    How not to group ride

    Taken from sport-touring.net

    http://youtu.be/cYFfUY9J1k4


    Someone help me with embedding please.

    Crazy parts are at 6:05 (tire blowout) and 19:05 (Head on with CHP).

    This stuff happend in my backyard on some of my favorite roads. With people on the road like this, how can I ever be safe.

    The worst part is how nonchalant everyone is.

    4 riders went down in one day! Wha? This group is a mess.... I love how they left the bike that got the flat in the middle of the road.

    Comments need to be approved on the video, no wonder there aren't hundreds of replies calling them dumbasses.

    haha...the guy on the v-star or whatever was able to avoid the downed bike, but not the guy on the ninja, when he flipped his bike by hitting the crashed bike...he also displayed his awesome fixating skills when he clipped the mirror of the speed triple at the first incident

    Target fixation at its finest.
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    Re: How not to group ride

    wow. these guys really didn't look like they were pushing it either. even in the first section at around 6:05, the guy following couldn't stop quick enough without smacking the front guy's mirror. Talk about riding within your limits. wow.

    Re: How not to group ride

    does insurance cover damage to the police car?
    Doc, riding IS my physical therapy.

    Re: How not to group ride

    Yep, insurance will pay for the damages to the police car. This was either target fixation or he didn't want a ticket so he slowed down (standing it up) and got a bigger ticket and a big bump to his insurance premium instead.

    If I ever unexpectedly see an officer I just ride it out...

    This video is a perfect example of why police cars are dangerous and should not be on public roads!
