Anyone know this idiot motorcyclist?

[Brandane]

I hope the Ducati riding nobber IS following this thread, although I suspect by now he has more to concern himself with.
From a fellow biker, I would just like it to be known that you are a (insert 4 letter word as used on the Ducati forum). What you did was a deliberate act, and well you know it. You are just very lucky that the cyclist was a gentle soul, as some I know would have ripped you apart limb by limb. Really. And you would have deserved it.
As for the Police Officer, WTF? At no time did she even produce her notebook to take any sort of notes to record the incident. There WAS injury involved, contrary to what she said at the end. A grazed knee is an injury, so she should have been taking all the details require for a road traffic collision report.
Enjoy all that is coming to you Ducati boy, thanks to you having a chip on your shoulder. BTW it is not against the law to use a phone while cycling. Maybe not clever, but not illegal.

If someone leaked the clip to Liveleak then it would really kick off.

The only problem with that is the people of live leak would take the side of the motorcyclist. The people on there are not an intelligent bunch.

I don't know, but working her patch there is a chance she is on Diplomatic or Royalty protection. Could this mean her jacket is Kevlar protection and as such meant to cover a larger area.

It certainly did cover a large area!

FYI: We found his numberplate and potentially some other info about him.
Some info has been passed to traffic cops for them to look into.

Gaz, have they been given a copy of the video as well?

[QUOTE 3094874, member: 9609"]I thought she was OK, presumably by her age she is very new to the job and we can't expect every officer to start off with 20 years of experience. In fact I was encouraged by her anti mobile phone stance, people pratting about with phones when they are driving needs to be stamped out. Curious about her terminology "if he'd been on his phone he'd have been "Stuck On" under the road traffic act" Stuck On ? where I come from if you stick one on somebody you head-butt them!

As for the coat, it did look completely stupid and totally unprofesional - but I bet on a cold winters day its nice and cosy, I used to have a hillwalking jacket like that, could get my hands tucked up inside the sleeves and long enough to keep the cold wind off my bum[/QUOTE]
Sorry, but you don't need 20yrs experience to be impartial.

They have.

One thing that is worth noting here is the motorbike has hand guards. This means he can make that contact and not worry about his front break being applied.

Who was saying it must be like a massive game of whack-a-mole trying to delete it from the web?

Its hard without sound (no speakers at work) and the initial impact could be written off as completely careles but from the feed back I take he incriminates in sound?

Let's just hope that when this half wit's motorbike gets sent to the crusher, he doesn't decide to get himself a bicycle

The voice of the graphic designer (Alex Mitchell) who rides the Ducati motorbike is the first one you hear after the collision between his motorbike and the cyclist near Buckingham Palace, London. His first words to the cyclist, whilst he is still lying in the road are "What the hell are you doing on your phone anyway?"

It's a bit hard to hear what the cyclist says but Alex Mitchell repeatedly asks why the cyclist was on the phone.

He seems quite aggressive, and doesn't seem very concerned about the well-being of the cyclist knocked from his bicycle.

Watched the video, assuming [I may have missed this, long thread] it is London, does this explain why there were so many witnesses queuing up to give support to the cyclist? Nobody wants to know, lovely people.
The bit where the motorcyclist offers a handshake is beyond belief, the fact the the cyclist shook it had me cringing. If that had been me, on leaving the scene I'm sure I would have been so shook up that I would have wobbled and accidentally fallen against his motorbike.

It's right alongside Buckingham Palace and they end up discussing things on the traffic-free bit of road in front of the palace.

I think it might be worth it just for the number of views.
