Was outside my sister house last night and she lives on a corner plot where a lot of people (chavs init bruv) try and drift round the corner.

Ive seen better attempts from my 70 year old Grandad in his electric powered wheel chair to be honest

Any way a few bikes decided to join in and neither of them were wearing any real protection just helmet t shirt trainers and jeans.

My sister friend turns up just as one of these bikes comes up to the corner

I made a comment about how much it would hurt if they fell off and i would laugh so hard if they did..............................

And Boom!!!! He stakes it big time right in front of us and slides a few yards down the road.

Maybe this one at least will think about wear something a bit more protective as judging by the way he was holding his arm and the rep you Ozzy guys have I would have said it hurt like f**k!!!!!!

well...finish the story...did you laugh so hard?? or did you go running to help?

cause if i'd stacked it and somebody laughing at me i'd slap 'em lol :D

If he had been wearing the correct protective wear and not tearing up and down the damn road trying to showing off I would have been a bit more sympathetic

Just like to now what they think might happen when there bear skin makes contact with the tarmac at 50 60 70k cheese grater salt and lemon to the cock would be a 1000 times better i would think but alas its not cool is it????

Sorry to say it but you can only laugh at complete morons

reminds me of some twat in the safeway carpark on chapel st. P plater in a 180sx flogging it round with his mate n some underage slappers as passengers. He comes round the corner hard, around the speed humps, tries to rip a handbrake to stop next to a 4WD n bang ran straight into it. I sorta felt bad for him when he started crying but then I remembered how funny it was n kept laughing

agreed. Some people think because they see someone fall off and are on a bike then they for some reason deserve more sympathy. Not me! If they are acting like tools then they deserve what's coming to them, same goes for a person in the same situation in a car. And I have no sympathy for any bike rider that gets on a bike in anything less than kevlar jeans or proper bike riding gear (read leathers or soft shells) the amout of times I see douches riding around in shorts, t-shirts (or singlets) and runners is rediculous, sometimes they still wear their gloves!

I know it can be hot out there some days but to me, getting on a bike without the right gear is like getting in a car and driving it with no seatbelt, sure you're fine if nothing happens but the minute you get hit or hit something, you're getting creamed! Should be a law against it IMO

got a mate who rides n he never goes out without the Kevlar jeans, boots n jacket. He told me he'd rather arrive dripping in sweat rather than in a body bag. I was considering a bike but being witness to several bikes being cleaned up by cars recently has changed my mind

Did you film it?

Videos of squids hurting themselves is usually hilarious. For instance:

No throttle control, terrible balance and only waring helmet and gloves.

here's an even funnier one, great music to go with it too lol.

A couple of years ago I saw someone pulling a long mono on a high powered bike. He was screaming through the gears and was doing over 150 (60 zone) when he flew past me. (I was walking). A ute coming the other way started a right turn. The bike would have been 100 metres away when he started to turn. Still mono-ing, he hit so hard that it spun the ute 90 degrees.

It took me half a minute to walk up. The poor bastard in the ute was in shock and was just getting out. I stepped over the guy on the bike/ground, to go and console the guy driving the ute and to say I would be a witness. I didn't even look at the POS on the ground. Later, I was disappointed to discover that he didn't die. But he was paralysed. From what the cops said, his driving/riding record was pretty spectacular.

Dude, ouch. You might want to go talk to someone, you sound like a sociopath.

If I am then I'm happy to be it. I've ridden bikes for years, and owned a Ducati at the time. I can't stand riders like this. Saturday morning, main drag, 60 zone. Anyway, I assumed him to be dead and was more concerned with the poor driver who looked....began to make a safe turn....and couldn't work out where the bike had come from.

If it's a sin to have no concern for people who happily endanger the lives of others and then ruin their own lives, mark me as guilty.

(and btw, I'm not sure sociopaths go out of their way, to offer to be witnesses. If I hadn't, the driver could have been accused of making a dangerous turn, which he did not.)

I would have will do the same thing and had it not been for someone that had done this for me i would not be here today after a 100mph head on crash that left me trapped in a car while it burnt around me and my friend

What made me laugh was the guy actually said to the police on the phone after he put the flames out ÿes theres another casualty but i couldn't careless about him as he coursed the crash.

What an idiot! I would laugh at him! He deserves it. People who ride without gear don't deserve to have skin, they are that stupid.

Unless I have been going at a walking pace, I have NEVER not worn gear on a bike. As we say: All the gear, all the time.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
