What a cock, I love his comment at the end, sums up his riding really.

^There was no way I was going to stop" ..... well actually that was proved to be wrong ..... needed the additional words "in time"

Please get that idiot off the road

He can count himself lucky not to have gone under one of those trucks.

People will look and say 'oh typical another idiot on a bike' but truth is this guy would be a danger to himself and everyone else in a Little Tykes cozy coupe.

to be fair I filter worse than he does BUT even I would have hoped to see that one coming

Oh come on. You can see the trucks side by side about seven seconds before he even realises. everyone on the planet knows it takes about 10 years for a lorry overtaking a lorry to complete his maneuver.

Just a case of filtering like an idiot and terrible observations.

That's not filtering. That's riding like a prick. Karma is a bitch. Instant Karma is the bitches evil sister!

That made me cringe, especially when the lorry moved off. I think for a second he was near one of the rear wheels?
One lucky lad.

What a pillock for posting the clip so we can all scoff at him - shows he learned nothing!

I can only assume he's so far out of touch with reality that he can only think that he did nothing wrong and is some sort of hero for avoiding a complete catastrophe.

Clip states 'inexperienced' does any know if its a Bandit 600 or (godforbid) 1200?

I note in the very bottom left hand corner of the vid the rider seems to fiddle with something just before realising he's 'shit' it.

This is what gives us all a bad name.

yeah, seems like he is opening his lid or something.

i think its a 600, i'm sure the 1200's have 1200 written underneath bandit s on the fairing.

I have replayed this 3 times now, so, how did he not see this about to happen ?
Car and lorry both with hazard lights on, stationary, if he had not noticed both lorries were not moving, then I reckon he had maybe 2 or 3 seconds after undertaking the silver motor,to take evasive action, like take the inside line, grass verge
Complete failure to read the situation
Just watched it again, the situation was in clear view for a little over 7 seconds, give the fool time to be well clear of the car he undertook still gives him a good 5 seconds to react

..... and ..... what on earth is he doing undertaking in any case. Not only illegal but also very dangerous - it's unexpected and an unobservant (read the majority of) driver may well just cut back into the inside lane.

And as you say, how on earth didn't he see and react to the lorries?

He was being unobservant and in a world of his own. Just re-enforces how you should read the road as far ahead as possible and pay attention...

Got a camera on, so trying to be a hero.
