Yamaha R1 vs. Honda Civic


This video is making its rounds around the Internet this week. Thanks to Lex who sent me the link from the Czech Republic to the SoCalSportBikes forum post on this. She definitely knew how to handle that situation correctly. I would have done exactly the same thing she did. Taking the left would have definitely been unpredictable so the logical choice to me was to try to steer towards the right. That Civic driver was a complete dumbass. Situations like this reminds me that anything can happen whether you’re riding or driving. I think I’m going to look into a full leather suit and maybe camera set-up like hers after I finish paying off my student loan. Learn from your mistakes as well as others. Just a friendly reminder to stay safe out there and if you’re on 2 wheels be extra careful.

    Just be careful. Riding is a lot of fun. But be extra careful. Don’t fall asleep in class. :-)
