Cameras mounted on the bikes concerned. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BIKETEK-MOTORCYCLE-ACTION-SPORTS-VIDEO-CAMERA-/180678981435?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item2a114e773b#ht_3142wt_1269 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine_2 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Perhaps the second bike should have been travelling slower and at a distance where he could have stopped safely in the distance available, bearing in mind the weather conditions. I'll bet his insurance company would like to get hold of that recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulT Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yes, the second bike had not left enough distance (as many car drivers do not) to stop if anything happens.As the first bike was being waved down by the police officer with a speed gun I can only assume that the bikes were speeding.

Racerbear02 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 OK all is solved, see below, incidentally it was on the TT circuit on the Isle of Man and on the mountain section where it was filmed there is no speed limitIt was a staged event that went wrong, here's the full video :-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxiKQl7B2y8quote......" Stuart Peters gets it horribly wrong on a borrowed motorbike whilst filming a road safety scene (!) for a TT Circuit Guide programme. After 30+ years driving cars, he briefly forgot that an emergency stop on a bike involves using FRONT brake too! Luckily, nothing seriously hurt but pride...and his bank balance!
