He wants banning asap,can't ride to save his life IMO

We all can't afford track days but that's taking the mick

Overtaking on blind bends,opposite lane just makes me cringe

It was quite distressing. I also get the feeling he'd be on his arse if it wasn't for the electronics of the beemer.

If you can afford an s1000rr then you can afford to spend half that on a different bike instead and then use the remaining cash you've just saved on track days!

Well it won't be long before this guy is either dead or banged up. He can ride, shame he has to prove it on the public roads..

Ah, the old "Ride like it's a track day and hope other road users stay out of my way" concept.

Knew a few people who thought this was an acceptable idea. None of them are with us anymore.

This particular throbber is going to cause a multi fatality crash and some poor copper is going to have to break the bad news to at least 2 families.

I thought I'd try out a gimbal on my bike:

Great concept, a little cumbersome with some interesting bugs lol.

Captain · 29 Oct 2015 at 14:23

Looks like a right pain in the arse lol..

Quite a lot to pay for something that doesn't seem to work quite right!

Kreeeee · 29 Oct 2015 at 14:46

Luckily I didn't pay for it.

The view is nice but it's a massive pain. It will be great for off the bike filming though.

Probably just getting used to moving around on the bike/aiming to get knee down one day, or just to build on what they were taught :confused:

All the gimbal videos I've watched never vibrated as much, maybe its faulty?

I learned how to corner first without sliding across the saddle sticking my leg out, I moved my upper body into the corner with the bike. Once I was confident and started to corner at higher speeds I started to slowly position my body, but without sticking my knee out.

But come on, on those turns?!

Then on the tighter ones he doesn't lean off :confused:

I love gizmags reviews

"Buzzing harder than the 2nd drawer in your mum's dresser" :eek:

He's great. I've arranged with the main dude from Gizmag to come and stay with me in Switzerland next year as it happens

The_Abyss · 6 Nov 2015 at 19:57

Pretty accurate review too based on my experience of it so far. Amazing bike.
