This is why I am hesitant to buy a small car for my family ...

Why not take this type of activity to the track?

Are we having fun yet? I could hear the bicycle riders chuckling to themselves as they rode past the crash...

There's a crash? I guess I'll need to keep watching.

Could have been way worse. Lucky to walk away.

Crash? I only watched 2 mins and got bored.

Dude's lucky he hit the retaining wall or he would have gone over the side. Said he'd just broke his back 2 months earlier. Moron obviously didn't learn any lessons, did he?

go for about the 8 minute mark.

Cindy & I were coming home from the coast over the Alsea Higway in the Ranger a few years back...glad I was waching my mirrors. Was able to take a far right line through the next sharp left as a bike ridden in a similar manner passed. After that, I kept looking for a hole in the brush...never did see one, not that a bike would leave a very big one...

Yep...the rider in this video is lucky to have escaped serious hurt!

PLUS rep to Higgins for incorporating the word "ass hat" into a sentance!

I saw a Renault 5, that was in France, for those who want to link that to the "Where is France" thread. (Yeah, I am a traitor ).

I'm trying to decide of that was asshattery or douchebaggery.

I would say asshattery with a dash of douchebaggery for blowing past the cyclists and having recently suffered another major accident.

Im also with sniper on putting the guy on a wall overlooking a cliff. Its lucky he didnt lose consciousness and flip over. I saw a kid jump up after being hit by a car, say he was fine then fall directly onto his face after passing out.

After less than thirty seconds I was waiting for them to come around a blind curve and have to change lanes to pass a winnebago, ending in a head on with a passenger car.

Skillful MORONS. God must favor fools.

Nope.

Heh heh heh... looks like the one guy saved you the trouble. Wonder how hard a guy has to ram the back of the tank to leave a nut print.

Souped up Ducati ~ $5,000
Digital camera ~ $200
Gas ~ $25
Having your left nut printed on the gas tank: Priceless.
