I can personally think of at least 3 fatal accidents I have attended where the motorcyclist did nothing wrong and it was purely a car driver not looking. I have attended many where the riders have been travelling TFF too. As much as I'd like a motorbike I would never ride one. If I want a 2 wheeled buzz I go mountain biking. Yes I can fall off and break bones but don't get wiped out by oncoming traffic.

I think at least a warning of graphic content should have been in the title. Not an image I want to see nearly 11pm, and yes I ride a motorbike.Comment

I will always ride motorbikes, I've been riding them almost 50 years and I'm not stopping now.
If you don't want to ride motorbikes then that's fine with me.Comment

Irrelevant of the right or wrongs of the post, it does highlight how dangerous riding a bike can be. Even if some car drivers look at this and consider their future actions or even have a chat with some other people about it, it could well make a few people think more about their driving habits, how mirrors work and how advantageous defensive driving can be. A second look can save a life.
Sure, the video does nothing other than showing many people come a cropper but there can be some good come of it if people choose to view it correctly. I love a buzz. Skiing does it for me and mountain biking like Stephen says but you stand a very good chance of survival when push comes to shove. On a bike, it is a different story. Having said that, most motorcyclists know the risk, as do I. I would love to ride one but I have always managed to convince myself that it is a bad idea. Call it damage limitation if you like.Comment
