Bloody bikers trying to keep up with Caterhams.

When will they ever learn?

Good comment, crazy bikers fear only a few things and a Seven is one of them!!

To be fair, I think the bike was chilling on the straights. 170bhp on two wheels v 140ish bhp in the car.

I noticed the Seven looked a bit of a handful. You can see the inner upper wishbone is snapped and flapping about. No wonder he was driving on the rear around right handed bends.

Agreed!


As ever, all this proves is that Caterham drivers are too pussy to own a sports bike. They do the exact same thing, drving enjoyment, you have to realistically wear a helmet if you want to go for it. You get wet if it rains and you can't carry much luggage or more than 1 passenger.

Yet bikers are cool (in the eyes of pretty girls, and thats ALL that really matters ) and Lotus replica owners will always be beard owners who spend their whole time slagging off Westfield owners for being fat.

You're thinking of Power Rangers:

The police are the other.


You don't have to dress up like a power ranger anyway...

I don't think they were racing. There's no camera on the back of the bike so the Caterham stayed ahead for the sake of good footage.

I watched this one instead (Nurburgring Nordschleife Bridge to Gantry from a Caterham Seven):

Even if no bike to be seen.

Its rare to find a bike rider who will give a really hard driven fast car a run in my experience. The odd really quick rider then a huge gap to the also rans and poseurs..

They're expensive toys, you're going to get a lot of middle aged people in them!

The bike did have a camera on the back. The rider switched it on when they passed the accident for a short while.

Loving the age old fight between Seven owners and Bikers.

You can imagine Harry Hill saying he loves Bikers....and he loves Seven drivers...

but which is best, there's only one way to find out....



Lets be honest, both factions have good and bad points.

The wonderful images have explained the facts rather well.

Does any remember the film Gumball Rally with that weirdo biker on the black Kawasaki

Sorry bikers
