[Wanderer]

All in all, could have been handled better!

looked like he just jumped off his bike. at least he was wearing gear

[DuncanMoto]

What a douche.
He was going like 70 around 5mph traffic.

I see your bad breaking video and raise you a could have been much worse video.

That's one lucky m'effer. He was about 3 inches away from having a crushed ankle.

[Jaynnus]

so much for using the 12 second anticipated path rule

[Chippertheripper]

douche=correct.

[Paul_E_D]

his would make a great interactive scenario for MSF. I always wondered why they don't follow through with outcomes in those video clips...

[Pittenger5]

Friggin Ruskies.

[BostonSVkid]

he is damn lucky to have a right foot. That was a close call to him being an amputee.

my thoughts exactly

[korndogg]

He dumped his bike awfully quickly.
Very lucky to have his foot.

wow, sucks. Would an aftermarket stabilizer have helped any there or was he prettymuch doomed? Seemed like the bike was wandering during his wheelie.


I combine your brake fail + wheelie fail videos:

And not a stitch of protective gear. Got to love it when when people will drop 5-10k on a bike, and not a dollar on equipment to not become the sausage creature

[Pittenger5]

Oh so youve been to Miami?

[Wanderer]

Oh so youve been to Miami?

I'd melt. I'm surprised you didn't burst into flames

[Rossco]

I'd melt. I'm surprised you didn't burst into flames

Believe it or not the hottest recorded temperature in Manchester NH is hotter than the hottest recorded temperature in Miami FL.

Lots of AC

[DankDirtyBird]

and thats why I don't wheelie. Well that and I kind of suck at them.

[Trackday Guru]

Apparently, the Commies have neither the protective gear, the ablility, nor the brakes to carry out such squidly maneuvers.

Gotta love the look on the truck driver's face: "WaaaatazeeFUCKaaa-aare-ayouTHINKINK?"

["Dangerous" Dan K]

I'm surprised the truck driver in the OP even noticed that fast. He must have been watching his mirrors for the turn?

[KB]

Ha that sucks.

X2. Weird.

[Danz19899]

thats why well load the front end kids. He could have stopped but grabbed a hand full of front brake wayyy to fast.

lucky mofo.

and yes most truckers watch the passenger mirror while turning to make sure the dont hit anything . . . very lucky for that guy

I don't have a video of it but watched a woman almost slam into the side of a car because of poor braking technique. She was going downhill toward a light, the light turned red and she didn't notice or at least she didn't care and didn't slow down. The car in front of my had a green left turn arrow and pulled out to turn left, the woman finally noticed the red light and smashed down on her rear brake only. She went into a skid but managed to stop a few feet away from the car, probably had to go home and change her pants. It was obvious she only hit the rear brake because the front didn't dive at all and her rear left a skid mark on the road.

[OreoGaborio]

her rear left a skid mark on the road.

on the road?

[jwm2k3]

on the road?

She musta been one of them skanky bitches
