or he's just adding fuel to the fire that puts the rest of us on two wheels a statistic. To cagers, we're all one in the same, Harley riders, tourers, sport bikes, etc. All just hoodlums on 2 wheels.
BUT, it was an amazing cross body left handed throw while moving at speed which resulted in shattering the drivers window! A truly impressive feat for a nearly brain dead rider wiho has nothing but time on his hands to follow a car for 20 minutes to hit it with a rock. His commitment to stupidity is entertaining. And yes, he will become a hood ornament and or smear on the asphalt if he keeps it up. Which will also be entertaining.

Not to mention the ease of which he collects the pebble.
Perhaps it's just me but I'm always afraid of dumping my bike when trying to pick up my glove after its fallen to the ground.
I totally understand the urge to exact immediate revenge on some douche, but to post the video evidence online? Now THATS really stupid. Also, it's not exactly easy to break a side window believe it or not. I get to smash and cut into vehicles for a living and I'm always impressed by how much effort it takes to break a side window. Windshields and back windows are easy. He must have hit it just right.
^This. Exactly, learned about this years ago and it never fails to amaze me. It was explained to me by a guy in the Army, its referred to as the Law of Multiplicative Idiocy, the law states that someone engaging in a idiotic act will follow it with another more idiotic act. Basically someone engaged in idiotic behavior will invariably film it or someone with them will film it, thus documenting and creating evidence of their idiotic (criminal) act.
A word to the wise: next time you take part in an idiotic act or one of your friends does, when that thought pops into your head telling you to take out your phone and film it, DON'T. Or better yet, avoid the idiotic act, what did you really gain by exacting your revenge on the cager? We have all been there undoubtedly, but the temporary satisfaction you will get by being a dumb ass is temporary. Being a dumb ass is a terminal illness, especially for those of us on two wheels.
Yea, I can understand why he's doing it but the best course of action is to just get the hell away from crazy drivers! I saw an encounter on Thanksgiving day between a guy on a sport touring bike and a minivan; then they proceeded to swerve in and out of traffic to cut each other off. I was relieved when the guy on the bike finally took off because this could only end badly for one party.
Is the option of "youtooobing" adding fuel to the idiocy fire? These days you will see all sort of people trying to "make it" by adding such videos and trying to one up each other. No creativity to come up with genuine content so waiting for some thing silly and borderline dangerous to happen to go on this verbal diarrhea and followed by some sort of even worse retaliation antics Eg you tube title.. "Biker almost killed by... Blah blah blah "
Youtube has given idiots a global audience at no charge, most likely "adding fuel to the fire" in that the idiots want to post something more outrageous than the last guy to get more views. Consider that if you search motorcycle videos on Youtube most of them will inevitably lead you to videos of people evading law enforcement, getting into road rage incidents, or riding like a dumb ass on the street. Perception is reality. Driving to work the other day I witnessed six guys on Harley baggers, riding like dumb asses of course, with a truck in front of them and a guy hanging out the passenger window filming them. They appeared to be making some kind of awesome video, most likely to end up on youtube.
OT but the mod tagged your other thread and closed it. apparently not related to daytonas. why's this one still open? just curious how that works. and will I get banned for asking?
Why target the driver when it was the passenger who tossed the bottle.....probably some pussy who hasn't ridden the bike since for fear that ass gonna get whooped.
