Haha, read what the pricks are saying about the SUV driver, acting like it was their fault. The dude probably thought he was gonna get a hiding from all the bikers so carried on driving!

haha you havent tried that on the volty (on purpose) yet have you?!

**MarkyMark** · 19th May 2009, 18:12

Wow, plenty of blame to go around. The biker is obviously a dickwad, but technically the SUV should have been able to stop, if the biker had stopped for a legitimate reason.

nah 100% the bikers fault.

but the cage driver should of stopped if he wants some money for the damage to his car!

While I played Katman with a comment on that video... He was following pretty close, it's just that it was such a blind corner.

Having said that, I was recently in a big dirty Nissan SUV thing the other day, and apart from the weird feeling that was made (as if the SUV slowing caused the earth to spin faster/slower as a result.) when he almost stopped on a dime at 40k's to avoid some little Charade, they can brake pretty hard.

what a dipshit, blind corner, tshirt, jeans and sneakers, I'm actually amazed he had a helmet and gloves

**Metalor** · 19th May 2009, 20:40

Yea well at least he had a helmet I guess... otherwise he may not have got up so quickly from that little excercise. And really, who's going to slam the brakes on going round a corner like that? "Brake on the straight before it's too late!" Could've skidded onto the otherside of the road and potentially into oncoming traffic.

My favourite is all the idiot youtube warriors' comments.

Haha hey dude! Yea, I found the old Volty couldn't really do it with the standard factory brakes so I put dual discs on the front, 4 piston calipers and some braided brake lines just for good measure. Works like a charm!

**h_tron** · 19th May 2009, 21:07

haha i bet! you still on the hunt for an upgrade?

**Metalor** · 19th May 2009, 23:25

Yea man, still lookin. Hopefully will have the funds by monday then I'll be able to make a decision! I reeeeeeeeeaaally want a Hornet but my 'thinking' part is telling me to go for something a little cheaper but I hate listening to it...

There's some nice RS250's on TradeMe at the moment, you big girly-man.

Looks like the driver would have been distracted by the other bike doing a stoppie in the other direction. At least they slowed enough to make sure the biker got up before running off.

What a dumb thing to do on a bike!
