4 years ago i was rearended at a stopsign by an 18 year old comin off an interstate. I had cars in front and car to the side- it was a 2 lane off ramp

kid left 20 yards of skid in the inside lane; bounced off the guardrail on the outside lane. hit me and moved my roadking and i 10 feet; my left saddlebag impaled his radiator, he then hit the guardrail on the outside lane again and then the car in front of me...

I heard the kids brakes lock and had enough time to turn see what was happening and yell "OH ****"

Accidents happen in a split second there was nothing i could do; in fact i was near the center lane stripe debatin to lane split-legal in cali- because the traffic was so backed up.

Bullsh*t! You took it all wrong, man. That was some good helpful advice to anybody that wanted to take it. Maybe you should think about it next time you're at a stop sign/light. Might save your *** my friend. I'm sure he meant no disrespect to the fallen. Get real.

This was a good post. While tragic it has given all of us something to think about while we are out doing what we love to do. My son just finished the MSF basic riders course this weekend and after reading this post I asked him if they talked about watching your mirrors when stopped behind a car or where to stop in traffic. My son said that they did talk about it in class and that they recommended stopping to the left rear of the car in front of you. Riding season is here at last watch out for the cagers because they won't be watching out for us.
