Audi Head-on Crash vs. VFR800 Interceptor Motorcycle in PA

[thefrostflyer]

We have a road here in northern Michigan M119 (the tunnel of trees) it is a beautiful road it looks a lot like this road only a little narrower. I do not ride it any more. To much debris and to many sky larking tourists not paying attention or just not caring what they are doing! It looks like you must have been on your toes with your attention on the road. ; )

this video should have a different name, like "Near Head-on Crash Audi vs. VFR800 Interceptor Motorcycle in PA"

Why do you drive around at 6k rpm, You're wasting alot of fuel :( ? I'm normally around 3-5k Rmp in 6th gear at that speed :o..

Also, the Audi is passing a bicyclist which is why he is in your lane. I see this video as a cry against bicycles in traffic rather than an idiot driver in your lane. I have dodged many close calls because I ride away from the double yellow, besides the brief moments before entering a right hand corner.

@Eagle10s The issue in this area is that we must ride the left part of the lane. This road, in particular, has the right part of the lane falling off into the grass with many potholes and loose asphalt. The center of the road is very slippery with a good amount of gravel and vehicle fluids (oil, antifreeze, etc). The usual. Most all roads here in PA are this like unfortunately.

[Eagle10s]

Stop riding the double yellow?

close call man glad you and the viffer are in one piece.

If you look, the guy was moved over to pass a guy that was on a bicycle so most of you are being assholes and not actually -watching- the video. The guy was just doing the right thing, and the poster dodged the car. Happy ending.

@ravicwannabe In this situation I have the right of way. The Audi is required to stay on his side of the road. If he cannot safety pass the bicyclist, he needs to slow down until there is no oncoming traffic. Had I been in my cager, this would have been a severe front end MVC.

[ravicwannabe]

@BadAssXJ

Fair enough. He may not have seen you, but oh well. You're right. :P

[stickshiftsonly93]

great skills/reflexs man cuz that was close glad your ok

[sspddmon]

Looks like Rt 100 west bound just past the DE / PA boarder. I loved driving that road when I used to live out there. Gotta watch out for the assholes like that Audi driver though. Another fun one to take is Rt 82 from Rt 52 in Greenville, DE to Kennett Square, PA. Tons of twisties and elevation changes unlike the boring roads here in Michigan. I miss home... :(

action at 2:27........Ida beat that muther fosho

[CosmoxYRik]

That made no sense at all, he wasn't passing anyone, just driving on the wrong side of the road for no reason.

[dickdog75]

nice move with the audi! what an idiot! nice driving on your part

[ProGAMER24]

that scared the shit out of me and im at my computer

[satrianman]

I have the same situation on motorcycle with audi and cyclist to! haha

Watch for the audi ;) and every cars that want overteake som slowest road user!

[moonshinepz]

looks like the car was trying to make plenty of room round the cyclist he was overtaking (you just get a one two frame glimpse of the cyclist) but not paying much attention to oncoming traffic, which is a sad mistake. They usually misjudge an oncoming motorcycle's speed unless they also ride a bike themselves. Could have been nasty. Bet the pook fecker on the bicycle shat himself as well, he almost ended up as sandwich filling.

[Nitrousx]

so sad we have to share the road with these idiots...you reacted nicely though.

[contractkiller27]

wow my heart even skipped a beat

[scott88060]

Dumbass with audi car! He may kill you :/

[we3jeepers]

I would have chased him down and beat his ass!!!

[dirtdivaPA]

dangit!!! maybe he was looking to pass those cars in front of him. jerk. glad your ok!

[whatevahxj]

That was part of my route to work every day. Usually it's only a problem in those 2 curves. It's not even a one lane bridge, though. Just looks like it due to the curve. Not a problem if you stay at the speed limit, even in my Jeep, but most people just can't drive.

[davem3fan]

one lane bridge incident was not cool!
