they didn’t blow by it, more like over it. sadlol

It amazes me how many people just dont see anything coming or think “what if that car did this”, every second they are behind the wheel or have their nuts on a gas tank. My mind is running faster than the crankshaft on the bike, watching and studying every fucking person out there when I ride. No lie, about every time I go for a ride, I avoid an accident. most would be minor incidents, probably not even any contact but still required evasive action and a neutral rev to get their attention… but some were full blow I would be in the helicopter again because of their stupid fucking mistake.

ride safe people, I dont want to read an “another one down” thread about my friends here.

The guy on the R1 posted on, I believe, Reddit, stating him and his buddy were fine except some minor injuries. The lady in the Mercedes was fine, and I guess her insurance is covering it but they aren’t taking any legal action.

He said they were speeding. Something like 80MPH, and he said he was “hard braking” and was around 35MPH when he hit the Mercedes, and due to such heavy braking, he couldn’t maneuver.
