Looks like a nasty junction too.

I know it says at the end of the BBC video that Cheshire Police are investigating the incident.

Here is the full length video that shows way more than the BBC one in terms of him riding like a bell end

He did have a video on his YouTube channel showing him doing 120 mph which has been deleted this evening!!

Why would anyone in their right mind post this for all to see when clearly he has been a complete
Interesting. When I saw the short video I just thought what a knob. Clearly could have got round the corner. On this longer video he actually seems to ride OK until the overtakes of the two bikes. Decent lines. I think this comes under the heading that his bike was in a place which his brain hadn't yet reached. Never a good combination.

Ugly but good looking brute :-)

Still hoping to get a KTM950SM in the near future, although there are a few other contenders too. I saw a group of power rangers on their bikes yesterday evening and felt incredibly envious...got to get back to biking...

Sorry to hear about this, that's a pretty brutal experience for anyone.

Love the Ducati Diavel, trying to stay away from Ducati Dealerships for now! I have a 2010 KTM SMT 990, Akra's, k&n and a remap. It puts a smile on my face!
