That was just stupidity in my opinion, way too fast to approach an intersection. It's riders like these that keep the body count so high in our sport.

That's luck, because they were running red lights. I don't understand why people feel that they can stop traffic like that. They are 100% in the wrong! And can cause accidents, as seen in the video.

There was at least 500 pounds of human on that bike. With that momentum there was no way for that bike to stop. If they hit that car they would have totalled it.

I agree the lights were red and it was luck (or just not their time yet). I hope they learned something from that, like paying attention.

Dumb luck and bad skills.
That rider is not long for this world if she keeps making decisions like that one.

Riders/videos/behavior like that is exactly why motorcyclists are hated by other motorists on public roads.
They should not be considered examples that should be followed nor celebrated as "lucky" or "skilled". When accidents do occur, they are exactly the reason moto/auto insurance cost so damn much. - Last futzed with by "A"; January 27th, 2016 at 06:43 AM. |

They will not get many opportunities like that. Those are the kind of riders that give the rest of us a bad reputation.

If you back it up and watch the video from the start, lots of red light running going on by the whole group. Keep pulling the tiger's tail and you'll get the claws!
