What an amazing guy. Lost his leg, life changed and unable to enjoy a hobby like before yet still remains positive. What a gent!
Yeah, a cool dude for sure!! Hope he gets a top of the line prosthetic leg!
You can call it insprational but its the only way to be, life craps on you, some break, most carry on a bit damaged, then one day who knows, we die, the end:)
As a biker, the positive attitude of this bloke whose lost his leg, and an amazing wife that’s sticking by him, Respect 👍🏻
6 years ago I was taken off my bike by a careless driver and have lost the use of my right arm. 6 years on after a long battle I'm now finally getting justice from the courts and insurance company
Unbelievable how positive is still this gentleman after life changing accident. Real big respect. I hope you gonna drive your bikes again. ❤
Massive respect for this man, and his wife.
The pickup didn't realise he hit a motorcyclist because without any shadow of doubt he was engrossed with his mobile. The stereotype of the young male pickup driver with high-vis stickers on the truck, many of them drive aggressively, speed and use their phones whilst driving. What a hero that motorcyclist is - I wish him all the best in his future.
The phone law is nowhere near strict enough. I also automatically thought just by the description that the person could have been on the phone. Times need to change and soon because these incidents keep occurring.
This reminds me of an incident that happened to a work colleague about 15 years ago. He was on a dual carriageway in the outside line over taking 2 vehicles a Toyota Land cruiser and a Ford fiesta.
Then the driver of the Land cruiser, without indicating, pulled out to overtake the fiesta, knocking him clean off the bike. At first she didn't stop. It was only later that she reported it to the police.
My colleague spend 3 months in hospital and was off work for 9 months in total. He told me she only got 6 points and £700-£800 fine.
Pick up driver should do atleast 10 years in Prison
Motorbike was in Layby FFS Now rider Disabled
Seems more likely he fell asleep, hence not swerving and went straight into the hedge.
Doesn’t sound like a phone here I braking at all more likely asleep.
It would be interesting to know the outcome of the legal case, was a mobile phone involved, fell asleep at the wheel? Huge pay out from insurance company and rightly so, should be American scale damages. Not sure I would get back on a bike after that experience, very positive attitude from rider to make the best of the terrible circumstances.
I had an elective left below knee amputation in November 2021 (the guy in film had above knee). Still not fully walking, still in loads of pain and phantom pain. Losing leg has a huge impact on absolutely every part of life.
Sorry to hear about that .
Wow biggggggggg respect to this gentleman. You are inspirational to the 🌎
The Ranger driver reckons he was driving along in lane 1, heard a noise and then some way down the road ended up in a tree? Think he's had a bit of time to think of a story at that point
I hope he does get back on his bike soon. Such a positive man after such a terrible accident that cost him his leg.
Love the attitude and zest for life, hopefully he will have a speedy recovery and will get back in the saddle.
They treat bikers better today. When I had a similar thing happen in 1980 the police went to town to prove it was my fault, saying I wasn't wearing hi-vis. (no legal requirement) I was riding in an inconsiderate manner (I was stationary) My lights weren't on (It was a perfect Summer's day- no legal requirement) My indicators didn't work. (They did before the bike was totalled) I shouldn't have been stationary (it was a red light at roadworks) I should have stopped by the kerb so cars could see the red. (What?) In the end they decided to let me off and called it knock for knock so I had to use my insurance to get a new bike. Luckily I wasn't injured or in a come or they'd have made something up and when I came round I'd have been in the dock in a hospital bed.
That is so sad, total change of life. 😢
Well, he was either on his phone or he's fallen asleep. That's my guess.
This country needs more people like him what a charming man ❤
What an inspirational guy. Total respect to him and his Wife.
Passed my car test in 74' driving attitudes have changed so much' a real cavalier way of driving , every time i go out on the roads the amount of near misses i see is uncountable , i dont enjoy driving anymore .....
As a fellow biker i hate watching these kind of videos, but at the same time i like to watch them to try and make myself a better rider, even if that means being more aware of other road users, i hope this guy can ride again, nothing better than riding a motorbike
Sadly nothing can protect us bikers from the likes of the pick-up driver.
Made me happy to see the guy still enjoying life and hopeful for the future.
Jesus … those of us with two legs and a working body/mind could learn a great deal from that admirable man!
What a legend ! What a spirit !
Let me guess the pickup driver got 6 points and a £250 fine.
I gave up riding my bike before the odds of a collision grew too high. There's just too many inconsiderate idiots, weighing many times more and they're heavily protected in a cocoon of luxury and distractions. This video graphically emphasises why I decided not to ride again. It was very much a passion and like many passions, someone else always spoils it.
There are random dangers everywhere you go. You could get fatally hit walking across the road but people dont stop walking.
My goodness, shocked me to the core to be honest. I think the fact that the man was stationery at the time was somehow more difficult to comprehend.
That said a lady friend of mine had a flat tyre on the exit slip of the M40 at Newbury & was killed instantly by a driver when she got out to investigate.
I hope you can continue with your hobby & much respect to you for being so positive.
Sounds like the driver of the pickup fell asleep at the wheel! Respect to the motorcyclist for his positive attitude!!
I think he was asleep too. He’d been at work from 5am, it was coming up to sunset.
I hope you guys get to the bottom of this, follow up with another video on how the investigation is going forward.
Love to know the outcome. What an amazing bloke. Not sure I would have taken that so well
Biker was amazing. What an inspirational positive outlook, the world needs more people like him.
Absolutely incredible, such a positive attitude.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This man is a true warrior and he wife is a real one too. Wish them both well.
His response to his injury is terrific. Mind over matter🙏🏿
What a man.
What an amazing man, inspiration to us all. Could have so easily dwelled on what he's lost, but instead he focuses on what he has.
Hope the Ranger driver got a few years inside to think about his actions. People forget they’re driving a potentially lethal weapon.
After seeing the effects of sleeping at the wheel in a recent accident in front of me , and the fact that he carried on into the bushes. He was clearly drifted asleep , in cases where especially a motorcycle stationary in a lay-by , gbh and dangerous driving especially with life changing injuries , it should carry an automatic prison sentence, I know people that have hit animals and deliberately hounded cyclists, that just don’t give a shout about it, the law needs to be tougher
What an amazing guy. How can someone just plough into a stationary bike like that? I ride a bike, and stuff like this gives me the creeps.
love how positive he is after the accident.
i know how he feels after i had a motorcycle crash in december im wheelchair bound after have 6 brakes in my leg full knee rebuild and cracked hip tho my leg is twisted so now got to learn to walk
im just like him i cant wait to get back on a bike
An amazing bloke that biker is.
The man that caused this to him should not be allowed to drive again.
The bloke is on the square and that’s what helps him have that positive mental attitude
What an inspiration. So incredibly lucky to be alive.
Hats off. Great, positive attitude. All the best to you and for the future
glad to see he still has a passion to continue riding, see you out on the road one day bud.
That person must be fed up of getting injured every 22 minuets.
Take my hat off to this guy for being so positive. Once a biker always a biker and really hope you get to ride again mate 👍🤞 don't know what I'm going to do when I can't ride
im thinking if this man sue the truck driver who hit him & get him charged maybe we dont know yet
@havok9001 it's not about money, mate.its about having the life you won't to live especially if your a biker 😢
@@richardgiles2484 will i dont drive at all but im disable since birth & if anyone miss me up bad i make sure they get the same thing
I too was rear ended whilst stationery on my delivery scooter. As a result still recovering and no longer can ride my harley. 😢
Wow, this should not have happened to a guy like that. What a legend indeed 👍🙏
Stay strong Brother. I know you have the strength to rise once more and ride. 🤝
What a legendary biker - keeping positive despite the nightmare cards dealt - respect!
Love his positive can do attitude. Respect
Dash cams should be part of the MOT now
My son got re ended on his motorcycle by a delivery driver whilst waiting at lights . He is onlyOK because he was wearing a Helite inflatable jacket. Saved him from serious injury. Thank you Helite. ❤
Thanks for posting this. I also have one of those vests.
My love and best wishes to this amazing guy and his wife who keeps a bright outlook despite the horrible events which seriously altered his life! As a biker I know only too well the serious risks we face out there and yet we still follow our passion for our machines we covet so much.
You are a true inspiration of human life that has had something that happened in a accident and you have come out the other side and you are determined not to let this beat you fair play to you cos if I was told I can’t ride if I lost a limb yrs ago it would have been different to not haven all this new technology to build a artificial limbs so that now we can ride again as it a lil blip but can be done you are a inspiration to many people and you be proud of yourself and all the best to you and your wife ❤❤❤ p.s I hope I worded it right as I’m dyslexic and part of my brain don’t comprehend very well in writing these msgs 😊😊😊😊
Ch 5 great job on the video / audio! Such an amazing story covered immaculately, me among others I'm sure find It's hard to hit the like button sometimes when such life changing injuries are involved, if you feel that too! it's Ok to be compassionate & be reminded a click on "like" is not a celebration of what happened, it's how it's been covered from the creator side of things, sharing their story helps prevent it happening to others, and emphasizes that looking out for others on the roads brutally important, so please don't be confused. Rob. take care out there.
When you ride again, and you will, I will be proud to ride with you mate !!
Pleased that he’s a serious Freemason and that the brotherhood will give him all the support he needs in addition to medical care and support from his wife.
What???
@@YautjaPrime-gw1on properly watch the content again and it’s all there.
@@askiff1415
I did, hence my reply.
The fact that you replied in a cryptic manner makes it all the more laughable.
@@YautjaPrime-gw1on well you clearly haven’t watched it properly. The guy is a Freemason that’s obvious and as part of Freemasonry they will support him and his wife. How many times do we have to spell it out too you? Please stop wasting everyone’s time
@@askiff1415
Again. You make claims that are laughable. Unsubstantiated ones at that.
Go ahead, prove me wrong what are these mysterious clues only you apparently see that no-one has?
Once you do I might actually spend a bit of time researching them.
I hope the pick-up driver lives with sadness for the rest of his life.
Brilliant outlook. Best of luck to him.
small concession that at least its the right and not the left. Much easier to adapt the bike to a thumb brake than try and do something around gearing for a left-leg amputee.
Top bloke, and his missus
Stay strong my brother, SMIB
What an inspiration what a legend
Front and rear dash cams on bikes should be part of MOT. Car manufactuerers have a duty to install a safety device in their vehicles. Make an annoying sound when you pick your phone up, just like the seatbelt warning sound.
I hope that low life in the pick up got prison time. Feel so sorry for the motorcyclist he is a real Christain!
lovely dude.
Terrible events, but such a positive attitude.
I bet his words to the cops were..how's my bike? Hope he goes on to live a full life🏍
Love this guy.
Very close to home, and that road has a reputation. That was also a big, white bike, the most visible colour. How do you not know you've hit something like that?
I honestly thought that was Walter White on the thumbnail then
Hiensberg! Say my name
Where is the result of the driver that hit him?!?!?!?
What a guy.. the wife's alright too 😂😊
Get well soon brother gremlin
20 year driving ban for the van driver..
Yes, the Mature Biker is a very brave man, so maximum punishment for van driver..
Over the years obligatory safety equipment has been installed in motor vehicles, with the amount of traffic on the roads today maybe it is time for recording dash cameras front and rear to be installed in ALL vehicles. It would make determining the cause of "accidents" easier to discover.
Small steps bro, hope to see you riding again. SMIB
Not much you can brother WS from Suffolk Chapter
Hiezenberg on Road Patrol.
Love it
He is some guy 👏
I got rear ended while stationary on my motorcycle 7 weeks ago, car drivers are BLIND!
What a nice bloke he is. Taken it in the right spirit too and I hope he regains full mobility so he can just do what he could before.
Maybe check his phone records???
Anyone know if the ranger driver got prosecuted?
20 year driving ban
Super positive, and in a way he is lucky it was his right leg. Michael Boothy lost his leg and has been back on a bike within 44 weeks, riding again. Even if it's hand controls for the back brake, this bloke will ride soon!
Technology is getting better with trouser or limb airbags now
If the biker was stationary on the lay-by, means just one thing ...Mobile phone!...Another bikers life ruined by a careless, unthinking Cager....
We not gonna talk about walter white in the thumbnail? 💀
What did driver get
Nyone know what happened to the car driver? Was he asleep at the wheel and prosecuted?
Hello and I hope you get better soon and to be able to go out on you motorbike again I had the same I was hot by a van I was fully legal on the road and the van driver was not I got done by the police and had to go court and got a big find and points and the van driver got away with it
Check the motorists phone, was he using it as he was driving ? Very common nowadays.
I'm sure his brother Masons have looked after him considerably during this troubled time. HA WS
Ford ranger, ubiquitous model among cereal-box licensees.
driver probably on his mobile, hope the rider got paid out lots
Check his phone.
people like that pick up driver should not be aloud behind wheel again there danger to everyone on road
Is this York?
North Yorkshire Police vehicles, 0:28 Road sign says location is Bilbrough Top, Tadcaster way
The pronunciation of Ford Ranger is wrong though, as the 'n' is silent!
Ford rager XD
I’ve always asked myself why do we in most aspects of life not take life as seriously in certain aspects as we should even more so after real warnings like this until something bad happens to you or caused by you to others to finally realise the devastating consequences which by then in the scale of possible consequences is worst case a preventable death of which there is no coming back from that. There is no reset button in the real world so people need to stop living like there in a game
Amyone know what happened to the pick up truck driver?
The works driver needs gaol time
