Poor Handling from an HD at the Tail
« on: July 30, 2006, 07:23:47 AM »
Looks like he got a little target fixated in the curve but the folks in the cage are hilarious.  They must've been really high......   ;D

i rode the dragon the first of this month and it is awesome!!  and things like this happen every day, we came around one sharp curve and we saw bikes on the sige of the road and people running, but never really saw an accident,  :o but did see a lot of idiots going faster than there guardian angel could fly :-\

Only thing is... that's not a Harley. It says Yamaha on the bike!

Damn you have good eyes Snake, I can't read anything on the bike.
I did like the comment by a guy in the vehicle....."These guys are gonna beat our asses". If they only knew that probably never crossed any of the riders minds.

Why would he think that the bikers beat their asses?  The guy that went over the cliff was the moron who didn't know how to counter steer, properly apply the breaks (too much rear obviously...he locked it up).  However, at least he was wearing a helmet...which is uusual for a HD rider ;)

Hope he came out all right...

I understand the people in the van thinking they were going to get their butts kicked. I would like to see a post by the rider who went over, I'd bet it starts with some stupid cager in a van.The van did nothing wrong other than drive away from the seen of a crash. I will let them slide on that,due to the fact that they were afraid. Most of us bikers are very nice people, Some are not. Guess who the public knows about.

No, evidently my bad Dusty. I have sssslllloooowwww dialup and couldn't get the  movie to play, so I went to the guy'as website, and saw pictures of the Yamaha I have posted above grounding, throwing the riders and going over a cliff. I assumed this was what was talked about. I guess not, from what ya'll are saying. Still can't get the damn thing to play. 'pologize ya'll.

 ;D ;D I was wondering what you meant, Snake....  I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I thought I knew a Road King when I saw one.....

Try to save Target as.......  maybe that will help.

Some people don't have any business ridding. This kind of stupidity gives us all a bad reputation. My $0.02
