ADVrider - Killboy failure Dragon Fest

It's a game.

"The finger-hole game", "The A-OK game", "The hole game", whatever.

The object is to get someone to look at the hole you make with your index finger and thumb. If you're successful, it's generally understood that you get to hit the other person (usually on the shoulder). Some players include a rule that the hole has to be below your waist.

Stupid but fun.

But if you can see it without directly looking at it and manage to get your finger in the hole then you win. but if the person catches your finger then its double punches.

Sure. The county/State could push for a length restriction on vehicles on that section. There are length restrictions all over the country on US-Highways that are curvy mountain roads.

There will have to be an alternate route that trucks can take.

Restrictions will have to include exceptions for trucks that need to be up there for business.

Interesting...one of the pics showed a "Wide Load" sign on the truck. Those are by permit and, correct me if I'm remembering wrong, they file a route they will take that needs to be approved beforehand. Interesting that the state would allow that oversized load to be pulled through there. Someone clearly does not know the road, or is not paying attention downtown. :deal

Prolly, of course you could change the word "truck/s" to "bike/s" and the county would make a few more bucks.

This falls under the category of "Just because it can be done, does not mean it should be done."

(Yes, wide loads are by permit, and the routes are known by the permits section at the State's Highway Department Office that issues the permits.)

Don't wide loads require pilot cars?

Varies by State, but usually on loads over 12-feet wide.

Here it is for TN:

Tennesee Pilot Car / Escort Vehicle is Required:
10′ to 12′ wide (if pavement is under 20′ wide) requires 1 pilot car
12′ 6″ to 14′ wide requires 1 pilot car
Over 14′ to 16′ wide requires 2 pilot cars
Over 85′ long requires 1 pilot car
Over 120′ long requires 2 pilot cars
Over 15′ high requires 1 pilot car
Flagperson required on bridges under 20′ wide

Here's North Carolina:

Length: Over 110’ on escort vehicle in rear.
Width: 2 lanes over 12’ one escort vehicle in front. 4 lanes one escort in rear. Over 14’ requires one escort vehile in front and one escort vehile in rear.
Height: Over 14’ 6 requires a high pole escort.

That probably is the pilot vehicle, although I've never seen a truck used.
If you notice it's not a tractor trailer and it has no load...

Looks like he could have swung it a little wider and stayed in his lane too.

Flatbed straight truck. Big whoop.

You'll notice that it's from a truss company and was probably delivering roof trusses to a jobsite in the area.

How do you ban those types of trucks?

On the serious side, I would not be surprised if the rider in question places all blame on everything but himself. This does seem to be the prevailing thought process in this country as of late. The caption in the beginning of the video shows that the poster is placing blame fully upon the guy picking up his gloves.

like standing in the middle of a road where you know a lot of questionable riding/driving takes place is a good idea....for a f%^%$#@g glove?
