Ouch! I played it a second time and when the driver asks if he is OK, it sounds like he says No in a high pitched voice.

Now Scott and Greg, would you really have hit that old lady?
Come on, she said she was sorry. What more can a guy who just had his motorcycle totaled ask for.

You know, he didn't say very much. So, I wondering if he smacked his package into the gas tank or speedo.

Yeah well... I believe my adrenaline would have been flowing and I just might have.

I suppose I would have told her to "put-up her dukes" before I took the first swing though... to at least give her a heads-up that it wasn't going to go very well for her. ;)

No not really... but I certainly would have had several choice words for her... she just might have rather been punched

Wow. Grandma might have been pushing up daisies after I finished with her. At the least, she wouldn't have any ears left.

I think that the lack of response from the driver is he was shell shocked.

Ah the disadvantages of a helmet cam. He had it all on tape and was lucky enough to still be alive. He didn't dare swing for fear of screwing up a massive lawsuit. Wouldn't want to be seen as the aggressor, don't you know. If it was me, knowing the video was running I would have been thinking about $$$$$$. On the other hand, if there was no video, a fast elbow whether it was male or female might have been in order. He was one lucky rider it could have been a whole lot worse.
