Kerny92 1,246 Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Got to be one of the most dangerous sports out there, they all know the risks when they put on that helmet. They deserve all the respect in the world, it's what legends are made of. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I nearly took out a motorbike a couple of hours ago when I was turning at a junction coming from a bog with a trailer load of turf. This guy was doing over 100mph. They must be all out giving it loads in his honour. FairPlay to them but I think the trailer would of came out of that predicament in better shape than him. There is a big difference between racing on a track and doing 200mph on an 8 foot wide country road with stone walls on either side. If you fall off bike your dead.
