To Mask or Not to Mask?

[Hatin Since 87]

Have you seen that country lane in Britain onboard video where the cage driver goes wide on a left dogleg and head-ons a motorcyclist? If you have, you'd remember - it's pretty horrifying.

Either that driver, or his buddy in trail, has a camera looking rearward also, and it takes the guy and bike a couple of seconds to fall back into frame. From what I read he was wearing an airbag jacket and it was thought to have saved his life, although he still had grievous injuries

No I haven’t... which is amazing cause I watch a lot of motovloggers and videos like that. Suburban delinquent is one of my favorites to watch. I’ll have to find that.

Im wanting to get rid of my ninja and get a cruiser, I might do some more research and get the air suit too. I didn’t ride much at all last year, every time im on it someone nearly runs me over on their phone, so I’ve decided it’s not worth it. This might be something that can give me a little peace of mind.

My biggest concern would be getting T-boned and having a shattered (or amputated ) leg. I carry cars through busy/complicated intersections when possible

I've been run off the road before by a woman trying to pull out of grocery store quickly due to oncoming traffic and her speed carrying her completely into my lane before she could get a handle on it. Give you two guesses whether she stopped

Dang!!! That guys lucky to be alive. I wonder if the car driver was texting, it didn’t seem like he even attempted to brake until after the impact.

Whatever gear that guy had on was worth every penny. That was hard to watch

Yes, it is a damn shame. Between texters and aliens that don't know how to drive it is more risky than ever. I just sold my Harley last year but I kept a couple little bikes for short trips - both Honda Rebels, a 250 and a 450. They are handy at the cabin too.
Sold the Harley to my next door neighbor so I can still ride it once in a while if I want to.

Looked like the car driver was hot dogging the corner and went into the oncoming lane.
He surpassed his skill quota and the other dude paid for it.
Dumbass.

Seen that a few times. For some reason any time you ride a sports bike everyone thinks you wanna race em. I have no desire to race a 2500 lbs car.

I will say, a lot of bikers do dumbass **** too. People treat us like **** because of what a few morons do

I threw sparks from my kickstand while Hitting the throttle coming off a cloverleaf as a car's fender with the turn signal flashing made the decision it was clear to come off the interstate in Denver once.

You should always push your kickstand back and up and out of the way.

I was going to post about this. Looks like common sense is getting a foot hold.
Now if someone would get our lord Gov on high in a head lock and beat some sense into him.

Ha ha. Hammer and Nigel said that Holcomb will have to check in with Gov. Whitmer before making any lockdown releasing decisions.
