When riding street especially in high traffic area, I try and focus completely on where the cages are and what they are up to. Too much shit happens with people getting plowed over.

How could he not see us he was right there and did you see the video ? there isn't any traffic.

Seriously how long have you been riding? Asking a question about how a cage cannot see you is like asking where the fucking throttle is on a bike.

Looks like an insterstate to me, I would consider that a traffic area.

Ive been riding about a year and yea i know cages cant see us that well but there wasn't another car for like a mile in front and behind us doesn't seem high traffic to me. maybe if there was actually cars in front of me and behind me i might say high traffic but there wasn't so no

Trips point is that the guy was in a large truck and could easily have hit one of you without knowing it. Most people drivers oblivious to their surroundings while driving. People on the interstate, especially those in the fast lane can be doing 20+ over the speed limit and plow over bikers easily. And a traffic area IMO is a place where traffic can go thru not just where traffic is going thru. A guy driving behind you can easily come up and pass at high speeds i.e. that truck.

Not to mention the fact that since there was less traffic the driver probably wasnt paying much attention. A big truck flying by you without paying attention, yeah, Im sure he never would have missed seein two bikes...

one of the FIRST days I was riding in ak... I was on the Glen highway its a 2 lane road each way that turns into 3 as you get close to anchorage...

I was in the fast lane crusing at about 75-80 when the road opened up to three... I had just passed this car about 1/3 of a mile back and had stayed in the left lane... so I checked my mirrors and moved over. the car I had passed was on my tail... so I figured hell I'll let him have a good run up the hill...

He gets 3/4 of a length on me and then starts moving over into my lane! so I honk and move over to the slow lane... slowing slightly to give some space... fucker KEEPS moving over... all the way into the slow lane! and because of the hill he was slowing a lot... so I got on the brakes pretty hard and let him over...

On the fucking back of his car is a big ass bumper sticker that's NEON GREEN and says... WATCH FOR MOTORCYCLES! so i figured I'd help him see me... pulled up next to him... moved in close... and put a size 12 dent in his drivers door... twisted my wrist and put a good 3 miles between me and him...

there wasn't another car with in 2 miles of us... and I had JUST passed him! wearing my NEON Yellow Icon Vest... so I have no idea how he couldn't have seen me...

Trip,

You need to hack the forum software so that anyone who creates a thread in the stunting forum immediately gets banned.

That way the stunting forum is a self-policing douche removal tool.

Respectfully submitted,

-CEO

Hey I posted a thread there I guess I should be banned. Infact,anyone who's posted on the stunting part of the forum should be banned. You know after reading some of CEO's recent posts,I think the best thing that can happen would be if CEO started his own forum with only himself as a member. That way he could enjoy the internet douche free!

I love when you get all riled up so easily.

The ability of riders to underestimate the complete lack of control, observation and care by other drivers never ceases to amaze me. I drive one of these:

Nine feet high, almost 7 feet wide, and 158 inch wheelbase, bright white; and I have people trying to merge me into the ditch on a regular basis, and I wonder "How?"

So, if you think that ANYBODY sees you on a bike, well, it's just a matter of time.....................
