Sorry if this has been posted. I just saw it. As many times as I watch it. I can not figure out. That first guy keeps blaming"That Hole In The Road." WHAT THE HELL.

I'll try, the first guy pulling over to let the faster bikes pass, didn't realize the pavement ended at the fog line (white line) the second guy in wrong gear possibly looked over his right shoulder to see what his buddy just did and also ran out of road. Just my guess. My BIL just about did the same crap on Iron mountain Rd. south of Keystone, S.D. Climbing a switchback, two up and trying to lug it going up hill, just barely made it.

Maybe I am arrogant. Just because you have big bucks to buy a big bucks Harley Davidson does not mean you can ride one. Those "riders" ? are a menace and danger not only to themselves but to any one else on the road. Hopefully their insurance bought the bikes and they bought a Prius.

Those "riders" are the reason the cost of insurance is so high. Riding a motorcycle well is a true skill that few possess vs the number of "licenses" issued. If someone can't pass their state motorcycle license test with the machine they ride most often, they shouldn't have a license until they can. That, in my opinion is the MINIMUM level of skill required to take a motorcycle out on the road.

I do want to see any cyclist injured. I do wish they were not hurt badly. Hopefully. Maybe they hung up their "spurs" after that adventure. And. They tell their grand kids about it. Or. Next time they might be so fortunate.

Looks like the second guy learned the ‘you go where you look” lesson the hard way.

Some people should not ride motorcycles.

Cash money says they're the people at a party or gathering that says "I used to ride, but people driving cars are out to kill ya', I had to lay er' down so I gave it up".
