I mentioned this in an earlier post.....

"Those that get trauma usually deserve trauma." This video proves that point. :(

That type of riding has its place, and public roads isn't the place for it.

I enjoy and appreciate aggressive riding myself; I used to race for a great many years before joining the “cruzin” crowd.

When I saw the video I was in awe at first, then reality struck… how many times did the first guy ride head on into oncoming traffic?

How many of those folks on the road were probationary, paranoid, elderly etc?

When the second guy joins in, something really stood out to me… he had no licence plate on the rear.

This video was a chronicle of something these guys do every day!

Take it to the track!!!

i don't disagree with the idiot part, or that he should be on a closed course doing this stuff. It was still great riding, and I was glad it didn't end in a crash up. Of course I don't wanna see innocent people hurt either. But it was still a very thrilling video! ;)

 I agree with Gary...this type of riding does not belong on public roads...the way that guy was lane-splitting, passing into oncoming traffic...wow...if he doesn't end up like that dude that kissed the back of a semi at 120mph, I'll be surprised.

The sad part is he'll get off scot-free...   he's just dead.  somebody else will have to deal with the carnage he leaves behind...   I have to make a conscious effort not to follow these idiots home and provide a down home ass beating in their own driveways...  did I mention that my wife still has nightmares about the a$$wipe that planted himself in the back of the pick-up. 


yup,

bitter?  party of one?  your table is ready......

I would have been thrilled all to hell,  had he hit a tree and went SLAT for all of us to see.

I still wouldn't wish that on anyone. :(

He should take it to a closed course and entertain, instead of upsetting everyone with it. ;)

Howie,
I agree with you on that...don't wish him any harm, but unfortunately, his antics are going to scare the crap out of some unsuspecting driver on the road and they're going to cause an accident.  This guy will probably end up getting away with what he's doing, but his antics out on a public road will probably end up getting someone seriously hurt or killed.   :-\

Charlie, I don't think anyone would argue that. It's still entertaining riding, that's all I'm saying. On a closed course, that's skill. On a public road, it's crazy! We've probably all done some crazy stuff we shouldn't have when we were younger. We're lucky to still be here and talk about it. Well, unfortunately, not all of us are. I hope he learns to put the talent and passion to good use instead.

Agree with that.  I'm sure he and his buddy could put on a really nice skill show on a closed course, where people would be expecting those kinds of maneuvers.  I just hope he "grows" up before he either kills himself, or gets someone else killed.
