Nah. No failures in those pics. Nothing for us to criticize to make ourselves feel superior.

2. The dude on the bike was an idiot for riding that close behind the pissed off cager - he set himself up for the fall.

Great title........did you actually look at all the pics I posted???

You probably looked as closely as you did at the "speedo" in the video

So are you a squid or a poser???
