no :rockon:Am I the only one who noticed the nice set of boobies?
nope and she was helpful too all up in his shit haha!!!Am I the only one who noticed the nice set of boobies?
well it all depends on what you do in those few seconds!!!I've been able to avoid a lot of near-collisions. I'm not avoiding that one. :-(
easy killer!!!:rant:*pat* hahaThis video is of Dawn Champion, i found an article about her, bravest women I have seen riding!
Reluctant road warrior | champion, says, one - News - The Orange County Register
She's truely an inspiration to me, what is hard for me though is this is how we crashed minus the car doing a 180 ours was a guy pulling across traffic from a median, and couldnt make it across. She did everything she could, and that's that.
Oh and the idiot in the civic pulled his emergency brake, thats why he spun out, obviously grabbing for his phone, which i hope the insurance company slammed him! makes me sick seeing his reaction getting out of his car WITH his f*ing phone in his hand (again like our accident) and immediately BLAMES her, typical....ugh I cant even watch this video again without wanting to beat his face into the ground!!!

Took the words right out of my fingers!Now don't get mad CC....
I hate to say it CC but I have to call BS.....
There is no way you would have seen it coming in real time. Armchair QB and replay the scene 20 times to make up your reasoning does not work in real time. The biker was in a shitty position in relation to the cars and we all are in that position for short periods..the difference is that we don't sit there and stay in those places where we have no exit strategy. You and I would have already changed our position in traffic before that car went sideways.
Lets look at your reaction...the downshift after noticing anything would have locked up the rear wheel and you would have been rear ended before you could have low sided behind the silver car. You ain't knee dragging on a straight freeway at freeway speeds....not unless you low side....
The way you talk about driving..Downshifting, slapping the brakes, trying to make emergency turns and downshifting and WOT when there is a possibility of something going wrong? That sounds like some of the most dangerous driving I've ever heard of. And I thought I was a maniac.....
Naw....think about it..if you really drive like that and react to every possible danger as you describe, you should not be on a motorcycle. You DO NOT have the reflex of a cheetah or the strength of a gorilla and driving like the way you describe leaves a ton of room for a mistakes on your part. Remember that one small mistake usually is the beginning of a chain of mistakes that causes an accident. You end up over reacting to a small mistake and boom....you are dragging knee and the side of your bike on the pavement.
As a great example....watch those Police rodeos where they maneuver between the cones. There is even one with a CBR but they do this at 2 to 25 mph. How fast was she going? Get the point?
Bout the only thing I saw might have worked was if she popped a wheelie. It looked like there was enough room for a tire to make it. (kidding)
CC how long did you study this vid. haha j/kAt 7 seconds if this person was watching their surroundings they had enough time to move to the right behind the silver car because you can see the car start to shift like something is wrong and they could have gotten behind the silver car if they let off the throttle. at 9 seconds you can tell its already to late, they are to firm into the throttle and not paying attention to their surroundings....then @ 10 seconds he finally reacts. You need to be observant and always on your toes watching/reacting to your surroundings and he was not, and it nearly cost him his life.
She may have been a great racer or rider but her positioning in relation to the cars was less than desired.that article really talks up her riding ability. sounds like she knew how to ride pretty well at the time of the collision.
Thank you. That's what I was afraid of.To the OP? I'm sorry, man. I just don't see anything the rider did wrong. Sometimes bad stuff happens. I've been riding since the mid '80's. I'd have gone down in that situation, too. I'd have gone down differently, but I'd have gone down.
This is absolutely incredible... I know Dawn. We took a programming class together in college and worked on a project right here at my house. I'm going to send her a message. SUCH a small world! Glad to hear she's ok. Thank you SO much for finding this article!This video is of Dawn Champion, i found an article about her, bravest women I have seen riding!
