You blew some guy? Does rob know?

In just 3 short movements. She's good...

[DuncanMoto]

She does have a very valid point though.

"Don't kick my car"?

[Kazinator]

Thank you for making it very clear that the fact it was a woman made it bad.

Really? Male or female, the DRIVER took it too far. Leave gender/sex out of it.

The motorcycle driver was male, the car driver was female. I used that to distinguish who was wrong. By using an a instead of an e I wasn't trying to make any sort of statement.

Get off your pedestal. Sheesh.

Lucky he did not get pinned between the cars.

As fun as this is, he's nuts for doing that under any and all circumstances. As someone who commutes into Boston by motorcycle quite frequently, I have seen my share of cage-stupidity. Absolutely nothing good will happen to me as a result of getting angry or retaliating. My commuting objective is to get from point A to point B will no damage to my bike or person.

A motorcyclist challenging a cage in that manner is the equivalent of bringing a knife to a gunfight, You might escape with a few flesh wounds or you might get killed, but you are not going to win.

That doesn't mean the cager wasn't an ass, but the rider risked his life over nothing.

Not at all what I was trying to say... All I'm saying is that he had a huge opportunity to walk away from something he almost didn't walk away from.
I can all but guarantee that the situation began over something stupid and trivial.
The lesson here is you can NEVER assume the mental stability of someone you don't know. It's not going to matter how right you are if you're dead. Call her a moron, leave it at that and live to ride another day. That guy almost died over what was very likely so fucking insignificant that (had he just ignored it) wouldn't even be a story worth telling at the local bar. Wow, a moron cut you off? Good story, bro.

...or, even, someone you DO know...!

Here is a bit more footage.

I think the part where she slams into the car next to her and then crosses two lanes to smash into the parked car with the rider on the hood of her car to be the most interesting.

I've down near the Sao Paulo area for just over 2 and half months. I must admit that I do not know the local legislation as much as I which but I can't see it being much different from the U.S.

Personally, I would avoid riding a motorcycle in a city here. I mean, motorcyclists downhere ride like maniacs: they ride in between cars, cut in front of you...it is crazy. I mean motorcycles not ofering the same protection of a car...these guys are the ones who should be the most carefull in traffic...yet, I find the oposite to be the rule.

Me? I mind my business and do not mess with others. I am respectfull in traffic and think twice before yelling or giving the finger to someone in traffic.

[QUOTE=Jim;1161262]Ninja's sell for $20k ?

Jim, import tariffs on vehicles are anywhere in between 100-130%. Ridiculous.

[Billy]

Hense the reason I don't bother kicking cars. Motorcycle vs car, car will always win unless you're Chuck Norris and you have the bike he had in Delta force with the mounted machine guns and missles!!!!

[Eddie]

I see "Brazil" and I expect one of two things. In this case...nailed it!

And what's that? I don't mean to disagree, but Brazil is not as lawless as one might imagine. The country is quite prosperous and standard of living is high (despite the high import duties). There is more to Brazil other than soccer and beautifull women.

The town where I am in bear a lot of similarities to a tipycal U.S. town: booming insdustry, lots of parks, people are act civilized (including in traffic) and there is virtually no crime.

WOW, Northborough, MA has come a long way since I was last there....

I know right? I didn't see any big bootys in that video

My old friend gadget. Northborough is a wonderfull town and a place that's very dear to my heart.That's why we have a townhouse there. And yes, believe it or not the town I am in has a not of similaties to Northborough. Lots of playgrounds, live orchestras in the park in the center of town, lots of green areas, no polution or crime.

Now, let me make it clear to you, that being said, I absolutely love the U.S....but I also like it here a lot.

30 seconds ago I didn't even know about the soccer part...

It may be time to update your profile location, Eddie.

Shit Scott...hell with soccer man.

[Eddie]

I know you are. But there is a lot of truth to what you said. And I appreciate that. Cheers man.

Back on point...as far as the motorcyclist in the video is concerned...two wrongs do not make one right.
