  • I’m sorry that happened to someone you knew.

    Thats awful.

    I’ve only done it on a remote road with a huge view, so no chance of another car - but plenty of chance of animals stepping out, or even just losing control due to road surface or wind gusts etc…

    Its a silly thing to do.

    Huge adrenaline rush, but so very silly. These bikes are ridiculously fast.

    It’s not something I plan on doing again.

    Once again, I’m sorry you knew someone who had such an awful end…












  • I don’t understand how its any easier than using 100 and dividing…

    1/2 an hour is 30 min 1/2 an hour if metric used 100 is 50 min

    1/4 an hour is 15 min 1/4 an hour metric is 25 min

    Any lower than that and they both get tricky…

    1/8 an hour is 7.5 min 1/8 an hour metric is 12.5 min

    Getting used to metric time would be an impossible thing to implement worldwide I reckon, but I struggle to understand how its any less simple than the 60 min hour we have and the 24 hour day…




  • People broke into our house while we were upstairs with our 1 week old baby, at 1am. They took our keys and our car. We have 4 kids. No way to get them to school or me to work.

    Turned out they were aged between 15 and 17 and got a slap on the wrist. We got an insurance payout and a different car.

    Ridiculous.
