Killboy failure Dragon Fest

[BikerGeek99]

We were down in the area over the weekend. We didn't ride the Dragon (been there, done that) this trip, but we did ride 129 into the Gap to grab 28 and make the Moonshiner 28 run.

As we were on 129 heading towards the Gap, we came up on a dude on a sport bike that was, without a doubt, one of the shittiest riders I have ever seen. Granted I'm not the smoothest guy out there, nor the fastest, but holy crapola was this guy a shitty rider - body position was wrong in every way for it to be wrong, dunno where the hell he was looking, etc...

We were all 2-up on FJRs. No way we shoulda caught him.

Anyway, the wife and I were talking about this thread - I was sure you guys woulda pounced all over him.

This was on Saturday, 9/22, in the afternoon. Dude was on some kind of black / flat-black sports-ish bike, wearing a black jacket, and shoes with white socks.

I believe someone complained about him ripping it on the 150. :lol:

Maybe next season we'll be able to get down to VIR...

At least he did the right thing and avoided the bike.

Ignorant fuck. Never wondered WHY the truck changed lanes. Too bad he didn't roll it over 6 or 7 times.

What a friggin' a hole.

These idiots think they are on a track (driving or riding). We have all seen them. Weaving across all the lanes.

The victims are the innocent who they involve in the eventual wreck.

That overtake speed was ridiculous.

Look up the durometer (rubber hardness rating) for yourself. Street motorcycle tires generally have a durometer rating of around 65-70. Car tires are generally less (softer) than that.

...Orygunner...

Back to GEEEK WARS here. Are you sure about that? I just checked my bike and car tires briefly with a durometer. The bike tires were softer; 55 vs. 65 for the car. The car uses V-rated tires and my GS has Conti Road Attacks on it. My bike's tires are softer than my car's tires. Population sample = 1.

We could discuss lean angles vs. tire width next if anyone wants, but I'll stop here because I need pics, too. I love me some pics.
