waitemike85 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 So this happened to me a few days ago before I was on these great little forums.I was out riding with my dad(who happens to have a big boring Harley but thats neither here nor there) and we were in a 55mph zone and with no effin warning some jackass decides he is going to just suddenly stop for no apparent reason no turn signal or anything.And im a good distance away at this point but when someone goes to a dead stop from 55 it kind of takes a lot for you to stop.So I hit my breaks and they didn't really seem to be helping so I squeezed/pushed on my breaks a little more and my back tire locks up and shortly after so does my front and up the back of the bike goes and I come about 2 feet from running into the back of the moron in the truck.I was fine just a it shaken up.Oh and the dude in the truck just kept on his merry way after that he didn't turn or anything , just kept right on going like he did nothing wrong.Now im sure I made some newb mistakes in that situation but I guess that is going to happen with a new rider.Just how everything happened really pissed me off,I really wish people would pay a little bit more attention to their surroundings so stuff like that didn't happen.As we all know though is that just isn't reality and people don't give a damn about anyone but themselves.End rant.

Cdubyah Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 You kept from hitting him, so that's a plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tblade Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 not sure, but technically he may have been in the wronglearn to swerve and avoid obstacles.. much easier than hard braking to a dead stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 There used to be a guy on the East side of C-bus that would try to tag cars and bikes behind him by doing a sudden stop. He eventually did that to the wrong person, and he got arrested. I guess he was charged with "being a nut case". Supposedly he really didn't like tailgaters, but his interpretation of tailgater seemed to be "anyone behind him that he could slam the brakes and piss off".
