    That was awesome. Should have been a 230mm grinder though, that would have fucked shit up. To bad they aint portable...

    Motorcycle in the wrong. Cock was lucky the car drive did not have a chainsaw on the back seat to deal with his ride!

    Watch it again.
    Hear, hear! This is a case of a serious lack of situational awareness onthe part of the motorcyclist.

    I'm with those who are not in support of the motorcyclist. What a cock. If he'd been looking ahead he'd have seen the crane, seen the car, been able to anticipate that the car would most likely pull out (and it wasn't wasting any time with engine pick up either). Seems to me like he was just pissed that the driver dared to pull out to avoid the crane making him have to slow. What a dork.

    That Russian needs to learn how to use an angle grinder properly. It looks like he's been watching too many Stihl chainsaw ads.

    The bike rider is a jerk. He cant ride for shit as he cant see whats about to unfold in front of him. He rides around with a camera mounted and his grinder at the ready and finally finds a victim. Now is his chance to film it and put it on the net. People will see this and see how much of a hero he is. What a wanker. Its a pity the driver didnt get out and re-arange his face and his bike with that grinder.

    the pussy should have used a shotgun to take the mirror off if he wanted to be an internet hero.

    Meanwhile, in Canada....



    Though the old dude looking up and seeing a helmet with camera attached is probably not the most forgiving site, I'm sure he was grateful anyway!

    ...btw, I have no idea if Canada or not.

    Very funny. The more I think about that possibility, the more it makes me giggle.

    All manner of wrong, but somehow right.

    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

    That thought may have occurred to the rider - judging by his hasty departure.

    The car driver probably did the right thing by staying in the car, approaching a guy who is wielding a grinder with intent could be problematic.

    A mounted camera, for insurance purposes, is apparently *very* common in Russia and is becoming more so here. I have read of camera use being advocated for urban cyclists in NZ.
