Electra Glide going down...

Yeah, the comments from inside the RV are great. "Why did they do that?" "Will they beat on us?"

For my money, there's nothing like prejudice and pure ignorance.

Bob, Also watch for tractor / trailer's going through the Dragon I've met them on two different occasions and they are taking the right of way on both sides of the highway. They cant stop because they would get hung up. I know the highway is a US route but, the Semi's should be detoured around that area (imo).

I find it very disturbing that everybody is crapping on the people in the Van / RV or whatever it is.

If some idiot on a bike when flying by me and crashed like this guy did...I would probably say the same thing the people in the van did. You need to keep your vehicle under control no matter what it is and if you try to pass somebody in those conditions than you gotta have a death wish.

Bikers have a bad name...and this sterotype is propagated for this very reason.

I really feel bad for the guy that crashed but it was his fault and his fault alone.

I agree... You can't help but laugh at the idiot, but can you imagine how stupid he and his buddies must feel? Hopefully he didn't get hurt to badly, and they all learned to slow their a$$es down on roads like that...
