Harley brother has entered the chat

@@SeattleSpeedI hate Harley drivers but yall newer riders on these crotch rockets drive like the biggest tools and then cry victim every chance yall get!!!! It’s pathetic yall are just as bad as the Harley riders

sad but true. Exhibit "A" 👆

@@ShadowMcSneaky y’all are incorrect lmao 😂

@@SeattleSpeed ITS YOU being a "harley brother" blocking passing cars on the fast lane. move over

He was tailgating me for a while. Then came up to within a few feet of my bumper. Remember - the camera makes everything look really far away compared to real life.

​@@SeattleSpeed Would you do this to an alligator? You're a bag of flesh on two wheels, get the hell away from the threats... Nobody on the road is in a mindset to take a lesson from you.

Dude wasn’t making a judgement error - he had been tailgating me for miles - and got to within feet of my bumper there. Remember - the camera makes it look a lot further than it really was. Dude was on one.

Indian? What kind of bike we talking? Y’all oldies just don’t get it.

@@SeattleSpeed Theres nothing wrong with being an oldie, we’ve been there and done that, plus we got to see the world be for it turned to shit.

@@boosted. nothing wrong with having been around. But sad to see when that doesn’t come with experience and skill. When it does it’s great! But lots of the “I’m an old rider and if someone tailgates me I offer to give em a quickie” are hilarious. 😂

@@SeattleSpeed I’m 62 and have kept myself alive riding for my hole life including the last 46 years on road. I really don’t want anything bad to happen to you, people are different now they’ll purposely hit you, run you off the road, or possibly use the pew pew on you all for only pulling up next to them and giving them a look they don’t like. No amount of my experience, your experience, or anyone’s experience will protect you if someone wants to do you harm especially when you’re right next to them.

@@boosted. what are you talking about saying there’s nothing I can do to not get hurt? I use speed and skill to avoid bad drivers. That’s literally what I did here. I split away from this guy in a way that makes it impossible for him to follow. I’m not prey for evil men. I’m better than them.

A few points. I was in a special HOV / toll lane. Not just the “fast lane”. This happened at a section where the HOV actually had two lanes - with one of them exiting. I had no option to leave that lane unless I wanted to be back in main traffic. Also I was slowing down because traffic was slowing to a stop in front of me. You can see at one point in the video that there is a car almost fully stopped in front of me. Also this dude was actually about a foot or two from my bumper at one point. Keep in mind the camera makes it look even further than it really was. This guy was putting my life in danger while I tried to slow down because of stopped cars in front of me.

​@@SeattleSpeed Ok, knocking so near to your bumper was not a good act, but when he started to ask to pass (at 0:03) you weren't in the special lane, and when he decide to overtake you at left there was no reasons to interfere speeding up (at 0:25). Sorry bro, I'm a biker, often a too fast biker, but in this situation I don't agree

@@satured yeah it’s the tailgating. Dude was so close I could almost touch him. He doesn’t need to do anything else. That was big bad. He did it because he was frustrated I wasn’t going faster. He did it while I was slowing down for traffic too. Trying to keep me from being able to safely brake for stopped cars in front of me. The reason he took off was because he was trying to avoid the stopped cars… I wanted to just go say hi and remind him that he isn’t “winning” since he seemed to think traffic was a race. There’s nothing he can do to “win” against a bike. See later in the video he was tailgating the car in front of him trying to get ahead and to block me from coming over? Dude is a mad bad driver tbh.

Lmao. Guys like this need to see that they can’t touch a bike. They often feel rewarded by their bad behavior. That just encourages it more.

@@SeattleSpeed quick jerking motion with the steering wheel .... I bet I could touch it

I don’t think I did anything to escalate.

@@SeattleSpeed Be safe man

@@SeattleSpeed You definitely did. If you have the fastest machine on the road, why play chicken with the lorrys?

@@fokuz02I definitely didn’t escalate anything. Being around someone isn’t escalation. Notice I didn’t try to tell them off or brake their mirrors. Just reminded them they can’t touch a bike.

@SeattleSpeed what you did was antagonize. Just remember, you aren't with bumpers, and you can be run over. Reality has to set in at some point.

Who cares?

Go read the other comments. 1. Dude wasn’t just lightly tailgating. Was almost close enough to touch. 2. I had to slow down because traffic was stopping in front of me. If you agree with this guy - turn in your license.

@@SeattleSpeed I don't dispute that they got close to you, just your claim that they raged about having to change lanes or whatever. Anyhoo, if you really care about safety, high-viz FTW!

@@ElroyMcDuff high viz is cringe bro. High speed is the answer.

@@SeattleSpeed 😛

I can think of another kind of donation of mine that your sister is really into 😂

I'll add lame comeback donor to your résumé as well😱

@@RoNix1333 damn, first you were mad about my skills on a bike. Now it sounds like you’re mad about my skills in another area. Stay mad forever.

@@SeattleSpeed I'm typing this using a mouth joystick because I'm a quadriplegic. I was hit by a negligent driver three years ago. Before that I was an electrician and a volunteer firefighter. I've seen brains from a cocky motorcycle rider, much like yourself, spread out on the pavement. So no I'm not mad, just laughing actually because you think you're invisible. You think driving like that to " Show other drivers that motorcycles can't be touched", Is worth your life?! What kind of statement is that anyways? Two wrongs do not make a right especially on a motorcycle, and only a child would bring a motorcycle to a car fight. At least you can say that you "have skills" to all of the pretty nurses when you're laying in the ICU bed. Take it from somebody who is paralyzed from the shoulders down, you will be lucky if you💀

Sure thing

Definitely! Anytime.

@@SeattleSpeed Thanks!

Literally in a toll lane you’re not allowed to leave except for at certain exits. And I was slowing down for traffic that was stopping in front of me. You’re criticizing me for something that didn’t happen.

@@SeattleSpeed "not allowed to leave except for certain exists" that dotted white line says different

@@SeattleSpeed and then you broke your own rule except off camera like how you magically appeared over the solid white line following the suv after it was already over

@@scuffedclips1 that was literally the exit. But I didn’t want to leave at that time. 😂 Cars were stopping in front of me.. so I was thinking about it. And the dude who was trying to climb inside me cut someone else off and did exit there. I followed him to see what was up after that… But normally if there’s traffic there it clears out and then the toll lane is faster again. So sometimes you just wait it out. You’re just wrong dude.

@@scuffedclips1 I can see you’re not here to learn anything. You just want to argue. You said earlier that I was “impeding traffic”. I wasn’t. I’m not obliged to exit that lane. I don’t have to move over from that lane because someone else wants to go faster - it’s not the left passing lane. You seem to think I was going slow in the “left lane” to “impede traffic”. That’s not the “left lane”. It’s the toll lane. And I was slowing for traffic in front of me. The only bad driver here is the SUV. Dude was way closer than the camera makes it look. Definitely just trying to bully me because he’s in a bigger vehicle.

Booooo
