Speeding motorcycle rider convicted

Two friends set out on two motorcycles to race on public roads. One is filming the whole event, including the head on colision that results in the death of his "friend". The film footage which shows his motorcycle travelling at 156mph is used by the police to convict him.

As a motorcyclist / biker / ride of powered 2 wheelers I am appauled at the contempt these 2 riders had for both the law and the image of motorbike users that results from their actions and the media coverage it has attracted.

But I ask you, would you want to count the survivor as a friend? Somebody who puts their life, your life and the lives of countless others at risk doesn't deserve a friend in the world.
