Some car drivers don't give bikes respect, I had one woman on the school run look me in the eye as she pulled out in front of me even though I had lights on hi-vis vest on & I used my horn. She had seen me but still pulled out.
Its just a fact that on a bike, you have to ride as if no one can see you. I read all these comments about the traffic laws and what cars should do when...well at least half the people on the roads at any given time are drug/alcohol impaired, the rest retarded, so you just have to ride that way there is no guaranteed safety.
I think in that situation i'd have used the 1300ccs at your disposal rather than the brakes... drop a gear, gun it, get out of that lane. I'll go around someone 5x as often as i'll hit the brakes... Never know when there's a car following too damned close behind you or, like the one in front of you, not paying attention.
@tonythephatone and if the car saw the bike coming at him in the righthand lane and gunned it into the left lane??? Then ur fucked, so that is a dumb idea sorry.
@destined2sleep@destined2sleep talking to me like I don't ride... if you actually do own/ride that 657 on your channel, you know as well as i do that there is no way anything short of a professionally driven very powerful car is getting to the left side before you do. besides, at that point you're already turning left and can continue to do so, all the way into the shoulder if need be - where the dumbass isn't going to be going.
250r is perfect why is everyone putting it down what you got small dick syndrome and are afraid to ride a small bike with the way gas is fuck 600 fuck 650 fuck 500 and everything in between 250r gets 77 mpg don't quote me. to were as the 600 get like 55 ya i would rather have 77 than 55 plus i don't have to show off and drive like a fuck tard and pretend i have a big dick by riding a fast bike. like those guys that have huge fucking trucks but never get em dirty.
@trigun890 the 250 is fucking boring to ride. Can't have anywhere near the same fun on a 250 as u can with a bigger bike. So fuck ur 77mpg and fuck ur 250, lol.
top speed on my 250r is 110 and i have gone all the way up to 105 with an empty freeway and can easily outrun most of the cars safely, but really, hi viz does make me annoyingly visible at day and night so people are "forced" to see me. like driving with high beam 24 hours, hi viz does sound like a good option along health insurance, works with all the people who can see regular. except old folks probably. so instead of complaining about people not seeing you, wear fucking HI VIZ something.
that is the problem with all of you dudes not wearing any kind of hi viz items. i drive a green ninja 250r, full gear with hi viz green neon stripes and ICON hi viz helmet. never had a close call and i ride about 500 miles per week , 3 days of those 5o miles to school and 50 miles back. WEAR HI FUCKING VIZ GEAR.
@luisloks Calm down buddy lol whats the top speed of that 250r? lol cant really get into much trouble on one of those like the rest of us "dudes" that ride real bikes, even my girlfriend said that the 250 was too much of a bitch for her to ride. Tho i do like all of ICON's gear, hi-viz isnt for everyone. some people just dont pay attention, especially for motorcycles. i had to ride the sidewalk to avoid a t bone and i drive an orange CBR600 with an orange helmet. Culpret: really old lady!
I also have a FJR 1300 and i´m thankful for the good breaks (no ABS). They have saved me a couple of times.. I noticed there was no other option for you than straight breaking since you had traffic on the left side. Drive safely my Yamaha friend :-)
This is why I always stay left unless I'm turning at the next intersection, and flick my high beams on if I think an area looks sketchy. Too many people not paying attention.
@TheSentinelGuardian This is actually true... you should always be in the left lane, but the dangers are still the same... when you have on coming traffic turning right... :(
The only solution is to do what this rider did.. and pay attention! You have to ride like your invisible!
Definitely would've caught up to the guy and broke AT LEAST his rear window. But this really shows the danger of riding in that lane. They used to beat it into our heads in the MSF course that if you have no need to turn right within a few miles, you should be as far left as physically possible. Great breaks, and great paying attention though.
dang, I would have layed on horn but then again your on a motorcycle so I dont know how it is to drive and have close calls! that car was an idiot! nice reaction and capture!
Inglês: If the rider was on speed compatible (equal to the greater of cars) and the left, this scare would not have happened 50 miles speed is 125! Awake! It seems someone I know!
Português: Se o motociclista estivesse em velocidade compatível (maior igual à dos carros) e na esquerda, este susto não teria acontecido, 50 milhas é velocidade de 125! Acorda!!! Até parece alguém que eu conheço!!!
I had the same thing on my fireblade, the old boy said you "you were speeding " to which i replied o yea speeding was i?, so you must have seen me then?. He had no answer to that!!
Why I wish bikes came with proper airhorns, trainhorns, that kind of loudness. Why I am glad my bike is red and loud as it is....TOO many bad drivers on the roads....
ok.....! if u caught them a got in a road rage thing with them,,,, what not to say they wouldnt back over you and keep going?....on a bike you will lose! that why skill is so important , and gear !! ..... if your a 100% right you still can lose! ....................thanks ride safe!
I admire your composure here,in similar circumstances i cant help but chase and let the driver know how angry i am,by erm,various means.I know its not sensible but these lethal drivers need something to make incidents like this stick in their mind,hopefully waking them up to the dangers they cause for future bikes.
Seriously, that driver needed some communication after the fact. If you brought that video to the law enforcement agency in that jurisdiction, they may have issued her a ticket based upon the evidence of the video and your statement.
Lucky your reaction speeds and those brakes are great. Shame there are people on the roads clearly paying no attention as that is a really nice bike and would suck to get it damaged by morons on the road
A fucking bastard! Did you chase him and burn him alive? I recently got t-boned by a metermaid and ended up with fractures and bike getting totaled...
well i heard that her stupid vehicle got toppled over because of the impact. After 9 months, I still cant run, but other than that, I'm mostly recovered.
@manudath metermaid? you in court over that shit I hope... I'm not the type to sue and probably never will but I get nailed by a fucking ups truck or meter maid or something like that on my bike, better believe I'm getting paid...
Damn bastard. And even if you honk at him he simply doesn't care and continues forward. Those people should be sitting on the sofa at home and never sit on a car again.
You were ready; that saved your bacon as much as the ABS did. Good technology + good skill helps to overcome the idiot cager.
