The guy on the motorcycle was not paying attention to where he was going and looking at the people on his left, probably looking at the girl with half her ass hanging out of her sweat pants.
the uploader (rnickeymouse) of this video has hundreds of videos of crashes from this road.
Err...... really?
Shouldn't we be told where?
That motorcyclist isn't going to last long if he keeps riding, hope the cyclists recovered from their injuries. The best outcome would be that the motorbike rider loses his licence to keep him off the road, for his end everyone else's safety.
About here -
But he's passed his test to already have a machine that size... he's not going to learn much now.I'd actually disagree with that because what will happen is that he will end up back behind the wheel of a huge truck and become an even greater danger to others.
What he needs to do is learn to ride within the limitations of both his own skills and the machine he is on...and to stay away from places like this where the crowd egg the road users to take stupid risks.
The biggest problem with the states is that nearly all the roads are arrow straight so they rarely get the opportunity to extend their ability.
But he's passed his test to already have a machine that size... he's not going to learn much now.
If you believe that, you have little understanding of what is required to ride a motorcycle quickly and safely on the road..
IMO Passing a bike test is only the beginning of the process to competency on the open road....especially when a heavy machine with a lot of performance is concerned. It isn't like sitting in a car seat and turning the wheel..
There's also an important point to note here - the open roads are not the place to ride "quickly". Many bikers (I was one such once) do like to 'make progress'. It's a bit of a nod and a wink. Something said to justify a form of hooning. The sort of thing that that video clip well illustrates. That biker should not be trying that sort of thing on a public road. Keep it for a track day.
he's passed his test but he's another numpty let loose on a motorbike which is clearly beyond his capabilities to control- he's not going to listen to advice because he doesn't have to now.
