About 20 years ago, I thought it would be cool to do this in real time with police radar. You get a radar signal off your detector, but it's coming from a lamp post, keep speeding. If it's coming from that bush a 1/2 mile down, beside the road, slow down.

Sometimes unanticipated consequences can be fun.
And those censorship bars are often a complete joke, it's like watching a penis the size of nuclear submarine trying to hide behind a lamp post. Which I of course, totally approve of.

I didn't see one... but there was a lamp post which looked quite a lot like a man just as the bridge was breaking up.

Saudi Arabia is a crazy place, this is what people do when they can't get drunk.

What is making the lamp posts warp like they do near the end of the video??

Lamp Posts You!

Surprisingly stout lamp post say "yes".

"I saw the whole thing, officer. That lamp post darted right in front of him."

He was the shit, most Brits agree if they're over 40!

Two words: pack mule.

Dropping us at mancare seems more humane than chaining us to a lamp post.>> ^messenger:

What's the difference between this and the guy staying home and paying X-box and watching TV?

I don't think Empire is concerned about getting lessons. I think what Empire is talking about here is that going "100+" on back roads isn't safe for OTHER people. I don't think anybody particularly cares whether or not it's safe for the rider. His life is in his own hands. But what if that was a little kid running out into the road and getting sliced like that?
I know, I know, "LOL!, but little kids don't run as fast as deer!!1 elevensy!!11". That's not the point.


No, you've missed the point as well...

If there are kids around, you have to take that into account when you ride. Anything that you hit as a motorcyclist could have you off and/or kill you - children, deer, lamp posts - so it's not just the other thing that will get hurt, but you as well. I don't want to crash and kill myself any more than I want to hit and kill something else.

To make my point clear: if the posted limit is 30mph and it's outside a school when the young kids come out, driving at 30mph is way too fast. It's unsafe, even though that's the posted limit.

The same road at 2am on a weekend with nobody around could be safe for 60mph. That's safe, even though it's over the limit.

So as I said up there, speed is not conducive to safety, which is a point that many people (and a few on here it seems) completely fail to grasp.

There's gotta be a story behind this, anyone? anyone? Bueller? anyone?

I swear officer, the phone booth and lamp post came barreling down the street towards me. I tried to maneuver away but it was too late!

Kit cars love lamp posts for some reason...
