"one of Cornwall's motorcycle safety officers, Liz Long, said it was
dreadful that the bikers were celebrating danger"

So she doesn't suck cock or TIUTA then.

I was slicing and dicing the morning traffic from York to Leeds t'other day
and thinking "if someone is filming this it will make national news" yet
many UKRM's do it and in 30 years it's never done me any harm.

Has she looked at all the surfers hanging around Cornwall?  Arguably
more dangerous than riding a bike.

Shame they don't show the clip itself.  The still shown could have
been at any speed.  We all know their ideas of excessive speed are
often a little tame.

ICBA to search utube for it.

"On Sunday more than 100 motorcyclists were on the roads of Devon and
Cornwall to highlight the importance of safety awareness."

What's that about?

Probably someone like the IAM trying to recruit and the police
thinking that the IAM don't do stuff like it either.  They ride just
like anyone else does and go out to have fun on two wheels just like
anyone else.  NSL roads are still regarded as "go like f.ck" but with
the proviso 'go like f.ck if it's safe to do so'.

It was as a result of 12 deaths this year in the Plymouth area. Ironically
there were another two that weekend.

"In the YouTube-posted clip, two bikers weave in and out of other
traffic at high speeds on local roads."

I don't understand what's wrong with that?
