    I’ve had many RTA’s, all the ones that fucking hurt involved some dumbass car/truck doing something stupid. all the ones where I ran out of talent just made good stories in the pub.Wear the gear, tell the tale.

    And drivers should be made to ride a bike, see how long they last.

      Sorry, I don’t need to ride a bike to know it’s a poor choice. I prefer to learn from other people’s mistakes, like this young man in the video.

        it comes from my flustration with people in cars who do not care about anybody but themselves. I’m hoping I didn’t break a rib and the blood is from a simple cut lip and that fucking u-turn-with-out-looking asshat is just looking at his torn off bumper

        The guy in the video is an idiot whos gonna idiot everyday, the bike wasn’t at fault.

          Yep, I get that. I’ve ridden double on a motorbike off road, with both of us being reasonably careful, corrected for the standards of the time and my youthful male recklessness. But trusting with your life that every other driver you interact with on every trip isn’t going to be like the last one you found sounds like a losing bet if you do it often enough. Like Roz said on Frasier…
