That video is a f***ing scary 30 secs - glad he’s alive, but he’s not helping himself...
It’s easy to forget how fast stuff goes wrong when you’re travelling at speed, in any type of vehicle.

I was a courier for years starting with Direct Despatch and moving on to Pony Express around 1990.
Funnily enough I had an accident across the road from The Solid while filtering between cars, someone parked up opened the passenger door.

Apollo , blue jacket , blue bag , yellow writing .. . CB400/4..killed ... then a CB650 . Then I got a place on a ice class trawler as engineer, with them offering to pay for the rest of my studies ... and my despatch career was over . It was one wet job that in Scotland , I reckon I was borderline hypothermia more than once on long runs lolNictrix wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2018 11:11 pmWho did you work for in Glasgow?Ethicsgradient wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2018 10:50 pmoof thats a bad one , I keep the lairy bike riding to the track or strip .

I hit a pedestrian @14.6 mph (push bike admittedly) just before Christmas and that hurt enough...
130+ before impact, I'm surprised the police didn't take his license away/lock him up at that speed though...
