Crash Proof Motorcycle
- Thread starter splat
- Start date
A crash-proof motorcycle is one with no motor (or no chain).
The most crashproof motorcycle is one that doesn't run. In other words a Harley is most likely to be crashproof of any type of moto.
He appears to round the bennd, see the cop and instantly lose concentration... dumping it and sliding across the road. Imagine if there had been oncoming traffic.
when they can develop a bike that doesn't allow the driver to drive in between cars stopped in traffic then they have something.
Say what? I'm a pretty cautious guy (at least on my moto) and I do that all the time. It's perfectly legal in California. Maybe not the safest thing ever, but neither is a lot of the stuff we do on two wheels.
^^^Bottom line: If you don't have time to stop, you are following too close.
Also sounds like a bit of user error there.

I'd crash her motorcycle...HAs anyone actually watched the video that I posted ?
Wait? Wut?
I was waiting for it the whole time!HAs anyone actually watched the video that I posted ?
As a motorcyclist, I'm fully aware that I could be seriously injured or die everytime I go out, I'm aware it could be my fault or that of others.
I see this as no different than any other activity.
I don't feel this way on a bicycle.
There are times I have the same alertness, but on long climbs, mellow fireroads, and bike paths, my mind wanders. I consider this a huge plus.
On the motorcycle, I try to be 100% alert, no distractions.
I guess it didn't warn him.
I almost hit a guy yesterday who was lane splitting at 40 mph through a construction zone on the freeway. I did the over the shoulder look, checked my mirrors and started my lane change (with turn signal). One second it was clear, the next the guys in my blind spot

1. I assume you don't see me.
2. I don't pass cars that are signaling.
In my experience it about 50/50 of guys who do it safely and idiots who think they own the road. I don't hold all bikers responsible for this idiots stupidity
Indeed. Funniest thing I saw all day!HAs anyone actually watched the video that I posted ?
I totally agree. At most it's just a matter of degree. Some people think riding a mountain bike is too dangerous too. And if you stay home, your house could fall on you.
Was that video a joke? Or did that actually happen. It seems like too much of a Fail moment for it to be legit.
On a side note, it reminded me of Wiley Coyote when he got done with the painting of a road through a rock, then is standing looking at the rock when the roadrunner goes through, and the bus hits him.
