Well, of all the dangers for us on the road... soccer mums in unnecessarily large 4WD's (SUV's, Toorak Taxis... you know what I mean), idiot drivers not noticing us... or ignoring us...
But a huge piece of construction equipment falling off a semi trailer? That's just not your day.
i got hit by a car today while riding my bike to school. luckily, i am relatively ok and only got some cuts and bruises. but, it shows how things can change in the blink of an eye.
as a general rule you try not to drive side by side with any vehicle, but statistically you are safer with a trucker than any random person with a car. but yes, its important you move past the truck quickly yet safely as they can have pretty large blind spots
I am so glad to see you get back on .I both ride Harley and drive truck everyone that reads this please be careful .That truck loaded is 80 k lbs of rolling hurt you ,and it cannot stop on a dime ,there may be loose pieces that could fall off.We do a pretrip inspection and a post but that may not get every thing .Ride safe
guess it's true. why do accidents always happen close to home? Because you know the way like the back of your hand so maybe you start driving a bit faster than you should? wierd.
Keep riding I did after I lost my left leg ten years ago, current ride is a 2010 FXDWG, fell free to message me if I can help in anyway, heres my latest clip I made, youtube.com/watch?v=E1MNyf9yKek
I drove a flatbed, I ride motorcycle, I know what they both are. When I'm on the bike I stay as far from big trucks as I can. When I drive the truck, I make sure the chains are tight.
I have felt a few rock hitting my windshield and bumper while I was driving my car, witch have scare me of driving my motorcycle on a daily basis. I always suspected those flat bed trailers transporting heavy equipment on track for most of those loose rock on the middle of the road, but this is off the scale; a large excavator!
@skullx546 Is just funny when a biker tries to explain the joy of riding. You just can´t. Either you ride and understand what I mean or you have to give it a try.
@scdeanor what do you mean piss off its true bikes are fucking dangerous! my friends cousin even says so and he rides one for transport. so far he has crashed 2 times...
I have a friend of mine who was injuried in an accident and lost use of both legs. As she is parilized from the waist down. She is back in the saddle riding a bike. She has a Can Am Spyder and carriers her wheel chair on the rear. The bike has a 990 CC motor with a semi automatic transmission and a hand brake that controls all three wheels.
You go girl.. My wife and I ride together on my Goldwing . Sorry for your loss by " I would rather die enjoying life than rust away in a rocking chair"
@ UltmtSniper ha sit right. every time you get on a bike you have to assume that you could be killed, and behave accordingly.
I have spent years racing and more dangerously working as a courier in Central London in the early 80's. If I get on a bike these days it's not about speed, but you know speed is one of the advantages you have with a bike, get out of danger, pass things quickly etc. Also. make sure you are seen, assert your position on the road. I'm no Harley fan, btw, but...
I drove tractor trailer for 10 years and I'm a rider too. No matter if a truck is moving or stopped; Get ahead of it fast and safely, stay far behind it but NEVER ride of sit along side it. Remember: There's the left side and the Suicide. Never trust a truck or anything else with more than two wheels. And something else I've always told others to remember: When you get on your bike, before you put it in gear and had out say to yourself, "Everything on the road will try to kill me today."
@UltmtSniper I live in the UK and i was always told to look at other road users as potential hazards! Especially car drivers as they just don't look or don't see you! Their observational skills aren't as good as a motorcyclists because a bikers life depends on it!
@UltmtSniper When I first started to ride on the road, my father said to me "They're all trying to kill you, you know?". I never forgot it, and managed to go thirty years without serious injury (so far, touch wood LOL). It's a basic rule every rider must know.
Poor Lady. I have seen a few dickhead truck drivers with excavators taking down power lines, getting stuck under bridges etc but never seen one loose one off a truck. Must be a real bright spark, hope he got a long holiday in the lockup.
As for the bike , rig up a brake like Mick Doohan had on his race bike operated by her thumb or a proportioning valve to the front brake aka Moto Guzzi braking system..Happy riding.
In the UK there is a bunch of guys called N.A.B.D. National Association of Bikers with a Disability They do great work supporting and aiding Disabled bikers get back on the road. They help get adaptions done to bikes for just such people as this young lady as their experience in the field is second to none. She should see if there is an American equivalent or contact them here I'm sure they could offer valuable advice. and no I am not affiliated to them I just know they do good for others.
Good luck to her. I was in a crash in '99 and spent 8 years in a wheelchair, while the hardware in my leg broke 7 times. It's still not healed, and will probably break again one day, but I had to get back on. I know a guy with both legs missing, and he rides a nice FL with a sidecar attatched.
As a truck driver & an avid motorcyclist so I think that would somewhat qualify me to give this small bit of input. STAY AWAY FROM THE BIG TRUCKS...PERIOD!!! It matters not if I'm on my bike, in my 4 wheeler or big truck. I try to stay away from 'em. If on my bike I visually inspect the big rigs near me and I will NOT ride next to 'em N traffic, nor will I follow 'em closely...ever seen those pieces of tire or steel brake-drum on the shoulder of the road, guess where they came from..nuf said?
@silveravatar cuz most of them are "posers" xD!!!....no rly they think theyre cool cuz theire riding a choppper.....i mean everyone is proud of what he has got but those guys think theire special...
@mrbagelsrgood Ya use chains on equipment like that, not straps...big ass chains. I drive a truck and ride and love them both, even though they just might kill me someday. You take a chance at dying every day when you get out of bed. Get on a bike and give it a try. take a chance at finding a new source of enjoyment, learn to ride.
There is an organisation in the UK called NABD National Association of Bikers with a Disability. There is one in the States too. There are devices especially manufactured for bikers who have lost limbs. The footbrake can be changed over to the good leg and a device fitted to chage gear from the handlebars. You don't have to be disabled to join NABD. All monies go to keep disabled bikers on the road.
You can also get a scooter. They have some high powered scooters on the market(i've seen some 600cc models) and the brakes, transmission, everything is controlled at the handlebars. Its a great alternative to someone who has lost a leg but can't NOT ride. It's always an option too.
What i don't understand is, why be angry at the driver? this report doesn't say enough about the nature of the accident. I mean, if it fell off the trailer, the crew loaded it wrong, which is not the driver's job.
@bigbengamer actually its the drivers job to check all straps and chains before departing, sombody screwed up, the driver could have been somewhat reckless or the chains and straps were not secured properly
Not necessarily. A chain is only as strong as its strongest link, and a chain can be failing without it being easily visible. They don't say anything about a chain breaking, but they don't say anything about the driver being reckless either. Her feelings towards the driver just don't make sense, given the way her story has been presented.
Why would she have to ride a trike? Isn't it the same configuration? Or would it be a balance issue? How would she use the rear brake? Ultimately, I see no reason why she couldn't ride. I hope she does.
@thelowmax they make braking systems where both front and back brakes are controlled by either the hand grip or the foot pedal, depending on how the rider has it configured
i wish you luck riding again your truley beutiful inside and out. ive lost several friends due to other peoples mistakes and its hard not to hate. you have the rite attitude.
This happened in Keokuk Iowa 20-25 miles north of where she lives in Quincy Illinois due to trucker not securing load properly. She now leads a support group for amputees. When I get well enough to ride again I will most certainly look for her . Maybe we can ride together and maybe her wonderful attitude will rub off on me. A fine example of harleys motto LIVE TO RIDE RIDE TO LIVE.
@xtpuller I'm origionally from Rushville Illinois about 45 miles from there or so maybe less. Take R67 N over the Illinois river and the next town is mine. I'm not sure what roads go to/from Rushville to Quincy it's in Schuyler County.
What the hell? Construction Equipment fell off a truck? Fuck, it doesn't matter if you are in a motorcycle or a car, if that thing falls on you, you're fucked either way.
My Harley is for sale. I used it 5 times. Too many idiots texting while driving. My life is too precious to risk it on a bike. You got a second chance. You should not risk it!
I am riding a Suzuki and a Yamaha, I was all for it to see my wife riding on her own, but talking to people that had amputations due to motorcycle accidents, now, I actually won't even let myself ride. Talking about texting, my co-worker was plowed by a teenager from behind at a red light. Imagine you are waiting at the intersec., next thing you know you are flying like a bullet. The back wheel of the bike was in the middle of the hood, he will never be able to walk without pain.
That really is a shitty deal. I've ridden literally thousands and thousand of city and country miles on different motorcycles and only been down once, and that was in the dead of winter on frosty streets, and I consider myself lucky. I'm glad you got back on the bike, all things considered it wasn't the bikes fault and it brings you so much joy to ride. Sorry for your misfortune.
si lla los as leido copia y pega esto en 5 videos mas o tu madre morirá en 3 dias, hacedlo por fabor mi a mi amigo le paso, yo lo e hecho pa que no me pase, por fabor acedme caso. esto es una maldicioooooon
If you dont get back on... you will live in regret the rest of your life. It had nothing to do with your ability to ride. It was a freak accindent. Not your fault. Go by another bike get a leg upand ride.
Being both a rider and Driver who has hauled Equipment, All i can say is remarkable, God was looking after you. Freak incident, good on you for forgiving that driver. Can't imagine living with that..
When you own a bike you gotta get used to the fact that one day you might be using some sort of walking aid or medical device attached to you for life. Its just the way it is
I didnt say it couldnt. What I said was, if you own and ride a bike, you gotta get used to the fact that one day you might be using some sort of walking aid or medical device attached to you for life. This accident has nothing to do with biking and could have happened to anyone but read my comment
she'll be riding again.. with all them customs around, wouldn't be too hard to shift/connect the rear brake to somewhere she can comfortably access...
Slow as shit you say? So what if it's not a Gixxer or a Ninja, there is something cool about cracking the throttle of a Harley and setting of car alarms three rows over in a parking lot.
I like bikes and I like Harley's but there is something to say about people that think it is kool to annoy other people because they can be loud. I think you have the wrong outlook on being a true lover of biking and cause other people to think they are a nuisance. Repect the feedom of biking and others around you.
I am by far not a harley fan, But props too the woman for not giving it up. My boy one legged Dave ride a raked out phsyco chopper with iddy bitty handle bars. An he has a prostetic right leg. An by the way, it is a kick start shovel.
Well, of all the dangers for us on the road... soccer mums in unnecessarily large 4WD's (SUV's, Toorak Taxis... you know what I mean), idiot drivers not noticing us... or ignoring us...

What the hell? Construction Equipment fell off a truck? Fuck, it doesn't matter if you are in a motorcycle or a car, if that thing falls on you, you're fucked either way.

Now you know why my bike is for sale. There are many idiots like this on the road. They shouldn't be on the road but locked up in a psych ward.

Heine maybe you should watch the video again. It takes that as she was riding the construction vehicle fell off the trailer.

My Harley is for sale. I used it 5 times. Too many idiots texting while driving. My life is too precious to risk it on a bike. You got a second chance. You should not risk it!

I am riding a Suzuki and a Yamaha, I was all for it to see my wife riding on her own, but talking to people that had amputations due to motorcycle accidents, now, I actually won't even let myself ride. Talking about texting, my co-worker was plowed by a teenager from behind at a red light. Imagine you are waiting at the intersec., next thing you know you are flying like a bullet. The back wheel of the bike was in the middle of the hood, he will never be able to walk without pain.

I live in redneck country where drinking and driving is all over. Combined with young idiots texting, no..... it's not worth the risk.

That really is a shitty deal. I've ridden literally thousands and thousand of city and country miles on different motorcycles and only been down once, and that was in the dead of winter on frosty streets, and I consider myself lucky. I'm glad you got back on the bike, all things considered it wasn't the bikes fault and it brings you so much joy to ride. Sorry for your misfortune.

If you dont get back on... you will live in regret the rest of your life. It had nothing to do with your ability to ride. It was a freak accindent. Not your fault. Go by another bike get a leg upand ride.

When you own a bike you gotta get used to the fact that one day you might be using some sort of walking aid or medical device attached to you for life. Its just the way it is

Not true, this accident could have happened to a cyclist, pedestran, or other road user, nothing to do with biking

I didnt say it couldnt. What I said was, if you own and ride a bike, you gotta get used to the fact that one day you might be using some sort of walking aid or medical device attached to you for life. This accident has nothing to do with biking and could have happened to anyone but read my comment

she'll be riding again.. with all them customs around, wouldn't be too hard to shift/connect the rear brake to somewhere she can comfortably access...

She can still shift though. All she needs is a hand rear brake and she good to go. Good luck and stay strong.

Slow as shit you say? So what if it's not a Gixxer or a Ninja, there is something cool about cracking the throttle of a Harley and setting of car alarms three rows over in a parking lot.

I like bikes and I like Harley's but there is something to say about people that think it is kool to annoy other people because they can be loud. I think you have the wrong outlook on being a true lover of biking and cause other people to think they are a nuisance. Repect the feedom of biking and others around you.
