It happened a while back......................I have no clue how they missed that car.

That's not luck that's skill!!

Looks like the car sped up as well

Electronic M · January 23rd, 2016, 12:04 PM

There were 2 girls on that bike too...............

greenaero · January 23rd, 2016, 01:30 PM

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.

verboten1 · January 23rd, 2016, 01:30 PM

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.

CC Cowboy · January 23rd, 2016, 02:39 PM

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.

Electronic M · January 23rd, 2016, 08:13 PM

Yeah, they would've done some damage to that car for sure.

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.

Not really, they weren't even fazed like they do it on a daily basis

"Luckiest riders I know" More like stupidest...

HoneyBadgerRy · January 26th, 2016, 08:46 AM

Was it luck, or was it mad skill?

allanoue · January 26th, 2016, 10:28 AM

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.

They were pretty lucky, it was a very close call.

MBZuki · January 27th, 2016, 08:21 PM

Looks like they locked the rear up and started to tail wag? Try and roll the dice again ladies...

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

Finesse · February 16th, 2016, 09:23 AM

Did she not see the red light or did she go through it on purpose????

Z1R rider · February 16th, 2016, 02:55 PM

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!
