    Even though the guy had a green light, if the intersection isn’t clear you don’t just go! That’s a good way to get hit by someone running a red light - which does happen. I always look both ways in intersections even if my light is green 😊

    7:22 - What you said here made me think of an idea: make the RESQ card into a sticker/decal (or some sort of other wearable) that someone can put on their helmet/body in case someone finds them and doesn't know what to do. I get the idea from a fallen rider in another crash compilation. The motorcyclist who went down had a sticker on the side of his helmet that read: "In case of a crash, do not remove helmet." I thought it was really interesting, and helpful to those who want to help but don't know what to do.

    Just wanted to say THANK YOU for your content. I've been riding for decades, used to teach MSF (beginner-advanced), and up until fairly recently never bothered to really gear up properly. I was the standard HD rider wearing a little as possible. But between getting older, watching the horror shows you bring to us every week, and more Prius drivers on the road I've changed all that. Now I'm head to toe armor. Decided paying the extra $$$ upfront for armored jacket jeans and boots was a good investment. Also, ditched the peanut and back in a full face.

    Anything Could Happen
    Two-wheel rides in the countryside
    That's freedom up against the wind
    Enjoying time with friends of mine
    We've done it over and over again
    I know anything could happen
    When we're out there on the road
    Just ride for fun and respect everyone
    To make it safe back at home
    It's a different scene out in the streets
    When traffic becomes competition
    Could be speed or a greedy need
    When everybody wants their own position
    Even alone on a straight country road
    We always have to pay attention
    Just a matter of fact things can go bad
    And we could lose our anorectal retention
    Expecting anything could happen
    Hope to be geared out myself
    Not just wearing a leather jacket
    With someone else around to help
    But if I don't make it back some time
    Hope it isn't by my own mistakes

    I watch as many of your videos as I can. One thing you never mention is the majority of these accidents and incidents could be avoided if the riders would stop speeding and weaving in and out of traffic at over 100 mph. On a motorcycle you already have a small cross section of visibility to others. They check their mirrors see you're a ways back there so they change lanes, what they didn't know is you were doing 100, 115, 120 mph. By the time they change lanes you have already closed the gap to be right on top of them. Then you say it's their fault and blame them for everything after you were being a fool.

      I disagree. Right turns after a full stop are very safe and it helps to keep the traffic flowing. And in Europe similar principles are being applied: For example, the static "green arrow" in Germany. And in most European countries, you have to give way for oncoming traffic when turning left (or right in GB), even with a green light.

    Dan, as an African.... I would like to make one thing clear to others that it seems have a bit of an ego problem..... You have free choice, if you choose to go fast because you feel like it, then, DO NOT GET PISSED, when a car turns out in front of you while you are at speed. Think of what the driver of that cars perspective is..... YOU ARE TINY in that side view mirror..... The chances of them seeing you is VERY little,. Oh, but I have my headlight on.... Really? And how many OTHER REFLECTIONS do you think that person is having to try and differentiate your headlight from??? Stop being one minded and self absorbed..... You on a motor bike have WAY less protection...... YOU will get hurt, YOU need to think for others on the road, How many times does it need to be said that you are a very small object in the bigger picture, and, the chances of you bing seen when traffic is busy is GREATLY reduced.... We as bike riders need to start taking responsibility for our OWN DAMNED ACTIONS AND CHOICES, and we need to stop blaming other people when shit goes south because of our idiotic choices...... Sorry but I have to get this off my chest..... The arrogance of some riders just gets on my last nerve....... I have been riding for long enough to know what arrogance is and how quickly you WILL be taught a lesson in being humble..... You are not superman on your two wheels, more like a crash cart waiting to be wheeled..... Think of that next time you get on your bike and want to speed....... Being near death with a crash cart keeping you alive, will give you a new perspective.....
