I'd never wish anybody any harm, but where was the crash helmet, protective clothing, and ability.
Kind of had it coming, he clearly had no idea what he was doing when he was sat on the bike.

Bit further down the clips there was the same clip headed owner dies doing burnout. Way too high a price to pay.

Edit. Checked with the website and was not true. Cuts, bruises and embarrassment only.

Goes to show that builders aren't neccessarily the best drivers - stunning performance like that needs complete concentration (and all of the right protective gear too) and he had neither.

I'd love to have a go though

Not to mention a drag strip. A line of concrete planters and bollards isn't the environment for a machine like that.

Lucky he didn't kill a pedestrian, though it's amazing how sticking a camera in peoples faces makes them do stupid things.
