    I like how he mentioned in his comment he'll buy a car next (I nodded)... but then someone comments, fuck that, don't buy a car, you should only be using public transport.

    Made a lot of sense actually... can you imagine the result if he was driving a car

    Yep. Should be banned from the roads for a display like that.

    I think 'satisfactory end' would have been more appropriate.

    I was surprised they didn't hog-tie him and return the favour...

    Yea.

    From the youtube video:

    Just crusin barely above the limit a Camaro slowed down without breaking so I didn't notice any break lights to catch my attention and on top of that I wasn't being aware of my surroundings and was looking to the right a little. At that perfect moment I realized how close the car got and it was too late. As I hit the breaks I looked for an escape, there was no way I was gonna make it all the way to the left and go around so I looked off road to the right and saw a parked truck and telephone pole and that seemed like a bad idea so i just kept on the brakes and tried to get as far right as I could and take my chances trying to skim by the side. as you see that didn't go well.

    What a muppet, even from sitting at the computer you could see that the car was up to something in the distance.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Ok, a lot of what he said is crap though. No way he was going to make it to the left? No option to the right?

    The muppet was paying no attention, saw the car waaaay too late, kept looking at it and slammed the brakes on...

    It may well have been the cage driver's fault ... but that doesn't mean the dumb and dreamy harley rider had to hit it ...

    Survival out there is the first consideration .. whose fault it is is only the second one ..
