Feh. Ghost Rider is better. This guy pussed out when the going got tough.

Every time I see a video or somebody actually lane-splitting I have this evil thought....somebody please swing a door open. 

[chargerboy69]

Wow, that does look like fun.

why?

[Bobs69]

If I could drive a bike like that (it's good that I haven't learned) I'd strip down naked with just a pair of riding boots, helmet and possible gloves and drive right up to a cop in a speed trap.  Pull over and give him/her the finger, stroke myself a few times in his/her general direction and then crack the whip! 

Then giggle about it and possibly brag about it a few years later.

[1969chargerrtse]

why?

Because they are doing stupid dangerous things and need to pay?

you do know that in some states/countries lane splitting is legal right?

Sure. Teach 'em a quick lesson and purify the gene pool for only the cost of one car door.

That's ok, these idiots usually take care of themselves eventually. Too bad they often take innocent bystanders out in the process though.

Its a good thing i was never able to afford a crotch rocket when i was 18.

I wanted one and by the time I had enough money to buy one I knew better and stayed with four wheels rather than two!

you do know that in some states/most countries lane splitting is legal right?  albeit not at high speed, but the act is legal nonetheless.

also, more motorcycle riders are killed yearly by idiot drivers than drivers are killed by idiot motorcyclists.

I'd like to see a link to a story proving the picture you posted was an accident caused by the motorcyclist.

I don't particularly care for other motorcyclists splitting traffic when I'm in the cage, however, a big part of that is due to the fact that it isn't a common occurence for me, because it's illegal in Texas.  Most of the riders I know that do split traffic are younger and think they're invinceable; unfortunately you can't tell them anything because kids know everything.  Eventually they lose a close friend to something stupid that could have been avoided and then in a lot of instances they freak out and sell their bike, etc. etc.  Responsibility and maturity just can't be taught to a lot of these people, and they make life-altering mistakes.  I don't see that as a reason to actually attempt to kill them.

[nvrbdn]

my problem with it is that you get passed by an idiot like this as he's breaking most every rule on the road, and he has a big patch on his back saying "START SEEING MOTORCYCLES".

[chargerboy69]

Wow, that does look like fun.

Its a good thing i was never able to afford a crotch rocket when i was 18.

And I was able to and did have one, and did the dumbest stuff on that bike.  I thought nothing of doing 120 down the street I grew up on.

Of course now, when I would be a responsible rider, will the wife allow me to own such a item.  That would be "No".

[Bobs69]

I agree that when you are 18-25 or so with all that frustration in your system, you're more likely to be impulsive.

[bull]

I'd like to see a link to a story proving the picture you posted was an accident caused by the motorcyclist.

I really don't think I need one. Just looking at the pic I think it's quite obvious that the guy was doing well over just about any posted speed limit (other than the autobahn) to bury his bike inside a car that far. Don't you? Do you really believe he was traveling a safe speed to be able to punch his bike through the entire width of the car?

Here's another big jackass for you: http://www.snopes.com/photos/accident/tulsacrash.asp

I think it's stupid to defend these idiot punks that risk their life and the lives of others on public streets and think it's just good clean fun. If they were obeying the laws much of this carnage wouldn't be happening.

[twodko]

Ditto what Bull said!

if you're attempting to use that picture as proof of your statements, then yes, you do need one.

apparently you opted not to look at the link I posted, that's ok.  If most automobile drivers were obeying laws more carnage wouldn't be happening.  You post these shocking pictures and statements as if it's everyone on a motorcycle doing these kinds of things and don't care to look at the numbers.

anyway, you seem to be mistaking me as defending the poor decisions made by a select few motorcycle riders.  after rereading my post, I simply don't know what gave you that idea.

as far as speed being travelled in the picture, without a link to an actual story, you don't know where the  accident took place, or the speeds being traveled, or mistakes made by either vehicle operator that led to this outcome.  based on the cross-sectional width of the car and it's height i think it's possible that motorcycle could have been travelling much slower than you think.  but these assumptions are pissing in the wind without the facts.

feel free to keep posting pictures, but I'd be willing to bet for every idiot motorcycle rider picture you post, 2 idiot driver pictures could be found. 

you still haven't justified the attempted murder of a motorcycle rider.  are you sure you're not just pissed off that you have to wait in traffic while they're getting through?

what is with your hatred of motorcycles anyway?

[bull]

If you're really dilusional enough to be unable to discern that the rider in the above pic was going way too fast I don't think a link is going change your mind. Does it look to you as if he was doing 45 mph or something and the car just turned in front of him? The car may be a $hetbox but I know you can't cut through one if you're only doing 45, or 60 or IMO even 80. Looks to me like he was doing well over 100 and had no time to react to a driver that probably knew he wasn't there three seconds earlier.

Attempted murder? What are you talking about? You're missing the point. The point is that if anything out of the ordinary happens to this idiot in the youtube link, such as someone opening a door, tossing a banana peel out, turning left without remembering to signal, turning quickly to avoid a road hazard, whatever, he is screwed. And most likely a bystander will get hurt or killed and his property destroyed. You seem to think if any of these type of things happen, which they often do, it's the car's fault for being unpredictable. Yea, when you're riding at three times the speed of the traffic around you and three times the logical speed you should be going then you deserve the brunt of any unpredictable action that occurs within the 2/10 of a second you have to react.

[lisiecki1]

Sure. Teach 'em a quick lesson and purify the gene pool for only the cost of one car door.

^ opening a car door in traffic for no reason other than to screw with someone can be construed as attempted murder, that's what I'm talking about, that's what started this conversation.

I do appreciate the personal insults while trying to have a decent discussion, however, I don't think you'll get the points I'm trying to make so I am going to bow out and just say you're right, I'm wrong; let's get back to talking about chargers

[Brock Samson]

 Well I have to say I'm extreamly careful checking my mirrors for lane splitters as there's plenty of them here abouts and I've still nearly nailed a few,.. scared the crap out of me... and on the subject of the Video, did it look to anyone else like at the 3/4 point he scraped or dented  a few cars, one really bad?..

Sorry, man. I'm just the type who enjoys seeing stupid/bad/arrogant people get what they've got coming to them. Some people don't care for that attitude but it is what it is. I enjoy the concept of pedophiles, rapists and murderers getting strung up by their ball bag too. I was half joking when I wrote what I wrote above but the truth is I really would have liked to see the jackass do an endo. Would have served him right.

And to what personal insults are you referring to? If you think the rider in that pic above was traveling at a safe speed when he cut through the black car you are delusional or in serious denial. Not an insult, it's the truth. Can you honestly argue otherwise?

[RallyeMike]

Epic insanity, thoroughly enjoyed.

[Cooter]

Yeah, one of my buddies just had to have one of these things...He got it, and was riding with his GF on the back one day by the local fire station...

He said he couldn't figure out what they were waving and cheering at him about, so he figured they must be takin' bout his 'ol lady right? So, he pulls in and simply asked the guys outside "Hey, WTF? are you clapping about?" One of the Firemen stood up, extended his hand and said "I want to thank you for being an organ donor, you and your Girl"..My buddy just shook his head and rode off...Wasn't two months later, he wiped out and broke a leg, just like I told him he'd do...

[dstryr]

Just doing a standard head check you could completely miss a bike travelling 120+ and pull out in front of it.  One second a dot in the distance, the next...well, hope no one suffered long.

[SFRT]

no guts no glory.  

lane splitting: color me guilty. its legal here.

but,yes, should be done only when you have proper conditions...and only after a lot of experience. and even then, it's possible sudden death every time.tends to get you pumped during the morning commute.

[moparsons]

Yea...I thought so too. 

[SFRT]

on a serious note: I have been riding 1000 cc sport and superbikes since 1981 and still do so on an almost daily basis and theres a few 'rules' that if followed...reduce your risks dramatically.

1. never ,ever have a passenger on a sport or superbike. ever. period. single seat only.
2. keep it rational. upper level speeds only when conditions are perfect and you absolutely know the road surfaces. Keep the really nutty stuff for the track.
3.know the parameters of your bike and do your own maintenance. these bikes are designed to perform within very tightly engineered tolerances, and you should never make them do stuff they arent designed for whether it be wheelies, barkies, bizaare riding stances or non factory recommended modifications.

4. correct and properly fitting gear. ALWAYS.
5. always have a plan. trust no one on the road.
6.never ride in a pack. ever. go solo. the pack will fuck you up.
7. some dude wants to street race, let him. dont do it. want to race...hit the track.

I had one major wreck....years and years ago..on a track.

[bull]

Sounds like good advice.

Would you categorize this youtube guy as "nutty" based on what you saw? I wouldn't call it responsible by any stretch but then I don't ride as much as I once did (especially since I don't have a bike at the moment). I know guys who ride a lot and own several bikes yet refuse to enter traffic that thick at all, let alone jump into it treating it like a slalom course.

[SFRT]

he's stupid, as he WILL eat it at some point.

Swedens Ghostrider is a different story. that guy has some abnormal reaction skills. Suppossedly was a top level pro in his earlier days.

heavy traffic is something you get used to over time...I can almost always tell who is going to fuck up by the condition and make of their car, the times of day,the parts of town how they are driving etc. I always
give a green light an extra beat before I cross for the red light runners etc..after years of daily riding you tend to get an automatic sixth sense about things..and thats when you need to slow down and re-scan everything.

riding motorcycles is definately a thrill and it is a 'death trip' which is a major attraction...I cant fly fighter jets so...but, its not for every one.

the worst part of these sort of videos is that young dumb and full of cum sees it and thinks they can do it as well. guess again.

You tell em bull.
I've owned a bike since I was 14 and have been riding for over 35 years.  Sold my last bike back in 2008 to help fund the charger engine compartment and have no regrets.   My first car was a bike.  I drove it to work in the snow, if it snowed.  I had 5 Honda Gold wings.  Anyone driving through traffic between cars at any speed let alone that fast is an idiot and if someone should see them coming and take them down then I agree it's a sad time but, better than an innocent person crossing across and getting killed.  Title says's it all.  Stupid Moron!

[PocketThunder]

lane splitting: color me guilty. its legal here.

Can you ride the shoulders also or does the law only allow splitting between two cars?

[SFRT]

I think shoulders is illegal.

[bull]

And I'm just guessin here but I bet when you're lane splitting you're not supposed to be doing 90 mph.

[SFRT]

not in downtown traffic.

[Mrs.Caveman]

it was crazy iressponsible but fun to watch!he shouldnt have done it but it was cool!i ride bkes and had friend who passed away cose they were stupid!you sholudnt ride faster then your abilites let you!its easy to pull the throtle its the cornering and stoping that counts!
