Title: Countersteering
Post by: gma on January 09, 2005, 10:19:18 PM
This is the kind of pathetic excuse for a 'person' that you wish paralysis upon.  
 
Not death, or even a slow, painful, miserable death, but the inability to feed or dress himself for the rest of his life - the loss of the dignity of even being able to use the bathroom by himself - only to stare at the same piece of ceiling or floor for his remaining, miserable days - and to think over and over again in his pathetic, underdeveloped, simple, stupid, little mind about the two cyclists that he killed or could have killed. This guy is right up there with 'Senator 100 days'.
 
Can you tell that this kind of thing bothers me - that I was irate when I saw this?
 
If you don't know how to countersteer, or if you know someone who doesn't; teach them or lean - it could save a life. Countersteering along with the ability get off the bike to the inside of a turn and to know the limits of the brakes when cornering - and to have the sober presence of mind to turn in the direction that a car is coming from - not where it's going - can mean the difference.
 
And if you or someone you know thinks that this is 'cool', kill them or yourself.
 
Submorons will think that this is 'drifting'. It's not. It's mass immaturity and insanity. I cheer that the driver got what he deserved. I hope the car was his parent's or borrowed. And I wish the airbag would have failed - dammit, it didn't.

This is nothing less then the hand of God descending from the sky and delaying the cyclists somewhere earlier in their day by less than one second - that was the difference.
 
Thank you for listening ...

The scooter pilot was on his game, though!
