Remember this post?

Well, I got a letter from the chaps who created it – pasted below – and they’ve pointed me to another little video. And once more, while it was intended for cyclists, I think it does apply to us as well. Watch it, and leave a comment about whether you passed or failed. I almost passed, I have to admit.

Here’s the letter, then

My name is Martin Uttley and I work on behalf of Transport For London (TFL). We were very pleased to see your mention of our DoTheTest video on your website.

As you liked the DoTheTest video campaign we thought you might be interested in our latest cycling awareness videos Whodunnit?

We have posted them up on www.dothetest.co.uk and on YouTube. We would love to hear what you think of the latest cycling awareness videos from TFL. Thank you so much for your original post and I look forward to hearing your thoughts

Martin, the vids are great. I wish our Governments were doing as much for motocyclists’ safety as you chaps are obviously doing. The new series is super. Keep up the good work, all the best and ride safe.

Hey, I found both of these spoofs quite hilarious, so I thought I’d post a link here.

The innovative new British helmet rating system is moving forward. Actually, it isn’t as much innovative as it is overdue. In any case, they recently out this missive…

Thank you for registering your interest in SHARP – the new safety rating for motorcycle helmets in the UK.

Sorry we have been so quiet since SHARP was announced in November last year. We’ve been very busy testing helmets and the first ratings will be announced very soon. Ratings will include helmets from AGV, Airoh, Arai, Arashi, Bell, Box, HJC, KBC, Lazer, Nitro, Nolan, Premier, Roof, RST, Shark, Shoei, Suomy, Takachi, Urban, X-Lite and Vemar.

We recently added the SHARP presentational video (right-click to download 10Mb video) to our website, which you may find of interest. We’ve also introduced a ‘news’ page and added the ’search’ tools we hope you’ll use when considering your next helmet purchase.

We will keep you informed of all the SHARP news as it happens.

Best regards,
The SHARP Team

Sorry to do two video posts one after the other, but you have got to see this video. The skill and coordination on display is fantastic. Wish I could ride like that… Originally spotted here

What do you think of this?
Would you wear one of these (cost, for the moment, no bar?).

I got this video link off some blog… sorry, but I cannot remember which one. In case it doesn’t play, the original video page is here. Watch it carefully. The original idea was about cyclists, but I think it applies much wider, no?

Found some superb KTM RC8 videos… thought I post them up
