Yes, but when did he get a daughter? After he met that lass in First Blood Part II she popped her cloggs before she spat out any sprogs… and Rambo III don’t remember him nobbing any lasses when he was getting the Colonel back from the Russians…
Bikes are only dangerous because of every other bugger on the road 😛 I can see why he would blink his lights, sometimes people don’t see you coming – if you don’t have the right gear/power to overtake then shouldn’t be overtaking hehe, but I guess you would have got past the lot eventually 🙂 Sure riding like a crazy fool would mean instant death on the bike should an accident occur, but being seen and heard greatly reduces the chance of the accident occuring to start with. I’ll die on my bike, not because I have to, but because I choose to. I don’t want to be 70 year old with no teeth and barely able to walk eating food through a straw and not had sex in 20 years because of a limp dick!! Even at speeds when I pull out I do my checks and every bend I check my mirrors and rarely ever fail to indicate. The amount of tossers doing 30mph whonever check their mirrors, never indicate, drive around roundabouts on their mobiles etc… there should be a mandatory annual retest =/
EDIT: (to avoid double posting)
I just got back from town … out of the 4 CCTV cameras on the street which is only about 300 – 400 metres long at most, not one of them saw the collision… wtf….
I’m tempted to try, but the ‘please click HERE’ link in that post seems to be broken 😥
EDIT: Sod it, saw it on Steam anyway so will just dl it there..

Glad you’re alright but it doesn’t suprise me you’ve had a crash as you’ve said lots of times stuff along the lines of ‘Why is it that I can do 90mph in a 1.5 metre gap between lanes in heavily jammed traffic vs lorries and buses and shit and every vehicle pulls aside out of fear’
You really don’t strike me as a good rider. I’d quit the bikes and here’s hoping you don’t speed in your car.
As the bike is almost 1.4 metres wide that gives 5cm clearance either side, @ 90mph I’d have to be a good rider 😛 Seriosuly it’s safer to ride like a bastard than to ride text book, but also note I had my crashes riding text book and each time it was the other guy’s fault. Ride like a lunatic = no crashes, follow my teachings (police bike insructers/regional commanders..) and you get hit by dozy people. No one can say they never heard something coming in low gear and high rpm whailing like a banshee and for the people that actually bother to use their mirrors they move out of the way. Those that don’t, have enough power/weight ratio to piss all over them anyway – 500bhp/tonne. I was trained to IAM standards by the people who wrote the book – seriosuly it’s not me in the wrong, it’s every bugger else and the incident reports prove it!!
I’m 23 ya bugger! How old do I have to be to get £100 a year fully comp and how many teeth have to be false to qualify? Besides, it will still be high even if I tooka break for a few years hehe as you have to have a few years continuos no claims to get a spangly discount. Even though I’ve had a few crashes, each time they’ve been classed as ‘no fault’ at my end, so I haven’t lost nay NCB. Even better, although I’m being shafted price wise, every 8-9months with my new company I get 1 years NCB, so in 2 years with them I get 3 years NCB for the money. I’ve got 6 months with them now… by Feb I should have become eligible for an early 1 year NCB hehe so I’ll have a total of 2 years NCB 8)
The problem is m8 even with buying a cheap piece of shit bike, fully comp is still £1-£2k either way, being unemployed on top ain’t helping but even if I wasn’t £2k is a lot of money and with my luck I won’t crash and it’s £2k in a hole – atleast with only £800 in a hole and it being the other guy’s fault, I still meet the legal requirement and his ass will have to cough up.
The insurance company said they may be able to get me onto a hire machine and charge it to his ass, I’ve got my eye on an ex-demo 2005 Honda XL650 TransAlp with 1,100 miles on the clck @ £4300. I figured if my dealer will let me loan it ‘on hire’ they could pick up the rent, then when the ass pays up the damages I pay them the remainder of the asking price of the bike and hey presto, I get myself a nice (albeit ugly) all rounder which would be nice for touring and carrying my PAT testing gear 🙂
Apprently 1 of 4 CCTV cameras operated by the council on that street was right next to the scene …. but with my luck it is probably facing the wrong way FFS.

What I find most amusing is those same people who claim to beta test (Public beta tests) are usually with most vocal on forums about how much they hate the game and how EA/DICE sucks. Rather ironic really.
Yeah maybe, but also I’ve beta tested in private tests (non-public) and worked in Quality Assurance, yet I’m still vocal 😆

You really have no idea mate how much work and manhours goes into testing unless you’ve experienced it.
Your response just typifies the internet morons who run their mouth off without knowing any facts.
/Gets off soap box
I do as I have experienced it (but not for EA) and I will continue to slag them off all day long 🙄 Sure they may not be able to figure out every last bug in there especially the obscure stuff featuring weird button combinations which will only creep out over months in the public domain, but seriously it is laughable the amount of bugs that make it to the public which are so painfully obvious that anyone who even played the game with the patch for 5 minutes would see them…
/Gets on soap box
I also was on the 2142 beta, the first ever thing I saw when I joined a server was someone being insulted via some form of faggotry. Most of the beta testers were just there to play the game before any of their mates and gloat, they really didn’t seem to give a shit about being constructive in any shape or form, so yeah….. most beta testers = public server smacktards… = no confidence in the system.

An infinite amount of moneys with an infinite amount of pc’s and an infinite amount of time would create a bf patch that does not make more bugs.
That, or 1 labotomised monkey which has been deceased then stuffed and put in a trophy cabinet for several years with no PC and no time whatsoever could do it too 😛
Hmm when I saw the thread title and I thought it was a pisstake, aimed at the retail users playing a buggy POS, doh!!
I can’t say that beta testing the new patch is a bad idea, but considering the retards who tried the closed public beta and how much information actually got passed back to EA (then their competance at fixing them) I’ll keep an open mind to this next patch =/
I’ve been trying to get access to the tapes from the council, but when I ring one department, they refer me to another, then another, then another…. =/ I tried to get hold of the local councillor to help chase them up and to chase up the police but he is in Westminster atm so I’ll have to wait untill the weekend to speak to him.
I also contacted the local newspaper for a witness appeal, mostly the customer who was infront of me in the que then also the guy taking pictures of the crash on his cameraphone.
I got the bike back after a £117 recovery & storage fee – it’s totally fucked =/
Oh well…
EDIT: Just phoned my insurance company, I may be in a small amount of hot water for forgetting to tell them I had a private plate on at the time, but because of the way the cherished plate system works the bike can use either my private or original registration 8) oh… and they also think his BS story is BS too 😈
Thing is I don’t play WASD, so the Z-Board is useless to me 😛 I use arrows and numpad, and that’s pretty much it. The remainder of the keyboard is redundant.
