Bike Accident in Ipswich MA

[ZX-12R]

I witnessed a guy do something really stupid today. I was at the Dunkin Donuts next to Lord Square in Ipswich when a guy on a Bandit 1200 traveling west bound on Rt. 133 tried to pass a car on the right while it was turning right. The guy gunned it and smashed into the right side of the car. He rolled a bit and was able to get up and walk around but had obvious road rash. He had NH tags so I'm wondering if anyone here knows who it was and how they are doing.

I was one of the first people there and got his bike stood up. It was leaking oil severely from around the heads but I could not directly see where it was coming from. The car had some damage but wasn't really that bad.

Let's just hope he learned his lesson.



Something tells me he didn't.

I would second that.. My guess is he is thinking... "A little more lean, or a little less throttle."

I try and not pass some of these phuckers with turnsignals because in the last 2 weeks I have had 4 JACKASSES who will signal and move over to one side and then swoop to the other.

Nearly got walloped on Rte 4 this week. Guy moves to the right, turnsignal righ, then abruptly just makes a left hand turn, guess he realized that he wanted the other direction on the road. I slammed on my brakes and just cleared the left rear quarter panel. I am blaring my horn and the guy gives me a look like "What the fuck are you beeping at me for".

Oh... To only have had a tire iron holstered to my bike. That guy needs a serious bain bashing...

By next week I will be back to whipping by the phuckers... but it definitely shakes you up a few times

Why in THEE hell was he passing a RIGHT turning car on the RIGHT??? Misuse of signals? Incorrectly anticipating a turn? Do you know WHY he did that?

[ZX-12R]

I have no idea why he did it. He claimed that the person in the car had his left directional on but I saw the whole thing and the car clearly had its right one on. Besides, there is no place to turn left where the accident happened anyway.

I have passed right on a right turning car once.

The guy was at a stop light, no on coming traffic and just sitting there... After I passed and took the turn on the right, he woke up.... Think mine was a little different, but close... who knows...
