Do we stop or do we go?

Expect everyone you meet to do something stupid,especially on the roads, and you won't go far wrong.

Indeed. Rule #1 of being a motorcyclist tbh.

Nah, that doesn’t sound right

Being on the motorbike is not a pleasant experience anymore, really thinking of quitting to be honest, getting up at 5am due to get some quality road time is becoming a young mans game and i don't fancy moving to Scotland for those perfect 3 sundays of nice weather. (unless Climate change is doing good things up that neck of the woods)

You'd be surprised at the number of people near me who confuse red and green, including the drivers :eek:

You shouldn't have let her cross and were in the wrong to make a gesture to her to do so.

I’ve only been riding 20 years and I’ve given it up just this year. Becoming a father and having several close calls, it was time to stay on 4 wheels.

Need to sell my bike really, just left it in the garage, now the rear caliper is seized and chain and sprocket look awful. Ooops.

The thread title made me think of this.

I recognise some of the locations e.g. Piccadilly Circus comes up a couple of times Big tourist areas with a lot of foreigners around, I'm not saying being a foreigner means they shouldn't understand traffic lights or excuse wandering aimlessly around with their phone out etc but it might explain some of it.

Also at 3:16 I'm not convinced it was correct to pass through that Amber light himself, I think he could have stopped safely.
