Doh!

That is one of my biggest fears. I'm always a little reserved on on ramps for exactly that reason.

The way the SUV "speed bumped" over him was gruesome.

one of my biggest fears always...corners and turns that may have loose gravel or marbles.

that one looked bad for the bike guy.

It looks like it was shown on TLC... which usually means the guy lived though it!

That's pretty messed up, looks like a VERY decreasing radius turn.

I agree that this is a definite fear of mine. Sliding into freeway traffic is not a good thing whatsover. But does anyone think that guy was hitting that ramp for the first time? Maybe i guess. Realistically he was probably trying to go a bit faster....or some old piece of shit truck dropped some oil. Who knows.

Pass on the outside of a car in the same lane, between the car and the guardrail... Not to bright is he! Bet he said something to the effect "Hey watch this" before he attempted that manuver...

Darwin conducted an amazing demonstration right before my eyes (and lens) yesterday . . .


Darwinian Biker


If you are wearing a tupperware half helmet in New York City . . . you are an IDIOT.

No . . .I've no need to argue and have no need to reform, correct or parent you . . but I watched Mr. Tough Guy here go body skipping down the street. . . . not only does the helmet do nothing to protect you, it was the first thing to leave before he even hit the light pole.

Darwin . . .weeding them out one by one . . . . I'm off to school to study . . I'll be the one in the full face Arai and full Aerostich with back protector, boots and gloves. I'm hedging my bet.

I've seen that first one before and the rider was actually in a real race in some foreign country. I guess that they ride with traffic on the road in that one.

I hate to say it, but I've passed on the outside of car going into a left sweeper just like that idiot did. I didn't go down, but I got into the marbles and did a hellacious slide getting by. I wish I could have seen it from the passenger seat of that car, but I surely didn't want to hear what the poor people inside probably said.

That was one boneheaded move I absolutely regret even though everything turned out OK for me. I still feel bad for the elderly couple I harrassed with my incredible inconsiderateness... they were probably out just looking at the foliage and trying to enjoy a Sunday afternoon.

The first guy above must not have been ridding a Buell, or he would have "Owned" that corner, not the other way around.

I don't think that guy meant to pass that car on the right. He didn't appear to have a choice as he rolled up on that car too fast and was looking for any escape route. Very lucky.
