Good pick ,T.

Nosmo, you are absolutly correct. As a matter of fact those guys seem like real gentlemen. I just read the first page and nobody was as hard on the biker as we are. If it had been the other way around we would have crucified the car driver.

Though I did cringe at the couple of folks that talked about "laying it down".   ::)

Doubt that he was a newbie, based on his gear and bike of choice. What I can't figure out is why he straightened up rather than holding his lean and maybe squeaking by or at the worse low-siding. Brain fade probably. No sign of braking when he does straighten it up.

Neither driver was really hurt.  However...nobody cleaned up the fluids after the wreck. :loco:
Another rider nearly died when he ran over them later that day.
