^^That is some skill, but that is DAMN reckless. I would call 911 if he went down.

I HATE when there is a pack of motorcyclists that take up all the lanes, do like 45mph and cause this massive backup so they can practice.

I am not going to argue with you but honestly if the results of your wreckless driving end up in you about to die because the people who you just cut off could give a shit less about you, then yes that is part of the price you pay.

I have been riding off and on for a bit over 20 years both on and off road and although I have taken more than my share of risks I never took risks that put others in harms way (weaving traffic) and I always knew if I went down I was on my own.

If I ever go "reckless" I am not near others and know that if anything happens it is my stupid fault and can't blame anyone but myself.

Well some people have a conscience and some don't.

I do have a conscience. In fact I am probably more sociably responsible than you may think or gather from my posts on this board.

The difference is I can seperate myself from self imposed situations and their consequences.

If a rider were riding and went down and I saw it happen or was first on scene I would stop, call 911 and administer what help I could until help arrived.

If some dipshit blew past me weaving traffic and cutting off cars and then got into an accident then he was playing the odds and lost. It no longer is my concern because he gambled and lost and Darwin took what was his anyways.

I've seen people die in front of me, and I will not put myself through watching it again if it is a result of their own stupidity, because saving them now just means someone else will have to do it again at another point in life and it isn't fair to anyone involved.

this pretty much sums it up for me.

if I were to see an innocent rider go down, I'd be there to help without a doubt.

if the rider was the one to cause the accident and could have injured others due to his riding, I'd dial 911 and keep driving.






Now, if this same rider (that was blowing though traffic) hit a pedestrian in a crosswalk, do you think they'd stop and help? I'm guessing they'd flee if possible.
