Maybe bikes should not be allowed? If the guardrail will save drivers of cars, then perhaps the climb is too dangerous for bikes.

It sounds like screams of terror in that video. Jesus! I'm glad we are not here talking about a death.

I saw the interview on television. Glad to see that an arm-sling was the worst of it. The camera shots of the cracked helmet really put stuff into prospective.

Can't wait to cheer them on in another Evo killing the Peak!

side note, I saw the AMS shift knob in the recovery shots. Wanna sell it? I would be honored to own the shift knob from that Evo :-D

While we are at it, we should petition the bull run to segregate the bulls and the participants so that the dangerous bulls can't maul the runners in Spain? Maybe put a fence inbetween them?

Pikes is Pikes because of the consequence. Period.

If you think bikes are extreme you have not seen the Side Car racers! There were two real fast Side Car teams that were unreal ! The fastest team races at the Isle of Man TT every year I was told.

Here is a link to the Piers Morgan interview tonight. If someone knows how to place the video here, I will do it. For now, just a link:
