Bikes are awesome! - General

Hey guys, Just got a new GoPro Hero 3+: Black Edition to record some of my trips! (First two videos are recorded with a Hero 3: Silver Edition though) For now there are only 3 videos on my channel but I hope you'll like them. By the way in the first one I almost crash lol I'm also thinking to start some gaming vids too, but still working on that. [video=youtube;VTBKjdHoBQ8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTBKjdHoBQ8[/video] [video=youtube;Mmp6oEduvHc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mmp6oEduvHc[/video] [video=youtube;bsPtEefYsoU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsPtEefYsoU[/video] Cheers!

Hope you get your license taken away, dumb irresponsible driving. Hate people who do shit like that.

Yeah no shit you're gonna crash if you're overtaking people in a one way street.

I barely watched more than half of the first video, before i stopped, to easily establish this much: You're a fucking idiot.

Hate people who do shit like that.[/QUOTE] As someone who has a car and bike license I can say only this: In most countries it is not illegal to do most of this, there are rules in place that allow for lane splitting and the like. As someone who drives a car, I know how annoying it can be, but as someone who rides a bike, you'd do that to within reason. Dumb and Irresponsible? Not really, not like you're doing 100km/h alongside a car. It's annoying, but everyone on the road needs to watch around themselves. Especially if not illegal PS: It looks a lot faster than it is :P

Nice job in that first video, it was your fault if you killed yourself there. You are on the inside of a left turn, but you want to go right. Good job. You fucked up by being in the wrong 'lane'. And you had the audacity to flip someone off who almost got a fucking heart attack because suddenly he sees an idiot on a bike appearing out of nowhere. Since you were behind another vehicle he couldn't see you coming.

You need to understand, that potentially [I]everyone[/I] in the traffic, bike or car, is an idiot. That anyone is prone to do stupid maneuvers, or even mistakes as turning the wrong way.

Only because I went 120km/h on a straight (almost empty) road and I overtook some cars (legally) I'm an idiot that should get my license taken away? Seriously? While there are videos around Youtube of people doing 400km/h on urban streets and running for kilometers on one wheel without helmet? Cool. And it's my own problem if i'm being crazy on the street, no need to insult me, but I never overspeed when it's stupid to do so, but on a bike you do that stuff alot, overtaking etc. It's life, if I'll die atleast I'll die happily lol, I had a bad incident on december because a dude came out of the parking lot without looking and I went against him (I broke my ankle), but I was going 45km/h and it was his fault. When Bikers crash it's usually because a car went against them or because they were going really fast (but they crash on their own and die, unfortunately that's the truth.) Thanks VladSnakeDrag for your comment, atleast you understood me lol. (I expected these kind of comments by the way, but you guys need to seriously calm down). I drive a car too.

There were no lanes, that was a one way road. I had the right to overtake because he shouldn't have turned there, got that told from cop, sorry mate. And I wasn't behind another vehicle, I started overtaking alot of time before he started to turn, he should've watched his left mirror before turning.

[QUOTE=portaro;44599315]And it's my own problem if i'm being crazy on the street[/QUOTE] yeah because fuck everyone else right?

[QUOTE=Tetsmega;44599132]Yeah no shit you're gonna crash if you're overtaking people in a one way street.[/QUOTE] Don't know the law in your country but here in Italy it's perfectly fine (and even better) to overtake in one way streets. [editline]20th April 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Bora;44599367]yeah because fuck everyone else right?[/QUOTE] I didn't mean that. I perfectly know that my driving isn't always legal, but that's the cops job not yours. I never do crazy stuff if I think that it could hurt me or another person on the road. But one day I might get an incorrect assessment and it will be my fault, that could happen, but I always lookout before deciding to overtake or overspeed.

What if a kid stepped onto the ("empty") road and you couldn't swerve because you were doing 60mph in a tiny street or you fucked up and bailed because of a pothole you didn't see and your heavy bike slides into an innocent pedestrian? Do everyone a favor and walk.

[editline]20th April 2014[/editline] I didn't mean that lolz.[/QUOTE] People would take your arguments in a better light if you didn't end everything with "lol" or "lolz".

[QUOTE=portaro;44599315]And it's my own problem if i'm being crazy on the street.[/QUOTE] So apparently I can drive around like a GTA protag and hit anyone because it's their problem if they get hit :downs:

You are the reason drivers hate motorcyclists.

[QUOTE=portaro;44599419]That could happen, but that's the reason because you need to have 100% (10/10) visual capacity to get a license![/QUOTE] what about mental capacity? (because it seems like you dont have any)

[QUOTE=Bora;44599482]what about mental capacity? (because it seems like you dont any)[/QUOTE] Really? With your comment you just showed that you're the one with no mental capacity. Please if you have to, comment with serious and sensed stuff, not with insults (what dumb people commonly do).

There's enough space for 2 cars in that road, and no signs for forbidden entry either. There's just some cars parked on the intersection that make it hard to see.

[QUOTE=portaro;44599500]Really? With your comment you just showed that you're the one with no mental capacity.

If you dont care if you get hurt that's fine. But what you have to realize is that other people can get hurt as well. If you'd like to drive like a maniac go to a dirt-track or similar where you can do all the stuff you want to do without ending up possibly injuring others. But you just seem to have this "YOLO" mindset and just act like a complete prick about your biking and if anything goes wrong it's someone elses fault.

There is a forbidden entry sign now.

You were driving relatively fast in a one-way street , and overtook two [I]near-stalling[/I] cars at an intersection. The speed difference made the situation all the more dangerous. While that may not be illegal, and while the turning car is also at wrong (not only for the late turn light, but also for not hugging the left corner of the road as you should in one way turns), it is definitely dangerous even for the scenarios you could've expected (like the turning car - come on, it's an intersection), let alone the scenarios you can't expect (child skipping the crosswalk from right to left - who would've been hidden by the car).

You do things just "because it's legal!!!", even when you are clearly endangering others. Just because Italy is shit, you don't have to be yet another completely shitty italian, no matter how comfortable this situation is for everyone

You should really check out Youtube for bike videos, there are way worst videos than mine (people cutting roundabouts, doing wheelies all the time without helmets, seriously c'mon.). I'm not saying I'm a good legal driver but this is just too much imo. Just stop continuously saying that I can get other people hurt etc. I know that I can get other people hurt as well. I always think twice before overspeeding or overtaking, but anyways other than pedos and other bikes the only guy that would get hurt would be me. There are also bad car drivers you know, people throwing papers and spitting at me for no reason ([url]https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/t31.0-8/10256589_10203867630080494_7889299817695187814_o.jpg[/url]), and yeah I would link you the video of my crash If i had a GoPro with me by that time. We are all humans and we all do errors. Thanks for your comments anyways, I am sure (if I will still be alive, since I am such a "terrible rider" as you guys say) that I will ride in a more safer manner when I'll be older. But almost every biker with a supermoto or a street bike does stupid stuff once in a while. It's bikes.

But Italy is a wonderful place. Stop it with random insults, won't make you a better person or the "good guy", and nobody will give you a trophy for commenting "you are a bad guy gtfo from the streets", as if I didn't already know that.

I posted a video and people commented on it negatively how dare they

[QUOTE=portaro;44599315]Only because I went 120km/h on a straight (almost empty) road and I overtook some cars (legally) I'm an idiot that should get my license taken away?[/QUOTE] Uh, yes?

Thanks for upping my thread guys, love you all so much.

Oh man, you were so lucky to avoid that [b]fatal[/b] crash in that first video. You could have toppled off of your bike.

[QUOTE=mak13two;44599850]Oh man, you were so lucky to avoid that [b]fatal[/b] crash in that first video. You could have toppled off of your bike.[/QUOTE] You car drivers are so hilarious.

Just because you have the legal right to lane split in your country, doesn't mean you should do it at that speed on a street that narrow. I mean fuck man, don't be so irresponsible. The fact that you almost caused an accident was ENTIRELY your fault and I can't believe you had the audacity to flip that dude off. Do everyone a favor and slow the fuck down.

[QUOTE=portaro;44598744] [video=youtube;Mmp6oEduvHc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mmp6oEduvHc[/video] [/QUOTE] I'm not familiar with Italian law, but aren't you supposed to overtake people on the left, not the right? And is that a narrow European street at 4:10? Or were you driving the wrong way down a one way?
