The YouTube thread of Ultimate Win! - The Bear and Badger

Pre-warning (assuming it hasn't been posted before): Some may not like this video because, as revealed at the end, the dog suffers a mild brain disorder, but it's clear from this video and their subseqent effort (to the tune of 'The Wild Rover') that they care for their animals, and the point of the video isn't to simply laugh at the dog's misfortune.Â I thought it was a heartwarming vid, but apologise if anyone does not.Â

Well, quite. Â Ask most cops and you'll find the only thing that bugs them is these admittedly talented but moronic, selfish cunts doing this shit on public roads. Â Wearing a helmet but fuck all else to protect you is always exasperating to see.

The safety gear doesn't bother me in all honesty. Â Unless they had a kid on the back with shorts and t-shirt or something like that. Â With the exception of the folk that have to perform the skin grafts afterwards, for the most part the only person losing out is the tit without the safety gear.

The fucking about on public roads does annoy me though. Â You're now endangering other people for your own amusement. Â There's no excuse really.

If you come of your bike without specialist clothing, skin-grafts are the very least you can hope to get away with. Â Thereafter your friends and family have to deal with you in one of various states between struggling to come to terms with your own disfigurement through needing a carer up to being in a wooden box.

I'm not saying nobody should take part in activities that have a risk of injury or death, just eliminate the easy-to-address dangers.

I don't disagree, even if your picture is a bit bleak (not everyone who falls off a bike without gear will require a skin graft or more). Â

I don't wear jeans when I'm out on my bike but I don't feel like I'm in any position to be telling others that they can't if they choose to.

There's also any hapless motorist who ends up in an altercation (through no fault of their own) with an insufficiently protected and foolhardy (motor)cyclist who ends up dead or seriously damaged.Â They then have the trauma of reliving the horrible nightmare and dealing with the inevitable inquests and whatnot, all because of somebody else's selfish recklessness.

Reckless road user can cause misery non-shocker.

I ride a bike, and the regularity with which I'm cut up, tail gated, harassed or intimidated by car and van drivers makes it a feature of practically every ride.

You don't need to have a collision to make misery.

igorgetmeabrain

Well, obviously.

Swings and roundabouts.

I drive a swing, where I'm regularly cut up, tail gated harassed or intimidated by people on roundabouts.

Mod74

You must be easily spooked if the safety of a steel cage, airbags and 4 wheels on the ground wasn't security enough.

*Nods in agreement
Constantly told to watch out for motorcyclists, yet I have yet to see one that takes their own safety seriously rather than expect me to do it for them.

Matt_82

That simply can't be true.

I drive a Fisher Price red and yellow car and my mum says I am a wonderful driver.

Having been involved in a collision with a cyclist a few months ago (for which I was entirely blameless), I can assure you that it's still a pretty fucking awful outcome for everyone involved, including the driver.

Stopharage

Possibly the worst thing I've ever seen. Worse than Pranky's darkest wet dreams.

igorgetmeabrain

Why are you inflicting it on this thread then? (I have no intention of watching it btw).

I only said I thought it was the worst thing I've ever seen. You'd probably love it.Â

Give it a watch then you can really get sanctimonious.

Kow

Yeah, it is shit. Unless it changes dramatically after the first 15 seconds.

He actually gets his head ripped off by a bear at 1:30.

A little hyperbole by Sas, maybe, but the number of motorcyclists who ride dangerously seriously outweighs those who ride responsibly. Â Mod's flippant remark about being in a steel cage ignores the fact that nobody wants to be in an accident that could cause death, so having a motorcyclist riding a foot from your rear offside cornerÂ isÂ unnerving. Â More so when you've been watching him in your mirror and you've seen the way he suddenly swoops in and out in front of cars. Â Motorcyclists seem to love that spot near your car, probably because it's so near to your blind spot, and they just revel in riding in your blind spot, especially on approach to junctions.

As for that age old thing of cars not seeing motorbikes when they pull out of junctions, it's often because when the driver looked, the motorbike wasn't there, but was making their way as fast as possible.

I commute 60 miles a day down A-roads and motorway (M40) - it's been my experience that bikers are for the vast majority extremely cautious these days.Â
Maybe that's just the stretches I'm on at the times I'm on it (commuting bikers?), there doesn't tend to be many sunday riders on sports bikes razzing it at silly speeds, just guys getting around, driving sensibly and leaving loads of space, indicating properly and generally driving well so that they don't die in a horrible mess on the M40.

It's the Audi and Jag drivers that are the biggest twats on the roads round here - audis for the younger "I've bought an expensive fast car so I own the road and fuck you all get out of my way" generation of cunts, Jags for the older generation of "I'm older and I've bought an expensive car so I'll roll along at whatever speed I like and change lanes without indicating because fuck you you pauper you need to watch where I'm going and get the fuck out of my way because I'm so much more important than you as evidenced by my expensive car".

People shitting their pants when they see a motorcyclist in their mirrors is what causes accidents. If they continued to drive normally there'd be a lot less.

My heart sinks when I realise I've got a panicker in front, the desire to get them behind you and out of your way and whatever panic move they might (and often do) pull is why they get over taken sooner rather than later.

Ah yes, all those accidents where people crash in front of motorbikes, I know them well.

What you think is panicking is probably the person trying to get you out of their blinds pot do they can manoeuvre without worrying that you'll suddenly be riding into their offside.

Howdy, Stranger!
