Maybe cyclists can use the duel carriage way in that country?

The BMW actually won this battle, he bored the CBR rider into submission with his talk of 'Adventure' accessories, and how his BMW jacket is far superior to his old Richa Touareg  :lol

I'd argue the toss the bikers are bigger tw@ts than the cyclist

Nice overtake at 2:20.
Brazil: 40,000 road fatalities a year. Can't think why. :lol

The bike is an S1000RR, a sportsbike, he wouldn't be interested in the slighest in Touratech, Toureg or Adventure accessories as they're for the tourers. You need to keepup, (sorry, taking the piss there). Since the RR was introduced it's not now solely the domain of boring, bearded, IAM riders.
Some are but not all. 


The riders on the clip are of course fucking maniacs & I'm glad the cyclist wasn't wiped out. At the same time I'm glad I didn't have access to that power when I was a young'un.

Am i wrong believing you can cycle on duel carriage ways in this country?

Notice as usual, the yellow bike was way ahead waiting for  those slower ones to catch up.

I'd agree entirely. Treating the road as a race track, overtaking on the hard shoulder, carving in and out of traffic? Idiots.

If by "this country" you mean "the UK", then yes, it's perfectly legal (although not necessarily safe or sensible) to cycle on dual carriageways.

Cycles are only excluded from Motorways and roads which have specific "no cycling" signs.

Yes both in the UK and in Brazil where the video has been shot. Having said that the road from the video is a highway with reservation lane.

Cycles are only excluded from Motorways and roads which have specific "no cycling" signs.

All slow moving vehicles including cycles are also excluded from roads with minimum limit too.

Where I live - you can do anything on a bicycle, police don't even blink. You're invisible. Unfortunately, the invisible part goes when interacting with drivers as well, good old SMIDSY.

Agree, anyone can go fast on a straight stretch of road, no skill involved :z
