I doubt he travels that patch at excessive speeds for awhile. Hopefully lesson learned.

Yeaaaa he's pretty lucky. I never go that fast in the presence of cars for that reason. I only do that on stretches where there aren't any turn offs and when no traffic is around just in case the car im coming up on is a cop lol Glad he didn't wreck though.

Cage drivers do some dumb shit...for sure.We can't imagine it...but they can't sometimes judge a motorcycle's speed...crazy I know...but that's an example right there...sheesh.I slow down a bit,flash my pass lamps several times on approach(if there's a left turner there),and cruise on through(if safe).Also try to go through in the right hand lane on a 4 lane.Shadowing a truck or vehicle always works well.

That vid looks remarkably like a near miss I had several years ago on my 07...except the guy made a U-Turn from the right shoulder into the right hand lane(crossing to go the opposite way)...just missed his frontend..could have reached out and touched it.One second further...I'd have nailed his front driver's quarter panel.Crazy...just crazy...be safe guys;)

What an asshole, driving twice the speedlimit in traffic passing cars, why do you think cars hate us. He won't be around long thank God.

"What an asshole, driving twice the speedlimit in traffic passing cars, why do you think cars hate us. He won't be around long thank God."

True to a point, BUT they also hate us because we can legally get in front of them (at least in CA) and speed doesn't always have everything to do with it, I was going the posted speed limit, and some stupid lady at a STOP SIGN pulled out right in front of me, if it wasn't for my 30+ years of riding, I would probably be dead! or paralyzed.

And I certainty don't wish death upon anyone for riding a bike at high speed .....
