    The dork rider of the yellow bike was a total dipstick, deciding to accelerate and try and do a wheelie when the quad was already clearly in his vision going by that cam footage.

    Yep revving the shit outta my bike slows it down faster.

    Oh and don't worry about the person lying on the road. The bike is more important.

    They can be quite a handful to deal with on trail rides too. A friend broke 5 ribs when he crashed due to the actions of a poorly ridden quad. At least the environment is more appropriate.......

    Just watched the vid again. Is that blood coming out of the yellow rider's face/ throat? And he rush to pick the bike up?

    Ok, the real fucktard is the guy with the gopro.

    Agreed. I spent many a year doing trail rides and found that having quads at them was at times quite ridiculous as they are not comparable or compatible at all when the going gets tough but the dorks riding them don't seem to understand this and just get in the way. They don't lean like two wheelers on gravel roads and they don't stay upright when traversing sloping ground, that is going across the face of a hill. Going up steep hills they have a tendency to flip and then just tumble down whereas two wheelers mainly fall sideways and stop where they are. Then they are no use trying to go along a narrow farm track like sheep might use, they are just too wide and jam the track at the first time they find some bush either side totally clogging up the track.

    The best way to deal with the quads was to make sure you were always in front of them.
    Cheers

    ...or even just grinding two wheels off them so they have the right amount, and then they couldn't be out there...
