since you where by it, the 91. one time i was on it closer to 14th traveling 91E and from under the car infront on the right. a piece of rubber flies out and smacks my helmet. good thing i had a full face
This is why you wear protective gear. :) If that thing hits your foot at that speed it could shatter it and you may never walk right again.
I've always wondered, why do motorcyclists give an underhanded hand gesture to each other when passing (head-on)? Is it just a to say "peace" or is there some law about it? Around here I've noticed that *every* biker does it.
@TheEgonTowst - it's a salute, in the order of not only a salutation, but a indicator of a taken level of unspoken backup and camaraderie. Underhanded cause if you put your arm up your changing the weight dist., catching wind, and have your arm out of riding position.
Plus, given the rather tenuous situation cage riders put us in with their level of isolated and sheltered inattentiveness, and our very vulnerable therefore hyper-aware state is cause for such notice/camaraderie.
2 weeks after PA repealed the helmet laws,a metal spike got flung off the road,beaned motorcycylist in the head with no helmet and killed instantly......................................
@thewyseguy I live in PA and see people without helmets all the time (almost always Harley riders and such), in my head I always think it's just an accident or death waiting to happen
I've driven the freeways of the western US for years with zero accidents but this video makes it look scary in a motorcycle like that cuz yer freakin helmet cam makes it look vulnerable and shaky. hahaha
haah wow thats like the 4th video ive seen of u almost dying ,,, i want a bike so bad . seeing all these vids shows me how dangerous it is out there but it still doesnt deter me from getting one :)
@shockofgod neither. i don't like how you ride... if you were so safety conscious, at freeway speeds you would have a good 8-10 seconds to allow for any sort of road hazard.
@mbcyclery I agree with you on that for sure...you are right. Although I must say I have met many riders that have never crashed and they are in their 60's and such so in reality some do not crash ever in their life. But I do agree with the gist of your statement. If I had to predict if I would crash...I would say it most likely will be to a tire blowing out or something. I have had the bike die on the freeway lol and that was a shock.
@shockofgod the whole point of motorcycle riding (for us normal humans) is to keep the rubber side down; the best way to do that is with offensive riding tactics. so in the interests of safety, why not allow more time to react to your surroundings, yes??
@mbcyclery If I were to take advice from someone I would want to take advice from someone with no accidents and also someone who has avoided many accidents and also someone with a perfect driving record. Humbly speaking...I am that person
@shockofgod wow man. whatever. keep riding 2 seconds behind people and this "perfect" record of yours will move you from the category of "WILL CRASH" to the "HAVE CRASHED." ill keep an eye out for the video that captures your failure to safely make it to your destination.
@shockofgod on a motorcycle?? unintentionally?? ZERO. on road bikes, bmx freestyle, mtb freeride, downhill, and xc?? over 25 years, far too many to count. the difference between us is that i'm not cocky, i ride as safely as i can on anything not powered by my person.
Shock...love your videos bro but I HAD TO UNSUBSCRIBE to all your religious rubbish...but I do pop in here and there to see your videos here ...and thumbs down here for the religious crap..sorry brother..keep riding and be safe.
Nobody can PROVE a negative, brainwashed fishhead.
Can't prove that Santa DOESN'T exist. Get it?
What has been proven is that the earth is a lot older than 6k years, and that man and every other living thing, EVOLVED. To dispute this, you need to dispute the science of DNA and Carbon 14 dating.
Organized religions are just cults with more members.
Seriously shock, you're a cool rider. But, it seems like you're trying to recruit me to become a christian, and no I wont be because of your pop-ups adds, acctually quit it with the christianity talk please. No offence but I subscribed to watch you ride, nothing else :) once again, no offence this is feedback
@shockofgod Lmao, so gods real hu? you didnt think about it very much did ya? you know why the bible starts off with just two humans, you know why they put in the story of noahs arc. because the backwards ppl who wrote the bible knew nothing of genetics!
@shockofgod also, ppl used to live till 900 years old, which is impossible, god used to show up all the time telling ppl to kill rape and destroy, whhc wudnt happen. also adam and eve only had sons, which means the human race ended there, or thay had sex with their mother, as she was the only woman! thru genetics that human race wud end after only 5 or so! also we now know how the solar system was formed, from a planetary disk around the young sun, this can be observed in space! bible = nonsense
@shockofgod ? No I agree with codypal55... No need to asume he is atheist, that was a little much. Although if god was trying to toss a metal pipe through your spokes best believe it's going in your spokes lol.
@mard420 hey mard420 I feel it is because of liberalism not so much the economy as I have seen other places that are less liberal like Idaho and their roads are gorgeous.
@shockofgod LOL, so true, in Canada, our roads suck, very liberal, but crappy roads. Eeverytime we go to the USA the roads are nicer, less liberal country, but nice roads. LOL Thomas Aquainas was liberal philosophy, but religious.
california freeways some are pretty rough, some got that real bad seam in the lane, that thing gets ugly for 2 wheels, be extra aware brother...stay in the car would ya ?
@nudracr That seam came from some younger cubicle jockey and their great idea to remove the emergency shoulder area and move the lanes 2/3rds the way over putting that seam in the lane just to gain one more parking lane in rush hour. Four wheels get stuck in a grove sometimes too on those sections where the two are at different heights. A small amount can make a big difference.
SOG, keep that distance more than 7 seconds (stop passing on the right, blinkers can break).
@Nephtali1981 You too Tali! love you brother (hey ever notice how atheists never say they love each other lol) that should say something about atheism right there
WOW!!! My friend was hit by a piece of rubber and it snapped his rearset right off. I can't even imagine what that would do. Luckily my friend was wearing proper protective gear, but he still ended up with a big bruise.
just imagine final destination 2 haha a truck drops them in front of ya that would be an accident waiting to happen

Get your weight on the pegs and get off the seat for more control if you do hit an object - keeps you (hopefully) from bouncing out of the seat.
