Bloody diesel on roads, especially on roundabouts
As the topic says, they can cause so much pain and problems, especially to those people on motor bikes, or even little SCOOTERS,  .
Lets be careful out there.
Oh welcome home Steve (worX)

and thats what i mean, if its happening to me in a heavy car with 4 wheels, with very slight acceleration, what's it going to be like for a bike
on 2 wheels

most SCOOTER accidents are down to diesel spills i think. But i feel sorry for the people who clean it up, gets all over your clothes, PANT'S,
t-shirt, flipflops etc

That looks like some sort of foreign shot that Joe.
Is this sort of accident more common abroad?
Perhaps when you're on holiday or something?

Joe, that sounds awful!
I had no idea that 50cc scooters were so powerful. I must warn those people I know that are going on holiday. It might pay to warn those people who
just may have come back too.
Just imagine. On some sort of holiday and you bin your supermoto scotter coming off a roundabout. You couldn't even joke about it could you?

It's not a joking matter, ive seen supermoto riders doing corners with there foot down, but never SCOOTERmoto riders with there flipflops
down, thats going to hurt, oh the the thought makes me cringe.

Is it the sort of accident where you might not be wearing the correct protecting clothing? That could leave you with nasty injuries that can interfere
with other activities you had planned...

These crazy foreigners eh?
Scootermoto sounds like one crazy daredevil sport. I just don't know anyone mad enough to do it.
That friend of yours probably flicked on the NOS on his Scootermoto and lost it. It's an easy mistake to make with such power at your gripped
hand.

Oh I'm sure if anyone were that reckless, they'd throw caution to the wind and just be wearing shorts and flip flops or something equally
wacky!
