He's lucky he didn't kill someone....or crack his head open like an egg.

Darkrider -thanks for posting that video...I think everyone should watch this through to the end. Words are not enough here....

That one that DarkRider posted really should apply to all vehicles.  I wish everyone would be more considerate of all other vehicles.  Most of the time people rushing may get to their destination 5 minutes sooner -if that much. 

In the face of pressure to rush through life, I say f*&k it, I'm taking my time.  Who cares if I don't make the bonus at work.  What's 15% more pay for 100% more work anyway.

Also, if people slowed down their driving, they'd save enough on gas and vehicle repair and maintenance(and increased insurance premiums for those that get tickets and get into accidents) to make it worthwhile.  That 5 minutes gets expensive.

WOW!

I was laughing my ass off at that first video and how stupid the driver was... almost teared up on the second video. 

I do all I can to be safe when Riding my Scoot. . . but I'm guilty of not being safe enough in the car.  I take it for granted that I'm enclosed in a metal box.  While I've always tried to be considerate to motorcycles, I'm kinda of an ass to other cars.  It's not worth it.  Now, I will say I'm WAY better than when I was younger but I hope we all reflect on this the next time we are in a traffic jam, merging lane, car, motorcycle, on ramp, off ramp, construction zone, bad weather, good weather, and life in general.

I would hope to ride with all of you at some time in my life.  I will do what I can to ensure I'm being safe enough to make that happen, I hope all of you will as well.

Does not matter what he was riding, he is a jerk off. There were people walking around while he was doing this stunt. I do hope the guy who's car was hit by the bike collected damages.

[DarkRider]

There have been many close calls i have had over the past year alone...it seems cagers just do not look to see when bikes are near...all of my close calls so far have been when i have been riding solo but i have heard from members of my group that there have been close calls even when theres a group of bikes out in an organized ride. I have had a couple close calls in my car that made me think twice as to why i ride with some of the idiots out there on the streets.

Maybe I'm heartless but I wish this guy came away with more than road rash. This dumb s#!t could have hurt someone else with that tank! I see plenty of metric riders do worse too. What story is he going to tell the boys at the repair shop? Something involving a 'cager' I suspect. Still, it's a laugh to see him made a fool of.

Aaahhh, I feel better now.

[Ecosse]

Me again.

Darkrider, thanks for that piece. Simply moving.

[BobbyR]

That second piece should made into public service announcements by the AMA if they really want to promote a safer environment for riders. Very touching.
