    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Reminder: four wheelers are bigger, heavier....and they can harm you

Deja vu all over again!

As I waited in my car at a traffic light I was in the left lane waiting to make a left turn.

HD rolled up to my left in the lane meant for the opposite direction traffic.

A VW behind me began honking his horn repeatedly.

The light changed and I let the HD go ahead

As we made it around to the connecting street the VW, still blowing his horn, passed me, then pulled in tight behind the HD and still blew his horn.
The HD rider, as in the video, flipped him off.

The VW then pulled up beside the bike and was still blowing his horn,
The biker was yelling and waving.his arm.

I guess he had not seen this video.


How it turned out I don't know as I went only as far as my destination, a supermarket, but they were still at it as I turned off.

I do not know what preceded the moment on this video but the actions of the rider suggest that he really should have slowed down and taken a moment or two to calm down...

INSTEAD of waving and yelling at what turned out to be someone who really was willing to run him off the road.

He is lucky to be alive..

Thanks for finding and posting hat.

I have seen riders express anger many times over the years, and have always felt concern that some day a car or truck will have a really mean piece behind the wheel and cause major harm to the biker, as it is so easy to do.

This is exactly what I have been afraid might happen........this guy is REALLY luck to escape with his life..
 
Since this is local to me, there's been a lot of chat on local boards.

MC rider spent a night or two in the hospital

Kia driver spent a couple of days in jail, he's out now.

Oregon has some weird laws

Run over a pedestrian, felony, go to jail
Run over a bicyclist, felony, go to jail
Run over a motorcyclist, kill them, $185 ticket for failure to yield right of way

Local attorney got a law passed in 2023 upping the penalty, haven't seen it applied as yet
 
The grand jury handed down additional charges of
Hot and run - felony
Attempted murder- felony

Hopefully, justice will be served
