Even if you disagree with anything I said, you can't disagree that as bikers we need to be driving smarter, thinkin/planning ahead and realize that yes, we are only on 350lb. bikes compared to 1 1/2 ton vehicles.
The first time I watched it, I thought I saw him swerving, turned out not to be the case. Also, it almost seems as if they were all racing as all 4 vehicles were very close together taking that corner pretty fast (for their vehicles limits).
**** with the bull, you get the horns. Hope he learned something.

Then when the bike makes his move to pass, he cuts in front of him - look at where the cars are ahead of him, they're way too far ahead for him to be trying to make a pass. Now I don't think the cager meant to take the bike out, just scarehim and get himto back off. The biker may have been tailgating, but is that really a justified reason to run him off the road?

I agree with this assessment. Take a look at the pic how far the other cars were ahead of the red car. The red car wasn't passing.

If you look on the left there is a shadow put off from a car in front of the red. Which to me says the red car was passing because as the car gets over it starts to overlap the other shadow. And as they go around the last corner you catch a glimpse of the other car just in front of the red. Video should be called "Bike trys to pass car that is passing another car and goes down due to stupidity".

Let's think about what we saw.
The biker was being an ******* by tailgating. If you MUST tailgate, stay to one side of the vehicle in front of you incase you need to make an evasive move.
Now let's think about the car in front of him. Just before he, "cause the accident," he appears to move over to the left to check for oncoming traffic. When he does this, it's apparent there are two other vehicles right in front of him.
From what I can see, none of the morons in the video gave any room for error between themselves. Then the jackass on the bike swerves back and forth behind the red car, in what seems to be a taunting gesture - then tries to pass when, again from what I can see, the car in front of him tries to pass as well.
Too bad the bike went down, but it's apparent that unless he wasn't wearing a helmet, he'll be fine.
Maybe next time the dumb motherf**ker will give a little consideration to others on the road.
This is a perfect example of people just blindly assuming the biker was being picked on by a, "cager." It's also a perfect example of BS.

Fault on both parts in that one, but it appears as a genuine accident to me, not malicious.I certainly try to never follow that close, especially not at high speed. Hope the dude is fine though.
Like Kid says, you **** with the bull, you get the horns.

And Kid, I do agree we gotta be focusing 100% on the road when riding, cuz we know cagers sure as hell aren't.

RE: Idiot Cager Causes Biker to Crash
Well it was perfectly legal for both to pass, and I know how we have to be espeically carful while riding, but this is totally the cager's fault. If the bike was in his blind spot, it is his responsibilty to check it, and notice how the cager doesn't signal his turn into the other lane. If hehad signaled, I am sure the biker would have been able to prevent this. If blinkers weren't needed, they would be an option, not something standard on every vehicle......use them.
