Not only did he wreck his own bike he took out the rider on the Honda and the innocent guy is still on the ground while the moron is walking around.

I hope he got his ass whooped and he loses his bike.

I got the sense that this was a group of like-minded riders.  Unlucky for the rider who became collateral damage, but there's a sporting chance the IQ wasn't too far above the median.

Why do I find it difficult to feel any sympathy for this pack of retards? I find it particularly galling that while they are all leathered up they accept, and probably demand, that their female companions wear skimpy clothing. Hopefully seeing laughing boy all rashed up and broken might get them to reconsider hanging out with this bunch of knob-jockeys and losers but there again the fact that they're there at all probably shows that they aren't in the upper echelons of Mensa.

Faqtards, every last one of them! Showboating and stunt riding does not belong on public roads.
I do appreciate a good show put on buy a talented rider on occasion (on a closed course) but these dim witted retards are not only a menace to society but to the motorcycling community as a whole. Do you suppose the general public thinks of the ATGATT rider when they see any motorcyclist, or the ballslapper that makes a spectacle of himself going down the road?
I do feel bad for the rider behind who took the hit though. However, if I saw a bunch of equine excrement going on in front of me, I would give a little bit more room to find an escape route when the need arose. 
I don't think the entire lot could muster enough IQ points to qualify for public school.

Idiocy? Undoubtedly.  Dawin Award? No. Despite a determined effort he completely failed to kill himself (needful for a Darwin award due to it's beneficial affect on the gene pool).

Other than that I echo Vasco's 1st comment.

You're right.   That "biker brotherhood" thing ...  ?

All the time I'm hearing "We're all brothers under the skin, In The Wind" and "Don't be judgmental just because some rides differently from you" and "We all ride bikes for different reasons but we're all brothers" and that sort of thing.

It isn't true.   Some people are idiots that are doing their best to screw up motorcycling for the REAL riders, and they have nothing to do with me, any more than if they were raving through a shopping mall in slammed hatchbacks ....

This happened in Brazil, they're speaking portuguese. I could probably understand what they're saying if I sat down and listened to the whole thing a few times but I feel like I'd get stupider if I did, so I won't. But I did hear the guy that crashed say something along the lines of "I lost my balance and fell" and something to do with "Idiot". You got that right there sparky...

He sure as hell managed to demolish his motorcycle. I've never understood how people can blow so much money on a machine and treat it with so little respect.

Lots of money floating around these days.  You see the same thing here in the US.   People blame credit but it's not all credit; lots of regular people have a shytepotfull of disposable income, and they dispose of it any way they can ....

Drums,

Just splendid.  Seen the stunters play this game in Houston.  Hence why I never have gone on a group ride with MotoHouston crowd.

Weather forecasters were wrong, so I am geared up and away we go after I talk with mom.  The 93 year old stays on a strict phone call schedule and gets upset at any changes.

Disposable income comes back to credit- I don't know about Brazil but all usd money is someone else's debt, having money isn't possible without having credit first.
An increasing amount of goods & services per capita (person) is a must for a healthy economy. A tangent I know but it may help explain why things are as they are.

I'm not sure that's true, or if it is, in what sense it's true.   I've bought a bunch of motorcycles over the years, some new, a couple new cars, and I've never used credit to buy any of them?

I just use money (the cash kind) from my paycheck and my savings.   I don't borrow it and pay interest on it, which to me is how you know it's "Credit" .... ?

Just got back from town, picking up some gas for the lawnmower.

In the gas station was a group of about 20 "bikers", all riding Harleys with cut-down batwing fairings, ALL wearing face masks with some kind of scary graphics, NONE of whom had any mufflers, ALL of them sitting there wanking on their throttles making the maximum possible noise, and ALL of them, if they saw you looking at them, with a bad "What do YOU want damn you?" look on their face.

Sometimes it's hard being on two wheels if only because other people will associate you with these penile-challenged compensators.  

I know, I know.  Someone's going to say "So do you only like other riders with Tourmaster jackets on Stelvios ... ?" or something.   No, of course not.   Half the fun of riding is meeting up and talking with and/or riding with like-minded people.   But I don't find much like-mindedness in Stunter Boyz or Hell's Angels Wannabees ..... It's a shame too.

What I found amusing was the dude with the GoPro kept twirling his throttle continuously even when he was slowing down!

We have a young biker at our workplace and his supervisor calls him "Twirly" because he even revs up the electric drill when using it. He just can't help it!!

Getting off topic here but remember: When we don't spend money we don't have, it's called "common sense." When governments don't spend money they don't have, it's called "austerity," and everyone freaks out.

Full disclosure: I'm in debt up to my eyeballs. Because America.

Not to get overly political here, but "spending money you don't have" has it's healthy uses:  borrowing to put yourself through college, for example.  Even those of us who practice the best fiscal restraint usually borrow to buy a house (it's called a mortgage loan).  It's not always bad even for governments to spend money they don't have, it depends on what it's spent for, and that, of course is where politics comes in.

As for buying motorcycles with a credit card, I've done it with a cash-back card and gotten a nice bundle of cash back.  Of course, I never carry a balance on any credit card, that's foolish indeed.

Gee, was thinking about riding over to Cedar Vale with a like minded group.  But if I would be looked down upon for riding standing on the seat, I may have to go it alone.  The seat is such a pain in the ass I don't think I could make it sitting all the way.
