release some of their brand new M20s or some of their stock of spares they still have WW2 T34s in supply depots
Anyone who rides with virtually no margin of safety obviously doesn't value their own life..or is suffering from the delusion that 'it won't happen to me'.
I'm sure there are many other similar people currently residing in pine boxes around the globe.
I was 17 the first time I met one of these..he didn't see 18. I remember the night well and it wasn't pretty. ...Ian
None of them are dead to start off with...but they are pretty likely to have a bad day at some point and some unfortunate will have to collect the body parts...
Others will inevitably regard them as 'heroes' as well and attempt to emulate their antics.
I can't really see the merit in riding to the extreme limits in an unsuitable environment. Ultimately your life is your own..but you shouldn't really put others at risk and the politicians just love this stuff to help them justify draconian anti motorcycle laws.
But hey...they're only having fun...

A LOT of damage to that door

Having been known to ride a CBR 600 & then Fireblades, I was a little bit of a hooligan once. The roads in the UK are so full of bad drivers now and they are so busy, you just can't ride like that and get home in one bit, I've noticed it over the last 10 years. I went out for a ride on my Speed Triple on Sunday, spanked the a=== off it but always left margins of safety, even with full beam on people pull out on you as 3 people did. Its mainly because and this is proven, that "Joe average" driver's brain can't compute small objects travelling fast and therefore gets the distance thing all wrong, hence the driver favorite one liner "Sorry mate I didn't see you".
