This is classic a$$hat squid riding. Far too fast to react to the unexpected and didn't stay in his own freakin' lane because he was posing for a goddam picture.
Totally unacceptable. This guy deserves anything that happens to him. I only hope he doesn't hurt anyone else when it does.

It reminds me of one day when I was heading back to work after lunch, driving my '74 Vega, and a guy in front of me whipped a right turn into a driveway without signaling. I swerved left to go around him, and heard a faint "tick" as I passed him. He hesitated in the driveway and then continued. Apparently he heard the noise too. Another 1/16" and it would have been a lot louder.

Negative comments will be deleted? How is "Hey bud you might wanna re-evaluate your riding habits," a NEGATIVE comment?
I hope that when he inevitably dies from doing something stupid, it isn't on a bike so it doesn't contribute to the bad name the rest of us have to bear. |

Yeah; not wise going that fast on public roads, but I think he probably would've been OK if he wasn't also splitting his focus by posing.
