The squealing brake is a common trait of the Honda CT110 and there is nothing you can do about it except replace the pads as soon as it starts. Would cost a lot of $$$ if you did this every time.


Its funny though, The comments I get from countries WITHOUT GUNS  is basically I am an idiot and should not have done it? Comments from countries WITH GUNS I get good on you. Countries WITH GUNS DO NOT tolerate this bullshite and the driver would probably have been arrested and thrown in jail. GO FIGURE.

Yeah, my country there aren't many guns...you can only have small caliber with a special license, and to get that license you must make some tests, have a good reason to have a gun, no criminal record...etc... It is uncommon to see guns around here, although I know that in Australia there is more allowance...even heard a story about a cousin (girl) of a friend of mine who lived in Sydney, always ride her SUV with a gun in the dash, so anyone can see it and won't mess with her...  :cookoo:
That's just nuts! I can't put myself in you situation as I never lived in a "guns culture"...
BTW, that guy in the car is just a kitty cat, afraid for his well being?! He should take a vacation in Moscow...

You drive crazy lol. Bike would be towed and licensed suspended for driving like that here (Ontario). Also, did you open his door? If someone did that to me I would there is no guarantee I would not push door open all way and knock you over. Nothing against you but I would be thinking "I dont know this guy, What the hell is he doing trying to come into my car?"

Not sure what Australia you're referring to but if you had a gun on a dash, visible, you'd be in jail quicker than you can blink.  Even just pretending you have a gun, real or not is an offence, something like menacing and/or creating fear in public. Not sure when the alleged issue happened in the video, maybe someone can give me a time point in the timeline (hint, add it to the comments) but if the person or persons did make a gun gesture towards Cods, then that is creating fear in public and can lead to criminal charges.  Just don't show them all the video Cod's, there's some questionable riding there, no need to incriminate yourself or diminish your complaint.

Mate, yer going to be needing a big trip to the dentist sometime real soon if ya go round knocking on blokes' car windows and starting conversations like that.

What is it about the combination of GoPros+YouTube that brings out the "nanny" vigilante in some motorcyclists? Seems to be some sort of internal justifying myth that having a GoPro provides a cloak of immunity to a decent right-hook.

Yeah that crossed my mind but sh!t happens and I am 6 foot and 120kg and have balls made of steel and I wear a cape at night so I wasnt worried. These sort of people are usually gutless pricks when you confront them. Besides I have some very big friends that ride motorcycles :thumb:
Only ever been hit twice and both by the same guy about 25 years ago and have never been hit since. I do my best to try though :flipoff:

Oh and I have no teeth so the dentist does not see me anymore anyway :icon_mrgreen:

Do you mean you feel bad about what you said to them, or that you were taking a risk at being hurt or killed?

I'm not, but, I guess you're right...it is better to let stuff like that go. But it feels so good to make somebody look like a complete imbecile.

I'm totally against let stuff go...throw them a cocktail molotoff and make them beg for the fire extinguisher that you have in your hand while you laugh out loud! That would be just beautiful!  :cookoo:

Just kidding...but for sure, I won't let stuff go!
