I have had a dozen motorcycles but I don't have any more but that video wouldn't change my mind if I decided to get another.Maybe it should but it wouldn't.

That is a pretty F#*!ed up video. I don't ever want to watch that again!!!

Honestly, I think I'm sick to my stomach.

I really think TheRedBeast or a moderator ought to add a more clear cut warning about the intensity of that clip so people don't find themselves so surprised.

What was your intent with this thread? Pretty lame IMO. I'm sure if someone wanted to go find some gory vids on the net they could themselves. Not too considerate of anyone who has been hurt or had someone they know get killed on a bike. But then again to each their own.

Great post.

People need to stop crying and maybe read: "WARNING ..... This video is very graphic. Do not watch if you have a weak stomach."

That is why I edited that post and added that line. Got a few complaints and wanted to see if that would help. If anyone has a problem with this thread, do not watch the video. It is simple. You were warned in advance.

Nobody's crying here BTW, just tasteless and inconsiderate IMO.

joeinstl · 01-16-2008, 10:05 AM

Thread title should be, "People who drive trucks, please pay attention to what you're doing!"

LOL, I didn't mean it literally...

He probably was texting, but I would hope for a BJ instead.

I've been riding for close 25yrs and riding too slow has never been a problem for me. That was a damn scooter anyway. It was the truckers fault, but the rider should have checked his mirrors. I've been rearended on a bike once, and it was one of the guys I was riding with, and we were trying to avoid an old fart that pulled out.

I had a deer shoot across the interstate last week and clip the back end of my truck just behind the rear wheel. It made me think what would have happened if I had been on the bike....but who knows.

BikerD · 01-16-2008, 10:58 AM

Yea that was pretty lame! Everyone that rides knows the risks and Im not realy sure what you are trying to say by posting something like that. You honestly think that is going to change peoples minds?
