Biggest lesson for me is, doesn't matter how long you have been riding, how good and safe you are at riding, doesn't matter if it's a 5 minute ride or 5 hour. Always wear your gear because there are plenty of idiots on the road that can end you in a blink of an eye.

[@danielell3043]

@@andrewramirez6206 The rider had difficulty with speech. He was slurring some of his words. In the video provided it did not appear that the individual's head struck anything. The rider had difficulty with simple problem solving when attempting to move the bike. Based on my training and experience I would recommend that the rider be arrested on suspicion of intoxicated driving and transported to the hospital by EMS for medical evaluation and a blood draw. I would then take out a warrant for medical records in addition to a search warrant for blood in order to do a full toxicology screening. I would then base charges on the results of that and or admission of guilt. Is this better?

he actually bailed perfectly though, that was the difference between a few road rash scrapes and full on blount trauma to his body and organs, thats what gets you, and when he realized he couldent avoid contact he bailed to the side. Im more impressed than not

@@danwood4750 i ride motorcycles dawg, ive done alot of research on defensive riding and what kills riders the most, its always best to slide out or bail before making contact because like i said, blunt trauma is what kills most riders in rider deaths, so actually maybe the people who dont own and ride bikes watch the space X bulslhit which i didnt know about and maybe i actually know wtf im talking about ☺️

The bike frame will be bent, its a writeoff. He might owe a couple grand on taxi repairs too. Its an excellent lesson for him, dont ride too fast in traffic when your skill level is terrible.

[@martinsk7232]

@@wizrom3046 i think he didn't slam the front, but the back, that's why it wasn't stopping, but sliding. You can see the marks on the road. You can see hes a beginner because he panicked and tried to lay it down (i dont know why some people say this on forums and videos, its just wrong). Should have used front more, then just let go and sway to the right, it had no cars.

Hey was so happy to talk to another rider, seems like a newer rider that made a mistake. Glad he's alright and I'm sure he learned a lesson hopefully he didn't give up riding. Yeah wasn't a smart thing to do but I still respect him and he probably respects the road and the bike more now as well.

[@roxiereign]

The lack of gear combined with the completely ignorant and foolish riding style is the perfect recipe for something like this to happen. Thankfully he was able to just get up and walk away with very minor injury/injuries. It blows my mind as a rider myself how people feel so comfortable and confident doing this. Hopefully lesson learned.

[@warped1589]

Alright i need a ver detailed description of what this dude did wrong. New rider and it's looking to me like he crashed for no real reason which is terrifying.

[@roxiereign]

@@warped1589 3:27 was the biggest foreshadow. He’s driving like a dickhead. Lanesplitting has its place, but to be doing that in a crowded place like this where cars aren’t looking for bikes, aren’t expecting a bike to be cutting them off from their left turn, low visibility as it is, and so forth, it’s just asking for something to happen. And when the actual crash happened, he rammed into the back of that car. Slow moving traffic that is stop and go, and he’s going considerably faster. Always ride like you’re invisible, and ALWAYS have an escape route in mind for when something goes wrong.

[@sheepinwolvesclothing1135]

​@warped1589 looks like he accelerated, then saw the cab, he either locked his front break in a panick, or squeezed the clutch and stomped on the back break thus making the bike slide since the bike tire lost grip and power or a combination of all, either way ride safe and not like this guy 😅 😅😅

Dude still probably owes like 20K on this bike. Speech through traffic in a dense zone where people ain't paying attention.
