forgive me if this is a repost.

This is one of my biggest fears on a bike especially on "Motorcycle Roads" It has not happened to me yet, but I have been on 3 group rides where this has happened to guys riding in my group. Thankfully those crashes were no where near as bad as this one.



I always fear some motorcycle is going to lose his "line" and come flying at me as he target fixates on me.

IMHO, I am more afraid of this than a car in my lane.

O my God! Ive never seen anything like this before. It makes you think twice before you attempt to go out of your comfort zone/riding ability. Crazy stuff.

just awful. as soon as the rider filming tried to play catch-up to the bike that passed him, i knew it would get ugly.

SQUID ALERT!!
What a foolish rider he was, These people need to go to a parking lot and practice accident avoidance. Most people spook and then it goes all wrong. It looks like the first bike spooked him and he lost his line because of it.

The guy with the camera didn't even look like he had any good lines, he looked like he was going inside too soon. I knew as soon as I saw him passing the car after pulling off of the side of the road it was going to be no good. You guys ever look at Killboy.com? They have some good crash pictures there on Deals gap. There was a picture of 2 Harley guys they almost did what the video showed but made it. K

Passing on the middle line one thing, but that guy was almost in the farthest lane on the other side. Wtf! Hope there both okay, but more for the other guy.

Its dangerous enough without being stupid. I hear its totally safe on the couch though. Maybe they both should have stuck to playing Tourist Trophy instead.

Gullwings, Tracker Trucks...

Now I know who is about the same age as me on this board! : ) I was wondering how tight their trucks must have been to avoid the death wobble. Old School.

Depends on what you're doing, I always had a truck wrench with me!
Skating downhill= tight
Skating around on a patio= not as tight
Skating in a park with half pipes and banks, curves, and ramps= tight just above loose.
Grease them bearings
