Default Jay Leno bike crash

I just saw this on the morning news. My first thought after why is he riding with some show off azzhats is that the one who caused the crash wanted to be on camera with Jay- well, they got thier wish.http://www.tmz.com/2012/10/23/jay-le...rash-accident/ Should be yet another video on "MSF - How not to ride "

How about the guy in the right lane who passed the truck while in the same lane??? Great example of why I don't do group rides.......

I was thinking the same thing - that would have been my vote for stupidest move until the two-up jerk comes up at 25 MPH over everyone's speed. And no-one is in alternate formation or using the two second rule.==
I do plenty of group rides and feel I'm quick enough to stay out of trouble- knock on wood- but I always wonder why at a charity ride they don't go over group safety and tell people if they don't follow rules they won't be welcome, I think that would save lots of grief.

I heard someone's tires chirp.

Either way, what a ********. Great example of why I don't ride in groups.

We need the CSI team to check out her right hand mirror and see the swerve right before the carnage.

Wow that ride was full of idiots! Not sure how they figured that it was womens fault with the helmet cam? Looks to me like the idiot behind her was going to fast and was distracted by the car on the right.

Weird thing is they apparently blamed the girl filming - I think video proves she did nothing wrong, why she waited this long to release the video is beyond me- they banned HER from future rides- go figure

prime example of knowing who you are riding with.
viewed the video and saw the biker come from behind and hit the biker on the right side.
would like to know what he or she was thinking ?

Looks like several lousy riders in that group. I rarely ride in groups. To many idiots interested in showing off and not enough concern for safety. The older I get the more conservatively I ride. To me bikes are not the place to get in a hurry. I want to live to ride another day.
