ya, i think I would have chased down that SUV as soon as I got back up. Its not like he could've gotten that far away anyways.

Well the dude hit him in the rear. So, in all reality it couldn't have been the bikes fault since the bike never hit the guy. Its very comparable to someone slowing down and the person behind them hitting them. At the beginning you can see parts of the bike and SUV before the bike even started doing a stoppie. The SUV is tailgating the bike all the way around the turn.

Maybe the suv was trying to get to a safe spot to pull over.
I know I wouldn't want to stop my vehicle on a blind inside part
of a curve. Plus the driver was probably intimidated by all the stunt'n squids.
Curves, bikes & camera's = crash
If I ever see a video camera taping me I am gonna slow down like
I have training wheels on my bike.

Must have taken place in Massachusetts. People always seems to hit and run here.
I was driving in my New Xterra about a month back. Some idiot was tailgaiting me in a VW Jetta, then proceeded to pass me in a no passing zone (and I was going about 10 mph over the speedlimit myself) and cut in front of me ... side swiping me in the process. After that he attempted to take off. I chased the guy for 3-4 miles before he finally pulled over. I had to show so much restraint not to kick the kids ***.
Then a couple days ago somone pulled out in front of my friend and ended up hitting the back of her car ... and they just took off.
People around here just drive like a$$ holes. Luckily, there some good country areas were I ride my bike.
Sorry just had to vent ...
