How to ruin a great day's motorbike ride

The Australian govt had a advert on TV that said: " Look left, look right look bike".
Unfortunately some car drivers still drive as though motorcyclists dont exist on the public roads.
"I did'nt see him" is a very common phrase.

Sucks for that dude. I'd think that being on a bike, you would be a little more careful of your surroundings.Then again, your putting yourself at more risk riding a bike...if you dont want this to happen drive a car; it's safer.

@dontbeapansy THe rider of the CRB1100xx with his son as pillion passenger was the last in a line of about 12 bikes slowing down and indicating that they were turning off the road into a driveway.

The fat little guy was a all night truck driver who was munching a hamburger AND talking on his phone on his what home when he decided to change lanes not noticing that there were large motorbikes in his way.

THis was a slow speed accident caused by fatigue and inattention on the part of the driver

This is why loud pipes save lives.

@RidX4Ricers : Loud pipes did'nt help the CRB1100xx rider when he was tailended by a fat little guy chewing a hamburger & changing lanes without looking who was in front of him

Most common excuse here in Alberta.I almost got smoked by a Hummer driven by someone talking on their cell phone.Worst is I drive a 7 ft wide Harley with a sidecar and she still said she didn't see me.So Sad :(

Shit mate, unfortunately thats pretty common here in NZ as well.

doesnt matter bikes trains buses construction tornado, cell phone drivers never see or hear any thing when driving .I would like to shove a cell phone up thier ass every time I see them on the road talking on the fucking phone. No make that a cattle prod up thier ass yep thats it.

@richy69ify Loud pipes are only really loud when you wail on the throttle. I ran my car for years with no muffler at all, straight pipe... and cops never even looked my way and no one complained, because I have throttle discipline when I need to be respectful.

@richy69ify lol. Well, I have loud pipes on my motorcycle. My neighbors haven't complained due to me respecting them. I don't come in late, and start hitting the throttle. regardless, they seem not to help as a precautionary method. Hence my accident.

@4ceens Sadly 90% of bikers fit noise pipes annoying anyone living within a mile late at night. How many drivers are tired due to lack of rest?

[richy69ify]

@RidX4Ricers Loud pipes lose respect and rights. Search google all you like there is no evidence to suggest fitting noisy pipes save lives. Only the ignorant ride with that attitude. Funny that all the bikers are wearing dark clothing, you need to be SEEN.

[dontbeapansy]

@couar351 yes. I run in to bikers for fun because I'm a millionaire...who cares about petty lawsuits that you file. Ooooo, you spent $10,000 on an ambulance chaser and only got a new bike out of it..your still a dumb fucker for crying about this and thinking that anyone cares about bikers. I see a biker and i think "hey, this guy/fat-chick must be in need of some attention...look how fuckin cool they are! SPLAT (owned by a semi)" game over pal, you lose that battle 9 times out of 10

[couar351]

@dontbeapansy .........so you're saying it's ok to be careless and not watch out for bikes? yea i have come across idiots like you........the liability is greater when you collide with a biker versus a car...think about it, it could save you a big lawsuit that could potentially risk your livelihood

[bucksblessed]

Wheres the part where someone beats the shit out of the fat guy and shoves the hamburger in his mouth, following up with a bunch to the throat?

[hunghuge12]

Bad luck mate. Hope everything gets better in time and the runts insurance pays out. I ride but it's not just bikes these idiots hit. I had one hit me in the back one day and say he didn't see me. I was in an 8ft high white box van. Some people are just unbelieveble.

dumb short fat froto sub human . liquify him into axel grease.
