Get on the race track lads, at least everyone will be going the same way.

I genuinely assumed any road that had pass at the end was a single-track nightmare of uphill hairpins. Edit, the Peaky Bilker recently went to Ironbridge for that world famous shop lol. It took a while to click.

Ours Passes are quite relaxed compared to those I'm used to in Italy. The Italian ones that are pretty extreme. I guess it's like our wildlife... Not really that wild! 🙊🐭

Some seriously bad road positioning at 1:00 risking a decapitation or a head on collision riding on/over the double white lines in the middle of the road. Totally the wrong line through the bend. Can't he lean a motorcycle? Continues throughout the video. All that is needed is for a bus, coach of HGV coming around the bend to be close to the central double white line or stray over and you are history or indeed another biker doing the same and you have a fatal collision between two bikers which I saw on a YT of two bikers colliding just like this riding over the mountain road on the Isle of Man. Sorry because of this couldn't watch your video all the way through.

Fair play… We are not always in control of other riders in the group!! Didn’t see the double white you mentioned at 1 minute!! Think it was a single white for the oncoming! I’ll look again..Great place though.. Think I preferred the Cat and Fiddle despite the 50mph average speed cameras!!

@@TheBucksBiker-lh2nm 1:00 Definitely riding over double whites in the death zone. Indicates to me that the guy in front of you is either a noobie or has just have never learned to ride a bike properly or safely. And you yourself are pretty close. On a right hand bend you stay left or at least left of centre of the lane and lean the bike to get it to turn, shift your weight on the bike to the right side to help it turn and do some counter steering, even just move your torso to the right side towards the right bar if nothing else to get the bike to turn, but the line this guy in front of you has chosen is just crazy because he doesn't know how to ride a bike. He clearly hasn't shifted any of his weight, still sat bolt up right with arms dead straight on the bars. Not good. Car comes around bend at 1:02 sees your mate and you, and fortunately takes immediate evasive action by moving immediately to their nearside, he is driving on his nearside white line to avoid a potential collision. This sort of riding is going to get your mate or you killed. If a big truck, bus or coach, motorhome or even a car driver not paying attention travelling too fast had come around around that bend towards you and strayed towards or over the double whites, then your mate and you would have potentially been struck. Game over. You should position your bike much more to the left firstly so you can see around the bend but also keeping you away from oncoming traffic. The previous single solid white on your side with broken on the other oncoming lane told you hazard/danger, do not cross, no over taking. So why would you ride pretty much on solid single or double white lines or very close to them? I'm just concerned for yours and this biker's safety and indeed other road users if you guys normally ride like this. The rest of the video is similar so you may well do. The reason I couldn't watch it. I've not noticed it before on your videos, but then most of your videos I've seen of you are you riding solo so maybe riding in a group encourages this type of not so good riding. Must go fast and keep up at any cost, the red mist comes down and sensible riding, road positioning goes out the window which is when accidents happen. You can ride fast(er) and still be safe. Just really concerned what I have seen. Stay left on right hand bends. Lean to the middle of the lane not over central white lines. Don't put yourself in danger zones. Same again at 1:38 - 1:41 going though the road works, riding pretty much over the double white lines, you were both very close to an oncoming red Astra albeit waiting at the other end of the road works, but you had the whole of your lane must be 2m to your left clear you could have been riding in. You were riding right over the central double white lines. Do you guys want to get killed? I watched a little more skipping through your video but the riding was much the same, didn't improve. In the end I thought I can't watch this bad riding. Sorry, but as you know we bikers are extremely vulnerable on the roads, but the riding I saw on your video did not make me feel you guys were safe riders. As I say I saw a shocking video of bikers riding just like this over the mountain on the Isle of Man, except two bikers died as a biker came from the opposite direction, strayed wide towards the central white lines and hit the oncoming biker riding just like your mate in front. Two dead bikers. I think the impact speed must have been 160+mph. The mountain road on the Isle of Man was fully open that day ie two way traffic. Two lives wiped out in a fraction of a second. The footage was shot by a following biker, German I think. Your mate or indeed you won't like to hear this, but he needs to get some proper bike riding lessons. It might save his life one day.
