JAinsworth Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Maybe, like a lot of us, he is tired of the crazy driving of crotch rockets that think they own the road and endanger us all with their high speeds and darting in and out of traffic. I worked with a guy that was given a ticket for over 120 in a 45 and his mentality was that the cops were picking on him. If he came through my neighborhood like that, he would get clotheslined.

Preludedude Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) both parties are at fault... the drunk lowlife and the fools on motorcycles who were flying and illegal passing a car which is unsafe.. both of them are worthless low lifes...

Jimmy I fully agree but at the same time the guys on the crotch rockets would have got passed him with no issue. It doesn't give that guy the right to kill someone.

Starwolf Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Just because i could easily fly by a semi on the side of an interstate doesnt mean its the right thing to do. The motorcyclists were to blame JUST as much as the truck driver in my opinion. Both stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanta Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Well, let me phrase this to you guys. If it was a car passing you - say, a Ferrari, Supra, or any sort of high dollar performance machine - would you still have tried to run it off the road?

averse Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Well, let me phrase this to you guys. If it was a car passing you - say, a Ferrari, Supra, or any sort of high dollar performance machine - would you still have tried to run it off the road? Some people would, Fanta. The man in the truck has obviously become irritated by motorcycles passing him in the past (he even makes statements to that effect). When he saw the motorcycles coming up all of those past irritations came flaring up and his emotions took over. He had zero right to react the way he did AND the cyclists behaviors also played a role in why that incident happened, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 should be titled, "motorcyclist endangers public safety and self, then acts all self rightous".

JAinsworth Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 A few years back we had 19 starquests caravanning to Import Showdown in Reynolds GA when one of these crotch rocket fools starting passing the group, going uphill on a double yellow. A car came over the hill from the other way, we had a lot of questers slamming on brakes to keep the idiot from causing a major wreck. We get to the drag strip and the fool is running his bike. He was thrown off the bike while trying to launch and the bike was torn up some. I was glad he tore up his bike before he could put others at risk with his stupid actions caused by his mentallity of "I have a fast bike and can pass all these cars" with no regard for the safety of others on the road, at this time a lot of starquests. That incident was the spark of my animosity for crotch rockets and their owners.Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotStock88 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 What i cant stand is that they act like we(anything other than a motorcycle) are just an inconvenience and we have to watch out for them. They weave in an out of traffic at unsafe following distances, going excessive/unsafe speeds - its atrocious some of the things I see. I also agree that the guy in the truck was COMPLETELY out of order and should be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law. He went completely overboard and, to me, seems like he blew up taking things too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchi934 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 As a motorcycle rider and enthusiast; this video disgusts me to watch. Yes the riders were riding faster than they needed to be and were passing on a double yellow. But swerving at the guy was just as good as drawing a gun on him. A simple "fender bender" type accident on a motorcycle with a car can result in losing a leg or arm, or even dieing. If I was prosecuting the driver of the truck it would be for attempted murder. I believe if a motorcyclist is being irresponsible than they are putting themselves at risk and any ill consequences are their own fault. For example if a car was in the other lane when that guy went to pass: It's not up to the car to swerve out of the way at all, nor is it the responsibility of the driver of the circumstantial car to put themselves at risk in any way to avoid the motorcyclist, nor does it make sense to... If you hit a bike on a car its really no different for you than hitting a deer. I think its terrible that you all are generalizing bike riders as hazardous to you and are holding that kind of grudge just because a small percentage of riders chose to be radically irresponsible. Think about all of the motorcyclist on the road; most of which you don't remember because they don't stand out. The ones you do remember; however, are the ones being jackasses. And those are the ones who have ruined it for all of us. Its really no different than people at car shows who do burn outs and such, causing people to look down on young people into import cars. A few irresponsible people are ruining it for all of the other enthusiasts. The biggest danger to anyone riding a motorcycle on the street is automobiles. (If you think about it, the same holds true for cars as well). Other drivers are the main reason for most accidents. Studies have shown that drivers don't notice motorcycles like they do cars, which makes sense, as they have a much smaller profile. If a driver pulls out in front of a motorcycle (most of which don't even have ABS) its lights out. THAT is why pro-motorcyclist organizations choose to promote automobile driver awareness of motorcycles. In any case, no matter what could have, would have or might have went on. NO ONE deserves to have their life endangered like is depicted in this video. /rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAinsworth Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Tyler, I agree there are a lot of conscientious and safe bike riders out there. Those I respect, however I have no respect for the speeding, putting others at risk riders. I also feel the same way about idiots who act the same way in their cars and trucks.Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was saying that in the case he swerves back into your lane an hits you while going the same direction...Its really no different than hitting a deer.

NotStock88 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I have never seen a motorcycle driver not breaking the law, in one way or another, unless they were parked. For that fact it makes it much more harder for me to give the benefit of the doubt to ANY motorcyclist. BUT like i said, I think that driver should be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law!

The Rabbit1 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Back when I had my bike I was going through a tunnel in a convertible mustang behind two crotch rockets. the two of them dropped to like 2nd gear and one continually pulled his clutch in and would just rev the hell out of the engine. both had exhaust so the deafening drone of that exhaust had me so mad. I wanted to run them over just for being such idiots. But I let them go.. eventually they would complete darwin's theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at 20mph, the collision would be nothing like hitting a deer. You have obviously not been in the kind of crash you speak of. What i'm saying is that your car is at a far higher risk from being hit by a bad/unaware automobile driver then a motorcycle rider. Perhaps I didn't make my point clear, but you're getting hung up on the details of my comparison. The point of the comparison was to say that if you're in a car; you are far more dangerous to a riders life, than he is to yours in the event of a collision.
