And then they just drive on? WTF...

Still, that rider SUCKED...he could have easily made that turn if he'd just LEANED a bit more than 10 degrees.

1) the harley rider is retarded
2) I don't care what anyone says, the tail is NOT a place for a cruiser. cherahola (sp?) falls and other less curvy - more scenic roads are where these dumbasses should be. the tail has 1 or maybe 2 nice scenic areas. the rest is trees.
3) WTF is with the truck driver. the video isn't very long, but if people are lined up behind you (esp someone as slow as the hog rider) pull the FSCK over and let them pass - also is that not considered leaving the scene of an accident.



the harley rider did what the msf says - straighten up the bike and brake as hard as possible. Personally, as more of a sportbike rider, if I wreck on a curve it will be at FULL lean - I mean kickstand and every hard part scraping. I'd rather lowside or possibly make it than definetely wreck with a possible high side. IMO that is a huge problem they teach. maybe in chopper days this works - but imo not irl

omfg after hearing that video (I only watched it, didn't listen until now)


If they were worried about getting their asses kicked when stopping - did they not consider what would happen after getting caught now that they left? stupid. absolutely fscking stupid. ugh

I will never ride the Tail on a cruiser. Hell, I scrape the crap out of my pegs and pipes just taking a clover leaf too fast.

Yea, stereotypes FTL

Heck there have been 18 wheelers on the tail, so common sense doesn't apply there. When we ran it in my brothers 911, we got stuck behind some old couple doing 15mph

only if you are involved in the accident- otherwise you can go. The dumbass harley driver is the only one clearly at fault here.

Wasn't his fault. Why stick around if you had nothing to do with the accident? I can't tell you how many accidents I've witnessed but haven't bothered stopping for. I remember watching a little Honda coupe slam into the center divider and come to a stop in the middle of the 5 freeway in Orange County. Happened right in front of me. I slowed enough to avoid hitting it but as soon as the car came to a stop I just drove on home.
