Laughter as i read it. Agree what a blast it is when you nail a downhill you know no matter the speed 50 or 100k
However i have recently had a friend collected by a koo and it wasnt pretty.
Its funny in a car i wouldnt dream of travelling anywhere the speed limit on dust in rural areas or riding my motorcycle in anything but leathers , boots , gloves and helmet yet on the bicycle recently in Bright i was doing 80+ ks following a group . Lyrca , foam hardlid and no gloves - stupidity
Yet it doesn't seem to hold the same fears as if i doing it on my trail or road motorbike
I can only imagine the speeds we are going to see with road bikes now equipped with disk brakes
PS . Spare a thought for the guys chasing you down Donna behind a car doing 80+ on a long skate board .Mmm definitely not for me i will take my chances on my bike
