I'm no chicken, I love riding fast on nice quiet secluded country roads, but watching that clip made me feel sick. Any number of bad things could have happened to that turkey, and while I was impressed with his riding skills (really enjoyed his wheelies) there were too many collision scenarios that were beyond his control, so (if he's still alive) he's just a fatality waiting to happen. Over here we call them "Temporary Australians".................  :P

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Where I live cagers change lanes sometimes....There's a 100% chance that riding like this three times would get you in a serious accident.

I like my job, but i'm not in THAT much of a hurry to get to work...

Can I unclench my ass now?  In Boston he wouldn't have gotten 100 feet before some braindead moron opened his door to dump out a cup of bad coffee.

What's going to happen when he crosses paths with the other motorcyclist, that loves his job too, and works on the opposite side of town?   ;D

Yeah, well I wouldn't be blaming the coffee dumper, in this instance Al. I remember back in 1999, they'd just opened the Western Ring Road here in Melbourne, and I was travelling along happily at 60 MPH when a guy on a Fatboy split past me at warp speed. Shortly afterwards, the traffic stopped completely.

When I eventually crawled past the accident scene, they were putting a blanket over the body of the Fatboy pilot. Apparently a car changed lanes just as the Hog went past, sending him off to motorcycling Valhalla, or perhaps, Poughkeepsie.

Interestingly enough, as I rode past I noticed that they'd put the Fattie on the sidestand, and it didn't look too badly damaged, and I wondered who would eventually become the owner of that unfortunate bike. Cheers, Terry. ;D

You ride little differentely in eastern europe. Lot more fun then in USA. If you are on a bike you pass at any oportunity and motorists know it and expeckt it. Even driving a car is more fun there.
