Re: Yikes! Check ya chaps
Looks like a totally avoidable crash to my eyes. Hope he survived to ride again.

Re: Yikes! Check ya chaps
Ouch. Hope he's alright. I don't quite understand what he was doing. Was he going to merge two lanes over and realized he couldn't and slammed on the brakes after only merging one?

The guy in the crash posted on the video. He said his chaps came loose somehow and got caught in his rear tire locking it up. He was only merging 1 lane.

Re: Yikes! Check ya chaps
It's always amusing to see how people in cars react to changes in the flow of traffic.
That became a little more than an automotive cluster-f!*%. Really sorry to see that guy go down. It's a harrowing reminder of how quickly things can go from good to bad on a motorcycle. |
