Tell him to stay home...
It is not out of context, it is EXACTLY what it looks like, a moron cutting corners and killboy took a photo then shared it with big red X, like they always do with this kind of behaviorWhile I think it is a dumb photo due to crossing the double yellow, for all we know the road was closed or it was some sanctioned local club event or something. But I agree even if that was the case, out of context it still gives a bad impression. And with his license plate clearly displayed, too. Not the sharpest tool in the shed.
I usually ride off-peak hours, even pedaled it on a bike, hit 46mph! that is faster than a Harley@MATPOC
As a fellow rider, I can certainly "hear you", but at the same time, with all the known publicity and tragedies the Dragon has, I'm not sure why you are at all surprised to see such evidence..... anyone riding the dragon knows very well what kind of risks they are taking in order to have that checked off your epic ride list.....
I hope you do..... I myself can't even consider the ride when I see all the pics of clowns (even with trailers in tow) and "pros" running around there!I know the risks, by sharing those photos I'm hoping to minimize them for the future
I wasn't there that day but I know Killboy crew, this was taken and shared with a hope that maybe someone knows this driver and will have a "talk". There are many car clubs that come to The Hill and usually car like this is easy to spot, someone knows someone who knows this guy, happens with Miatas, Mustangs etc, they post on their forum and shame the person and hope it never happens again.MATPOC, so you were there and you know for sure the road was open to the public when that [dumb] photo was taken then. Sorry, I thought you just saw the picture on the internet. I apologize. Yeah, that's dumb to do that.
Yes, we need to police the internet and shame/"talk to" people who we perceive as behaving badly. Tsk tsk....was taken and shared with a hope that maybe someone knows this driver and will have a "talk".
Do you know that it's more fun when you stay in your lane? Why? because it makes the curve tighter, if you want to straighten that corner might as well just go straight... get on a highway! There is absolutely no reason to cut this corner because you are not competing and saving milliseconds could kill someone. You may be able to react and get back in your lane but a novice motorcycle rider heading the other way will panic and go sailing off the cliff, meanwhile you are long gone and don't even care that you might have just killed someone...Yes, we need to police the internet and shame/"talk to" people who we perceive as behaving badly. Tsk tsk.
If I was driving a fun curvy road and came up on that curve I may do the same move. Looks like pretty good visibility to cross for a second or two. In the world of risk taking, this seems pretty low risk to get bent out of shape about.
Cagers..... drama....
I want to know more about dude's granny... She sounds cool
It's insensitive to call people master now. Other than that, looks to me like the OP driver had clear visibility of the left side of that curve. If it's such a problem, someone should call the cops to stakeout that corner instead of virtue-posting on the internet where no one can do anything about it.Sorry master. Forgive me master.
You know that road? Clearly not... that is a left followed by a sharp blind right, split second and you are head on to another vehicle.It's insensitive to call people master now.

Good.Cops are all over that road
