Think Bike : Think Biker " Named Riders "

[gingermonkeykid]

Car drivers are just too lazy to always check their mirrors and over their shoulder, even SOMETIMES when I drive I don't (I know I should. I do 99% of the time). I think they feel there is a small chance there is a biker there so 'why bother'? This is wrong and I hope good videos/adverts like this will change this.

billytsoul1 = asshole

[mightlife]

Check billytsoul1's channel! haha

The only video displayed is his only favourite - "How I Cound (sic) Just Kill a Man" by Cypress Hill.

From the Grand Theft Auto soundtrack - haha, knob.

[pympster]

@billytsoul1 Um, according to statsitcs published be the Department of Transport, in accidents involving a motorcycle and another vehicle 56.9% of the time the Driver was at fault, compared to 21.9% the rider's fault. Maybe you should actually try riding a bike in London or getting your facts straight. Its not our fault that we can filter through traffic while car drivers are stuck behind.

[billytsoul1]

@pympster How much of that is down to the driver being attuned to reacting to other cars/vehicles which move at a lesser/ more uniform speed?Are you saying all these bikes get hit while filtering through slow traffic?and if so, are they riding to the conditions?? What would you say to limiting every vehicle, car or bike, to 90mph top speed??You're not allowed to do that, so why be capable of exceeding it??

[billytsoul1]

Respond to this video... ..........since of course section 88 of the HC states on motorcyclists..."when in traffic queues look out for pedestrians between vehicles and vehicles emerging from junctions and changing lanes.Additionally, when filtering in slow moving traffic,take care and keep speed low".

@billytsoul1

unbelievable...obviously coming from someone who hasn't got the balls to ride on two wheels and prefers to be all safe and secure talking on his mobile phone/eating/drinking/smoking/­jerking himself off whilst in his gas guzzling, planet killing box of metal! Grow up you imbecile!

[billytsoul1]

@fizgig1974 "Hasn't got the balls"...."prefers to be all safe and secure"....so I take it you are promoting the mentality that riding a bike in an unsafe and insecure way makes you more of a man.....the best argument for my point so far!!! w***ker.

[fizgig1974]

@billytsoul1 all the riders i know ride in a safe manner. The accidents and deaths that have occured of people i know and hold dear have,in the majority,been because of car drivers not looking or being ignorant. Car drivers need to be taught from the start that it's not just about them when they're on the roads..FYI, i'm a female rider, in no way do i promote riding in an unsafe and insecure way...stop being such a grumpy old fart

[canislupus1973]

@billytsoul1

Oh dear mate, yer Audi TT gone and spat its pod out again? Its dumbass cagers like you that make ads like these necessary in the first place. Most riders and bikers are also car/van/HGV drivers, and have far more roadcraft than some youtube wannabe who's probably lost his licence at least once for being plain cager and treating the roads like Silverstone-by the way, Carl Foggarty is far more appropriate for a british audience yeah?

[billytsoul1]

@canislupus1973 Just FYI, I drive a Clio...just the bog standard 1.2 car. the second I have had..never owned a car above 1.6..I admit I have 3 points on my licence, 36 in a 30...never been in an accident, my fault or otherwise, and I'm 51 yrs old.. eyesights good, can see the speedo in my car, and I can see the bikes that rush up behind , and disappear into the distance while I attempt to avoid 6!! Oh, and I mostly ferry my kids about..and they are all fine thanks..and its Fogarty...one g.

[billytsoul1]

Respond to this video... What would you say to a sister TV advert that went....."hey, you want to ride like this ( show speeding bike)...think of PAUL"...the traffic cop who has to tell your wife and kids?

[pympster]

@billytsoul1 The statistics show due to driver error NOT excess speed. I'm sorry you have a skewed opinion of motorcyclists in general but I think the statistics as well as everyone else on here is 100% conclusive in showing how much of a douche you are.

[Lupo1ce]

@billytsoul1 What a cunt.

[Cbr0Rider]

@billytsoul1 I really want to hurt you. Ignorant cunt.

[gingermonkeykid]

@billytsoul1 Typical cunt

[schnitzelferk]

Being hit myself by a car swerving not just into me, but into the wrong side of the road from not checking mirrors and wanting to cut a corner, I can tell you now a lot of car drivers skip basic highway code mirror signal manouvers. Bikers can be twats yes, but generally most bikers a lot more observant on roads-we have to be to stay on our vehicles, because no one else is looking out for us

[billytsoul1]

@schnitzelferk "hit myself by a car swerving not just into me, but into the wrong side of the road from not checking mirrors and wanting to cut a corner"....so if he needed mirrors to see you ,you must have been travelling the same way as him...and if he hit you in the 'wrong' side of the road you must have been there as well (attempting to overtake)....just think, if you had just slowed down and stayed behind him...no-one would have got hit!!!....of course it was obviously all his fault

[pympster]

@billytsoul1 Its called filtering, its refereed to in the road craft book and is entirely legal. The car driver is completely at fault for not checking his mirrors or indicating. While filtering the safest place to be is further out on the other side of the road to make improve your visibility and to make you more visible. Cars which are stuck in traffic assume there won't be a motorcyclist or a cyclist coming up the inside and will just move out without checking.As you said, car driver's fault.

[Lupo1ce]

sorry i cant see what the song is..

I love this ad, unlike most 'look again' ads, this one actually makes you feel good about motorcycles and their riders, it really makes me want to try a little harder to spot my two wheeled brothers and sisters and do my part to make sure they get where they are going safetly.

[insanebeard]

awww why didnt he say danny :(

[Lupo1ce]

I like penis.

[JDWDMC]

Wouldn't work in New Zealand. The number of drivers who knowingly pull stunts like those demonstrated is phenomenal.

[renegadebiker24]

This is a great advertisement pympster. I only wish this kind of advertisement was here in the USA. Maybe I can change that. I have noticed that when I ride, I see people texting while driving and talking on their cell phone while lane drifting, or slow, then fast inattentive driving as I travel the roads here in Arkansas.  For me, most all "cagers" on Arkansas roads are Anti-bike riders.

[wm1108]

i love this add the day after i got my new bike i saw it and it said think bike and rember loads of names and he said my name how werd lol

what is this song called

[modd1uk]

Cheers for trying to make drivers more aware guys :).

[advancedbiker]

Where are the riders hi viz jackets........Better not tell the Police  or they will stop them

[egostang]

I wish the US had this kind of campaign for motorcyclists. Sadly we do not.

[ktotheatothete]

i THINK that this advert is a very good idea. see what i did there, haha ;D

[EvilEwokUK]

I've been knocked off my bike twice, both time the car drivers fault and the first words out of both of the drivers mouth... 'Sorry I didn't see you!!...

Don't always blame the rider...

Cracking ad and a very catchy tune!...

[AngryAnt0]

Exactly, can't echo you enough.

I've been involed in two near crashes (thankfully no actual crashes yet), and both have been caused by a truck steaming out of a junction at a roundabout and not looking.

Sure, we don't claim to be perfect, but more times than not, its not the bikers fault... Remember if you get hit, the chances are the car driver will survive, but will the biker?

Hopefully this ad will make people think alot more.

[kad34in]

Great advert, My names Tom as well!! Riding a Yamaha TW125

[dank57]

right here goes.......this paints a perfect picture of bike riders and they are quite clearly not! they take stupid risks and ride dangerously and act like fools on motorways undertaking etc. stop being stupid on roads and start acting properly and less of you will be in accidents! in the words of a famous merecat.....SIMPLES!

[vanvandamsel]

@dank57 i agree some riders do take risks and ride like idiots i have seen it myself!...but the majority of us are careful, we have to be cos cars never seem to see us...admit it, when your driving which bike do you see? the law abiding rider who sticks to the limit and rides properly? or the idiot who just under took you?....

[vanvandamsel]

i like this add...my name is jackie 125 vanvan :-)
