But people overestimate the mobility. Cars have better grip, braking and turning response, the only thing bikes do faster is acceleration. I see so many bikers follow other vehicles way too close like they think they are the most agile things on the road
You can actually be perfect and still die. It’s called getting got by another driver. Many people don’t look out for motorists if they’re distracted with cellphones. It’s gotten worse and I don’t think I’ll ever ride but I always thought I would. GTA will do the trick
The mobility is NOT AT ALL what you think it is for motorcyclists. Cars can turn faster and stop quicker. That’s the reality. They have 10x the traction a motorcycle will have on their tires.
Wrecked, hospital 13 days, 5 days ICU (pulmonary embolism). Jumped on bike 3 days after I got home healing broke ribs, shoulder and torn meniscus. I had to get back on the saddle or I never would again. Hardest part to get passed was riding past the accident scene. Never experienced anxiety that rich before.
It’s been almost a year since my wreck and I still haven’t visited my site. I just broke an ankle after a truck pulled out in front of me, I suffered a pretty bad concussion and busted both eardrums. I’m lucky that’s all that happened to me but I still haven’t gotten the guts to go passed it
Different situation entirely, as I don't ride yet (working on it), but I had a nasty wreck in my daily driver vw gti. 65mph into a guard rail end, totaled the shit out of my car, and banged me up pretty good. That was in a whole ass car, and I couldn't drive by the crash site for a week or so because it was just chilling to see. I genuinely couldn't imagine that with a bike wreck. MASSIVE respect to yall who have a big crash and get back on. That's dedication, and I'm here for it.
@@AngerySumo91 once you get a bike you will understand the fun addictive freedom it gives, it doesn’t matter what you ride. The feeling you get from being on a bike is so free and indescribable. But it’s a dangerous world and know that its a much higher probability that you will get hurt way more than a car so please be careful and ride your own ride. Never ride above your abilities. If possible I would recommend taking an motorcycle safety course. I knew how to ride already and still took it and it taught me a ton. It’s worth every penny
@@AngerySumo91This is an interesting perspective that I've never really considered, that a physical location might cause such distress. I crashed on a highway, it never bothered me to go there, practically unrecognizable.
@Joshuabray1k a good bunch of my friends all recently started riding, and one let me borrow their grom for a quick test. I immediately fell in love with it lol. Absolutely would take a course though, last time I really rode was dirt bikes when I was like 8-10 and I'm not trying to run out of talent that quickly lol
To let everyone know. She had to have her leg amputated. She now wears a prosthetic and still rides :Edited so all the grammar police will get off my dick about autocorrect switching wears to where’s 😂
The guy doing 110 was at fault no question about it. What made that person think doing 110 and flying up behind a slower motorcycle and gonna pass on the right was ok and it wasn. I feel sorry for that poor girl that lost her leg to ignorance and stupidity and i hope he lost his license and got charged.
As a fellow motorcycle rider I recognized all the mistakes you brought forth on the guy doing a wheelie behind a slower motorcycle instead of the left because she knew that you needed to correct over to the left so she went right to avoid him and his dumbass went right and smashed into her
I just don't get why ppl wanna do that stupid shit knowing its dangerous as hell. Then you see small women doing wheelies on 950 pound harley and wreck and hurting themselves.
I’m 60 yr sport biker and I would NEVER put myself or anyone else in danger by assuming it’s ok to speed or wheelie around other drivers. Only when the coast is absolutely clear 😁
Edit: saw the full vid. They at least were all aware of what they were doing, and someone just held their wheelie too long. This is why I favor one pass at a time, and parked bikes in defalade. Seen too many of these collisions and even looped bikes bowling a row of parked bikes. I’m 46, and this is exactly my philosophy. Unfortunately too many of the younger crowd have zero sense of taking measured risk at appropriate times. Wheelies and Endos in the group formation, poor communication, surprise close high speed passes during cruises out to the rural roads… pointless stupidity. I worry more about being hit by the tool I don’t know who joined the group and lacks a sense of appropriate timing than I do the most clueless cager, and yeah, I’ll bring up the rear until I know who you are.
She was doing 20mph and he was doing +100mph at time of accident. Glad she lived, when you ride with people who ride “recklessly”, you have to be ready to be in part of their wreck. Glad she lived. 4yrs ago I stopped street riding and rarely even trail ride with all the big side-by-sides flying around these days. Maybe I’ll get back into it, but not like I used to.
Are you dumb. She randomly turned into the right side of the lane. I’m not saying he shouldn’t have had more control for sure that’s the case but you can never ride with another bike and just randomly turn yourself like that and especially that slow
@@frankburns5975anyone who is looking will miss any idiot going over 100. Too fast on open roads. Could have been a deer, a dog, or a car. Dumb and reckless on a public road
Of all the dumb s*** I did when I was younger, biking was the dumbest. I still risk life and limbs but I do things now that if I die it's my fault. Hiking, climbing, off-roading. Too many close calls when I wasn't even having fun. Just trying to get from point a to b for work. And other bikers who would just randomly join up with me were more dangerous than people who randomly shift lanes.
My husband got in a bad motorcycle accident on February 19th and it was the worse thing he has went through and one of many worse things I went through! I’ll never forget him calling me from the middle of the freeway telling he was hurt bad and that it’s bad! I hauled ass trying to figure out where my husband was. I waited outside the hospital for hours till i was able to go in, all he kept saying was sorry! I lost my brobro in 2020(not death lost him but he has a traumatic brain injury, and will never be the same his wife of six months at the time blocked us from seeing him or contacting us. I think she did it to him she has a child from someone else and not giving my brother to me) lost my mom in 2021. He is all I have left I believe that’s why he was saying sorry cause he knows I’ve been through a lot and I don’t want to be without him EVER!! But I walked in that emergency room strong no tears not knowing what I was going to see. I saw a lot but I stayed strong I was sooo stressed out and worried trying to keep him as positive as I could not crying once cause I didn’t want him to worry! He stayed a month in the hospital nights were the hardest for us cause I couldn’t stay with him. I cried as soon as I walked out of his room every night, cried at home wanting my best friend home that whole month was HARD!! My husband is amazing and soo strong because he walked out that hospital!! He has a lot of scars but he is still here and I thank the lord for that every day!!!! 🥹🥹🥹🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I kiss his scars and tell him no matter how he looks I love him sooo much and I will be here for him till my last breath and I really do mean! I love this man with my whole heart and soul!! He is all I have left!! 😩😩😭😭
And he still rides because he's the only one she's got left and he's going for a hat trick and possibly die. Yup he cares about you the same way you care about him...
What’s worse than hearing your husband panicked and distressed? I assume that’s the father of your children? Things in the past no longer have hold so things in the present are absolutely terrifying
@@priscillamorales3130 thank you…. The accident was easily avoidable but being young/dumb and not a care in the world I made port decisions that led to a bad outcome. You have to be very careful on these machines.
Just got my Class M and Ill tell you this much, If your not out doing Wheelies and Being stupid, You will be fine Our instructor told us “The people who fear owning a Bike are the ones who should learn to ride the most, The moment you lose that fear, You can lose your life”
The girl was being careful. The other rider was the one who caused the accident. Doesn't matter how safe you ride if another dumbass comes you're dead just the same
I have been ridding two years now and I find myself going slower than when I started. I noticed that when going the speed limit most people see you and they are able to make turns before or after me without hitting me. If someone does pull out and I am going 25 mph I stop or maneuver around the danger and NEVER GET MAD. If was was doing 45 mph in a 25 and someone pulls out its game over.
I’ve had the same experience. When following laws of the road people look out for you. So many ride triple the speed limit and then get mad when cars don’t see them and call it a near death experience. I’ve had 1 “close call” in all my riding but that’s a truck that pulled out and stopped on a 65 mph road. I stopped with plenty of time to spare
Every single motorbike rider who drives a car has had the experience of a bike appear out of nowhere, from exactly where it shouldn’t be, and flash past them before they can react. But a shitload of them seem to forget this when they ride their bikes. I’m a biker and there is nothing more pitiful and annoying than selfish, idiotic, entitled bikers.
This is a sobering lesson to a lot of people seeing it. When we do group rides, the rowdy riders lead, and the slower riders stay in the back. I'm assuming the low speed was to wait for those behind to catch up. If anyone riding ever ends up in the front and wants to wait up, I've always found it's best to ride on the white line, this leaves the lane open, and if you turn your head to look back and your bike slightly veers to the left as a result, there's still most of the lane available. Be safe out there folks!
Great advice.... Just don't do it in a curve like me .... Scraped up my bike a little bit on the tall curb but didn't dump it.... 🙏 Praise Jesus, I love that bike .
My buddy passed away last season in a scenario just like this. Except, he was the other rider that ended up in the ditch. I'll spare you the details, but he clip my friend and went airborne, his head hitting a telephone pole... R. I. P. Austin... Buying ice cream for all the kids will never be the same without you brother.
A good friend of mine almost lost his leg in exactly the same way. He almost bled out at the scene. But he's back to riding now even though it stopped him from continuing to pro motorcross. Thanks for sharing your inspiring journey and letting others know they aren't alone!
@@slothymango truly I think it was lack of experience on both of them. It's like neither of them knew what the other was doing. I think he let her go first back at the right hand turn. I think she took off like a bat out of hell maybe she wheelied also maybe she didn't but for what ever reason she had crossed the yellow line into the on coming lane. Just behind her here he comes like a bat out of hell but at this time she was slowing down and moving over without knowing what the other bike was doing. I think she was headed for the right position to let him come up beside her on the left but not checking her mirrors or shoulder she had no idea how fast he was going and he wasn't expecting her to slow down as much as she did. I hate it for the both of them they both misjudged each other and I think it comes down to lack of experience. We both know when you ride you have to be on top of your game and even then something can take you out without any fault of yours and has nothing to do with your lack of experience. I know that for a fact. 3 yrs ago I was in my truck on my left was another truck. We got the green light to cross the intersection my door was beside his front tire while crossing it was a 4wd so that's all I could see. Half way cross he locks it down before I could react a lady slammed into my driver's side door missing him by inches. She ran her stop light and he seen her doing it and his first reaction was to hit the brakes. Her running 60mph I never saw it coming. Changed my life forever. She was fined 250 bucks for running the light and I'm on disability and my bike has been sitting in my shop unriden for 3 yrs🤬
To let yall guys all know She lost her leg. And that guy doing a wheelie still survived and they are still riding motorcycles to this day That guy was her husband to let yall guys know
I quit riding bikes long ago. I was a speed demon back in the days. Me and my buddy would ride our bikes towards each other head on at max speed. And, just before our bikes are crashed against each other, we would jump off our bikes and roll off to the sides of the road. That was the way we satisfied our need for speed and thrill. We were like 8yos back then and we were riding bicycles, not motorcycles. After we grew older, we didn't start riding motorcycles though. It's probably because we had played with speed and other dangerous stuff our parents wouldn't approve of way too many times when we were kids. Now we are grownups, and drive our cars very slowly and safely, always focusing on doing defensive driving.
At this point, whether she was in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd position, nothing would have happened if the guy wasn't speeding... and her certainly saw her first before she could see him. He can't assume it's ok to ride next to her either. All 3 positions are hers...
I'm glad to see someone else knows all 3 positions are hers. Still even if it wasn't her fault and with me being a long time rider for her own personal safety she should have kept an eye out for him just for the simple reason you never know what someone else may decide to do. You have to stay on defense all the time and even then something can still happen
So I am the husband in this video😢 this is something that I wish I had done differently. So we was in this area for practicing stunting/hooligan stuff like 10 cars a day would come thru is why we picked the spot. We had been doing wheelies back and forth my wife was trying to learn how to do them. The accident happened because of my miss judgment of what she was doing. So I brought up my wheelie a good 300 yards behind her and as I was getting closer I was about to bring it down but she went into the other lane so I thought she was moving over so I could go by obviously she wasn't because she then returned to the lane I was in but it was to late. I can tell you the guilt I go thru everyday is worse than you can imagine. It has been almost 3 years and we have had a lot of therapy over this trauma. All I can tell you from my experience is never assume what people are doing. I feel like if I didn't assume she was moving over for me or if she would have checked behind her things would have been a lot different but everyone knows hindsight is 20-20. I hope this clears up the questions on what happened.
@@adambomb85 thanks for coming back here and clearing things up for all of us in the comments. This is a step that will help you and your wife get past this horrific event where you can get on with your lives and a way of seeing how lucky y'all are for still being here and having another chance. They're so many riders that were never able to do what you just did. No one here has to tell you how lucky you are I'm sure you knew that that very day. It was a hard way to learn that you can never assume what someone else will do whether they're on a bike or not. Some people think always assuming the worst will happen takes the fun out of riding but it doesn't for me. I wish you and the wife all the luck in the world at getting through this together and living a happy life
@@adambomb85 i definitely feel bad for both of you, so traumatic for sure 😢. Out having fun and a second or two can change that, but neither meant it to happen. Take care and peace to you both🙏🙏🙏
My adult son and stepson will never be the same from motorcycle wrecks caused by vehicles pulling into their path. My son is able to work part-time but my stepson can't even take care of himself without help.
My friend too. 2o something. New family. Great new job- ALL gone. He cannot walk or wipe himself. One arm only works...forever. Never get better- only worse they say.
I wrecked a week ago today, lady pulled out in front of me. Got a new bike 4 days after the accident. That first ride after an accident is insane. Haven’t felt a feeling like that in ages.
Amanda , first I’m sorry for your loss. My dad lost his below the knee before I was born and it never held him back from doing anything he wanted. To me it was normal. I’ve ridden Mx and raced flat track along with numerous trips to the Dragon on a 88 Yamaha OWO1. The comment was not meant as a hack on you , but a tip to new riders. Predictability is priceless in groups. Best wishes , you’ll be fine.
This is why you drive at the speed limit, empty road or not and wear full motorcycle gear, hot weather or not. Just some padding on your knees is not gonna cut it when you fall off at high speeds getting ripped up by the asphalt. A tough and painful lesson to learn for both the dude speeding and you yourself, I hope the injury heals as best as it can even with the loss of your leg.
Now understand why my dad didn’t want me to get a bike…. Thanks Dad, if you saw the comment! *edit* : damn, probably the most likes I got! But still, ma dad didn’t comment 😂
This reminds me of my uncle, he was a big motorcycle enthusiast and love riding his bike. He saw a fatal accident with his riding buddies and he gave up motorcycle. Said he doesnt want to end up dead doing something he loves, he still got a family to take care of
He was doing 107mph and she changed her direction without even checking her back. Dunno mate, I’m very sorry for them and happy at the same time for being both alive and safe but this is totally on them. Drive safe out there and don’t do stupid shit because you may not be as lucky as they were 🙏🏼
@@TheSilverTurbo It’s hard to understand if you are blind, trolling or dumb. That’s 107 mph and even if it’s km/h that’s equal to 62.14 mph. So where do you see 30-40 mph?
@@TheSilverTurbo look at the speedometer during the wheelie, it says 107, the person in front may have been going 30-40, but the one doing the wheelie definitely was not.
seeing this makes my heart skip a beat. my dad got into a motorcycle accident about a week ago and it was severe. his front tire locked and sent him flying in the air. he was doing about 90 mph. he broke 3 ribs and punctured a lung. he’s alive and healing well but it was a headache and a bucket of tears in the process.
I just wrecked coming around a wet ass corner. Shit took me out. I left several cm of DNA and skin on the pavement. Still open wounds but i can actually walk now
Never had punctured lung, but did break 4 ribs on a 4wheeler. Your dad is in quite a bit pain. Look out for him. BTW, I was eeeefffffing around on 4wheeler. Totally my fault. Broke a total of 7 bones in nine months that year. Had never had broken bone. Right smack in the middle of those 9 months. I turned 50 years old. If that’s not the 💩’s!!
I had a cousin who used to ride a bike. She came alongside one of those trunks that transported trees that were used for telephone poles. I believe the chain broke when she was right beside it . Short story she lost her leg, and they never found it. You'd think she'd won in court due to their not securing the chains, but once she got on the stand, she was so nervous. They lost the case. This was before I was born.
Respect the bike and ride to live. I daillied for 10 years in the worst traffic in us, only one broken bone from a minor wreck. Its safe if you ride safe. My one wreck couldve been avoided but i was inexperienced at the time and paniced
This was a disaster that could’ve been avoided. The man under absolutely was 100%. You never willi with someone in front of you and the person in the front who lost her leg should’ve been paying attention. This entire situation sucks and I’m so sorry for the damages that were done to her body.
@@KaliDurga108 finaly !! thank you! you two are the comments i was looking for ... everybody call out the guy ... look at how she was fucking driving making slallom and braking .... wtf is that !!
@@KaliDurga108Really? She was the reckless one. He was going 107 miles per hour. Let me tell you how fast that is. In relation to somebody checking their mirror she did check her mirror by the way, but 107 miles an hour. Let him close that 30 foot gap in under a second Kent. There's no way she could have been able to tell an accurate distance and speed from one glance on the mirror now, mind you, she did not Signal, however, the second driver already admitted fault. In fact, the second driver is her husband. So hes at fault, everybody knows that he knows it. She knows it the world knows it. Why are we arguing it?
@@loganclark2887 You should NEVER be going 100+ mpg while approaching someone only going 20. He was behind her, and should have slowed down significantly. And they should have NEVER both been on the road while doing stunts. This is both of their faults, but the MAJORITY is his.
@@loganclark2887 According to her, she did see him coming in her mirror, but frankly, I don't think you understand how fast 110mph is. 110mph is 161 FEET PER SECOND. He should have NEVER approached a practically stand still target that fast. She had a few seconds to react at most.
@@ftrspaulie4476 She's allowed to switch lanes lol Also, they're in America. He's on a CBR1000RR. It comes in both mph and kph variants. But I would assume his is mph. With the quality of the vid, it's impossible to tell. 100+ kph is still 60+ mph. Let's say you're in a car. You're on the interstate. You're going at least 30-40mph faster than everyone else. You see someone start coming into the lane you're in, hundreds of feet in front of you. You should SLOW DOWN. You don't get to slam into them and whine that they changed lanes. They're ALLOWED TO CHANGE LANES. You're NOT allowed to go this fast, and wreck into someone, especially not while doing stunt driving. This REALLY doesn't seem like a hard concept. It's on EVERYONE to try and mitigate wrecks. How do you do that? By not running up someone's ass going 30-40+ mph faster than them. He 100% saw her from the beginning. She most likely didn't see him until it was too late. It's mostly on him to avoid the impact. They shouldn't have even both been on the road. They should have been taking turns practicing wheelies, while the other sat, motionless, off to the side.
My dad got into a street bike accident going 100+. But he had the bike fixed before he was. Still rides to this day. He was all bandaged up and my uncle called him hop along for about a year after
Almost lost my arm in February. Still recovering. Got a new bike a few days ago. Wasn’t sure if I could ride it as still healing but really missed riding and needed it in my life right now. I rode 6 hours straight, parked up at the beach at midnight and took a minute to acknowledge what I’d been through and put it behind me. The next day something was still eating me up inside so I rode to where I came off. Could feel my nerve going on the way. I just needed to ride over the same spot and deal with the emotions. When I drove away my confidence came back and I’ve really been able to enjoy riding again. Have fun but respect the fact you don’t need to be riding recklessly to have an accident and every time you jump on a bike you accept the risks. I knew the second I hit the floor I wanted to get back on a bike and yeah people have asked me and given me crazy looks when I’ve told them but we all walk different paths in life…. Some of us choose 2 wheels. Be safe ❤
@@ObviouslyKay That sucks. I hope you heal soon too and get back on and enjoy what you are doing. I’ve got 65% strength on the right side but it’s increasing monthly. I broke my collarbone and mashed my nerves in my neck and shoulder/ chest that fed my arm and hand. A lot of rehabilitation and not sure if I will fully recover but I’m happy it’s working again and I can use it. I had a brilliant surgeon
@user-gp1wl9ku1b that sucks. Doing something you love and getting it all taken away from you. Omw to full recovery, I'm also suffering nerve damage. It's not very fun at all.
My friend is now paralyzed. Quit while you are ahead. Darwin is talking to you- respect him and sell that death trap or you will learn an even harder lesson son.
I stay very alert when driving in close proximity to motorcycles. They're small and fast, and you can easily lose track of them in traffic. We all share the road and we must respect one another to stay safe and make it home to our families for dinner.
I am sad to hear what you had to go through and for the second driver. Life changes in a second we forget all too much. Hope the both of you are able to live on ...
That's terrible and I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. I think for everyone watching, don't take this as evidence of the evils of motorcycling, take it as a word of caution against the people you hang out with. Doesn't look like she was doing anything wrong, the moron flying down the road at a hundred miles per hour doing a wheelie who hit her is to blame here. Be careful who you associate with, and if you ride especially be careful who you ride with. Of course riding motorcycles is dangerous, but so many injuries and fatalities could be averted if people would stop being idiots on bikes, first and foremost.
Thank you so much!! I am doing pretty good these days. I'm still riding, still working full-time, and still being a great Mom. All is well, just minus a body part. 🥰🥰🥰💪🦿
Story:so when they were riding they crashed into each other the one behind her crashed And then he flew into the air hit the tree and got a concussion from his head getting hit And with the woman she fell off the bike and her leg fell off good news she is all better now so The other guy is kinda feeling better😊
So for some of u dont know the person who hit her was her husband and when Amanda got hit she lost her leg. Her husband hit a tree and lost consciousness and her husband was doing wheelies at 107mph and when he flew in the air his hement came off. Amada did changed lanes while he was doing wheelies so it it partly both of their faluts. They are both ok to this day and they still ride. Im glad they are both alive it must have been really painful.
@@Denali_Rebelsorry bud, she made some critical errors here that cost her her leg. Ultimately we all have to look out for ourselves. If someone wants to do 100mph wheelies then I’m not putting them behind me. Hello? It’s sad what happened and technically it’s his fault through and through. But she should have mitigated her own risk, and now she paid a big price. Luckily, it’s a leg and not her life.
I had my accident on August 18, 2018 at 8:36am. It’s one of those times you never forget the minute of. I’ll never be the same and I’ll never ride again.
My father in law has had 20 different motorcycles in the past 2 decades and he can really ride, he even rides to work in the winter in the snow and everything. Having said that he has still been in 5 really bad motorcycle wrecks and everyone of them almost killed him and he is now getting pretty crippled up in his late 50s!! Be careful people because no matter how good you can drive/ride someone else might just be learning and an accident on a bike is not easy thing to survive!!
Im so sorry to hear about your loss this is my first time seeing any of your videos but iv ridden the better part of 40 years & being lucky so far iv only had one bad accident which was on dirtbikes on a blind corner & had a head on with a friends brother when i was 17 & woke upwith my heels touching the back of my head & tore the tendons off the bones in my knees & couldn't feel my legs or move them for 15 - 20 mins & was panicking inside but being a 17 year old male at the time i was trying to act ok which looking back on things was pretty stupid but luckily i came away just with two badly bruised legs & damage to the tendons in my knees which required surgery but my bike was a write off i snapped one of the handle bars clean off just past the front break & cracked both tripple clamps, bent bothforks, the front wheel & put a hole in one of the radiators so it cost me a small fortune to fix my bike but it could have been a lot worse i was just on ucky that day.
@@matty_the_greatest Of course it would. You don't live with the other guy and watch him feel guilty for the rest of his life every time he looks at you.
Who ever is the PoV rider, deserves to support that lady the rest of her life and show this video to high schoolers to tell them why being a selfish egoist hurts others. Always think of others. Always.
Had. Car turn left in front of me . I hit them head on July 22,2016 . Shattered pelvis 3 places putting my pelvis bone out my lower back . Broke Both Hips & Nearly tore off my left shoulder, which left my hand partially paralyzed. Had Massive internal damages .. Coma for a month . Learned to sit up , Roll over & then stand Back up ! Am walking and FINALLY off ALL PAIN MEDS …! YESHAU is Real ! I REMBER EVERY DREAM & OUT OF BODY experiences As in EVERYTHING !!!!! Was told Never walk again and would be you indolent the rest of my life . 3 weeks after waking up .. WALKED ! I DO MEAN WALKED OUT OF THAT HOSPITAL! Christ is VERY REAL !!!!! Even put DOWN THE PATCH !!!!!!! Not worth What’s coming Next ! FACTS !!!!
Lost my left leg below the knee march 16 2022 in a bad side swipe around a blind corner and my crash bar on the electraglide pinned my foot to the engine and slung me off the bike degloving half my calf and foot, shoved my femur into my stomach and wound up loosing all my blood twice on the life flight to Vanderbilt. I am 25 and have been on motorcycles since I was 4 years old.damn I'm still young but legit got 21 years two wheel experience.Took 7 months to get my prosthetic and I learned how to ride again before learning how to walk on it only 2 weeks after getting the first prosthetic. That's what separates the bikers from the riders and that's cool if your a rider but it's so annoying when I'm getting gas and someone's "oh shit I've been a biker my whole life too but I haven't road since my little wreck 4 years ago cause it's just too dangerous" I ride in a club and I don't push my weight around but damnit there's a difference in bikers and motorcycles riders. FTW keep the chrome side up lil homies
Ok tough guy. Not impressed. Stop riding or what if it happens again soon- to your other leg. I rode 20 years so I get your addiction and the social life that comes with it. I really get it. My friend is also now paralyzed for life. So not worth it lil homie. You will learn...one day.
I ride a lot in Nashville and back in Dallas where I used to live. These drivers really make it to where I’m thinking about giving up riding even though it’s something I love to do. I wish they would revoke licenses because a lot of these people don’t need to be driving period.
They know after the fact now. If they knew before then thats complete idiocy on their part. Im all for having fun but you should be smart enough to reduce the risks not ride blindly thinking nothing will happen. From seeing the other video after they have not learnt a thing from this!
I saw the complete video of this and it was gut-wrenching. riding with someone is recommended most will say. When group rides become a carnival it's time to park. I'm so glad you made it after your close call. BYW, your spirit is unscathed... not a scratch!
My friend's father was hit the same way from behind on the I-10 just outside of New Orleans in the 1980s, the cycle that hit him caused his permanent from the chest down paralysis and killed the rider of the crotch rocket.
It seem IMO 1. she assumed he wouldn't be catching up anytime soon...and realized needed to get back to the right lane. 2. he seems to have enough time to go to the left of her or even more to the right, if even to use the grass to avoid injuries and damages to both bikes. A lot less lost if he went into the grass. smh
I’m sorry to hear this. I really am sorry to hear about this. I hope things are alright for you now. Obviously it won’t be as good as it was before but I hope it is as good as it can be
This is a prime example of why I boot anyone from a group ride that pass in the same lane. Doesn't matter if you're stunting, doing a fly by or simply passing. And if the person doesn't want to get booted. I leave the group ride. Sht, ride hard, ride fast, have fun. Don't be stupid.
New to riding. Picked it up relatively quickly and got cocky and ended up bouncing off the pavement yesterday middle of an intersection. Watching this among other clips got me second guessing my misplaced confidence. Respect the bike people.
I ride wheelies every single day.... Inside of my limits. I dont ride in groups its too much to keep up with. I watch for cars and animals and cops. I like swerving too much to enjoy riding with others.
That’s why when I ride with people who ride recklessly, I stay behind the pack. Preferably don’t wanna be riding with them at all, but.. you always have that friend who invites their friends and of course they’re the reckless ones.
Look at the left mirror coming into sight when he turn right. Proves it: He panicked and forgot to counter steer. This happens snd people should practice counter steering till they instinctively use it. Saved me at least twice.
Dude that hit her was her husband too, she lost her leg.. but she still rides. Idk if they’re together still, I would’ve left him for sure. Just saying.
@@loganclark2887 HE was at fault. She was driving slower, he was going 100mph. So yes, I would leave him for HIS mistake. There is no reason anyone should be going 100mph. Ever. Read more comments before making an assumption.
I've had one friend killed and his gf lost her leg. Another has permanent brain damage and can barely walk. Another lost 3 fingers and half of his left ear. There are too many dumbasses driving on these roads to ride a motorcycle in my humble opinion. Ill stick to trail riding dirt bikes.
The video is in slow motion, and the bike doing 107mph still gets to the other bike fast. The rider speeding was doing a weelie, so when he set down, he wanted to slow down, there wasn't much space to do anything. It was either stop or swerve. But those thought processes happen fast. I can't stop. Have to swerve. The other riders were going right, the one in the back initially went right. The space to get through without getting into the grass was shrinking. Left was the best option. Accidents happen.
i got into a car accident. When i was going home with my sister, there was this driver who went 400mph and crashed into us .causing our car to break and get stuck. Luckily all of us in the car survived.
Learned to ride by an extremely seasoned biker who said never ever do wheelies on the street!! Its impossible to stop or turn!! Something to think about.
Glad we finally got to see how the accident actually happened, remember seeing ur girl riding up to it once it happened, sorry to hear that happened to you.😢
This is why when group riding the most experienced riders always ride in the front of the group.... Learn the rules, and why the rules are the rules so that this isnt ever the scenario.... Praying for the girls full Recovery...
Motorcycles are 100% mobility and 0% armor. Which means you’re not allowed to make any mistakes.
Cars are like 32% mobility and 68% armor
So many close calls
But people overestimate the mobility. Cars have better grip, braking and turning response, the only thing bikes do faster is acceleration. I see so many bikers follow other vehicles way too close like they think they are the most agile things on the road
You can actually be perfect and still die. It’s called getting got by another driver. Many people don’t look out for motorists if they’re distracted with cellphones. It’s gotten worse and I don’t think I’ll ever ride but I always thought I would. GTA will do the trick
The mobility is NOT AT ALL what you think it is for motorcyclists. Cars can turn faster and stop quicker. That’s the reality. They have 10x the traction a motorcycle will have on their tires.
Wrecked, hospital 13 days, 5 days ICU (pulmonary embolism). Jumped on bike 3 days after I got home healing broke ribs, shoulder and torn meniscus. I had to get back on the saddle or I never would again. Hardest part to get passed was riding past the accident scene. Never experienced anxiety that rich before.
It’s been almost a year since my wreck and I still haven’t visited my site. I just broke an ankle after a truck pulled out in front of me, I suffered a pretty bad concussion and busted both eardrums. I’m lucky that’s all that happened to me but I still haven’t gotten the guts to go passed it
Different situation entirely, as I don't ride yet (working on it), but I had a nasty wreck in my daily driver vw gti. 65mph into a guard rail end, totaled the shit out of my car, and banged me up pretty good. That was in a whole ass car, and I couldn't drive by the crash site for a week or so because it was just chilling to see. I genuinely couldn't imagine that with a bike wreck.
MASSIVE respect to yall who have a big crash and get back on. That's dedication, and I'm here for it.
@@AngerySumo91 once you get a bike you will understand the fun addictive freedom it gives, it doesn’t matter what you ride. The feeling you get from being on a bike is so free and indescribable. But it’s a dangerous world and know that its a much higher probability that you will get hurt way more than a car so please be careful and ride your own ride. Never ride above your abilities. If possible I would recommend taking an motorcycle safety course. I knew how to ride already and still took it and it taught me a ton. It’s worth every penny

I feel sorry for that poor girl that lost her leg to ignorance and stupidity and i hope he lost his license and got charged.
It’s a very limited clip…
Sucks when idiots/noobs are in the way tbh. This applies to many sports.
But yep, still at fault.
As a fellow motorcycle rider I recognized all the mistakes you brought forth on the guy doing a wheelie behind a slower motorcycle instead of the left because she knew that you needed to correct over to the left so she went right to avoid him and his dumbass went right and smashed into her

I’m 60 yr sport biker and I would NEVER put myself or anyone else in danger by assuming it’s ok to speed or wheelie around other drivers. Only when the coast is absolutely clear 😁
Edit: saw the full vid. They at least were all aware of what they were doing, and someone just held their wheelie too long. This is why I favor one pass at a time, and parked bikes in defalade. Seen too many of these collisions and even looped bikes bowling a row of parked bikes.
I’m 46, and this is exactly my philosophy. Unfortunately too many of the younger crowd have zero sense of taking measured risk at appropriate times. Wheelies and Endos in the group formation, poor communication, surprise close high speed passes during cruises out to the rural roads… pointless stupidity.
I worry more about being hit by the tool I don’t know who joined the group and lacks a sense of appropriate timing than I do the most clueless cager, and yeah, I’ll bring up the rear until I know who you are.
She was doing 20mph and he was doing +100mph at time of accident.
Glad she lived, when you ride with people who ride “recklessly”, you have to be ready to be in part of their wreck.

Of all the dumb s*** I did when I was younger, biking was the dumbest. I still risk life and limbs but I do things now that if I die it's my fault. Hiking, climbing, off-roading. Too many close calls when I wasn't even having fun. Just trying to get from point a to b for work. And other bikers who would just randomly join up with me were more dangerous than people who randomly shift lanes.
My husband got in a bad motorcycle accident on February 19th and it was the worse thing he has went through and one of many worse things I went through! I’ll never forget him calling me from the middle of the freeway telling he was hurt bad and that it’s bad! I hauled ass trying to figure out where my husband was. I waited outside the hospital for hours till i was able to go in, all he kept saying was sorry! I lost my brobro in 2020(not death lost him but he has a traumatic brain injury, and will never be the same his wife of six months at the time blocked us from seeing him or contacting us. I think she did it to him she has a child from someone else and not giving my brother to me) lost my mom in 2021. He is all I have left I believe that’s why he was saying sorry cause he knows I’ve been through a lot and I don’t want to be without him EVER!! But I walked in that emergency room strong no tears not knowing what I was going to see. I saw a lot but I stayed strong I was sooo stressed out and worried trying to keep him as positive as I could not crying once cause I didn’t want him to worry! He stayed a month in the hospital nights were the hardest for us cause I couldn’t stay with him. I cried as soon as I walked out of his room every night, cried at home wanting my best friend home that whole month was HARD!! My husband is amazing and soo strong because he walked out that hospital!! He has a lot of scars but he is still here and I thank the lord for that every day!!!! 🥹🥹🥹🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I kiss his scars and tell him no matter how he looks I love him sooo much and I will be here for him till my last breath and I really do mean! I love this man with my whole heart and soul!! He is all I have left!! 😩😩😭😭
Glad he's ok! Did he have any permanent injuries other than scars?

I have been ridding two years now and I find myself going slower than when I started. I noticed that when going the speed limit most people see you and they are able to make turns before or after me without hitting me. If someone does pull out and I am going 25 mph I stop or maneuver around the danger and NEVER GET MAD. If was was doing 45 mph in a 25 and someone pulls out its game over.
I’ve had the same experience. When following laws of the road people look out for you. So many ride triple the speed limit and then get mad when cars don’t see them and call it a near death experience. I’ve had 1 “close call” in all my riding but that’s a truck that pulled out and stopped on a 65 mph road. I stopped with plenty of time to spare
Every single motorbike rider who drives a car has had the experience of a bike appear out of nowhere, from exactly where it shouldn’t be, and flash past them before they can react. But a shitload of them seem to forget this when they ride their bikes. I’m a biker and there is nothing more pitiful and annoying than selfish, idiotic, entitled bikers.
Wow it's almost like speed limits are chosen for a reason or something. What a shocker.
I always use caution when coming up behind any vehicle to be sure they see me.
Approaching anyone over 100 is asking for problems. You are truly hoping and praying there is zero movement from the other vehicle.
go for you
Oh my gosh
And if they dont slow down behind you, what do you do? accelerate through a red light into oncoming taffic?
Yea but you have a brain
This is a sobering lesson to a lot of people seeing it. When we do group rides, the rowdy riders lead, and the slower riders stay in the back. I'm assuming the low speed was to wait for those behind to catch up. If anyone riding ever ends up in the front and wants to wait up, I've always found it's best to ride on the white line, this leaves the lane open, and if you turn your head to look back and your bike slightly veers to the left as a result, there's still most of the lane available. Be safe out there folks!
Oh you mean fucking common goddamn sense 101, yea these people don't have the intelligence for that.
If you ride with rowdy riders, I think you're foolish.
The reason she was going slow is because they were doing a we are wheely contest and she was turning around the bud is on RUclips
Well here's an idea, why not not just stay away from group rides like I do and ride alone?
Great advice.... Just don't do it in a curve like me .... Scraped up my bike a little bit on the tall curb but didn't dump it.... 🙏 Praise Jesus, I love that bike .
My buddy passed away last season in a scenario just like this. Except, he was the other rider that ended up in the ditch.
I'll spare you the details, but he clip my friend and went airborne, his head hitting a telephone pole...

I think she took off like a bat out of hell maybe she wheelied also maybe she didn't but for what ever reason she had crossed the yellow line into the on coming lane. Just behind her here he comes like a bat out of hell but at this time she was slowing down and moving over without knowing what the other bike was doing. I think she was headed for the right position to let him come up beside her on the left but not checking her mirrors or shoulder she had no idea how fast he was going and he wasn't expecting her to slow down as much as she did.
I hate it for the both of them they both misjudged each other and I think it comes down to lack of experience.
We both know when you ride you have to be on top of your game and even then something can take you out without any fault of yours and has nothing to do with your lack of experience. I know that for a fact. 3 yrs ago I was in my truck on my left was another truck. We got the green light to cross the intersection my door was beside his front tire while crossing it was a 4wd so that's all I could see. Half way cross he locks it down before I could react a lady slammed into my driver's side door missing him by inches.

@@TheSilverTurboit says 107 I don't know where the hell you got 30-40 from
I quit riding bikes long ago. I was a speed demon back in the days. Me and my buddy would ride our bikes towards each other head on at max speed. And, just before our bikes are crashed against each other, we would jump off our bikes and roll off to the sides of the road. That was the way we satisfied our need for speed and thrill. We were like 8yos back then and we were riding bicycles, not motorcycles. After we grew older, we didn't start riding motorcycles though. It's probably because we had played with speed and other dangerous stuff our parents wouldn't approve of way too many times when we were kids. Now we are grownups, and drive our cars very slowly and safely, always focusing on doing defensive driving.
damn i know ur husband feels bad .. good for y’all for getting through this and still riding !!
Yeah he should feel bad, its common sense he should’t of been doing a wheelie
At this point, whether she was in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd position, nothing would have happened if the guy wasn't speeding... and her certainly saw her first before she could see him. He can't assume it's ok to ride next to her either. All 3 positions are hers...
I'm glad to see someone else knows all 3 positions are hers. Still even if it wasn't her fault and with me being a long time rider for her own personal safety she should have kept an eye out for him just for the simple reason you never know what someone else may decide to do. You have to stay on defense all the time and even then something can still happen
So I am the husband in this video😢 this is something that I wish I had done differently. So we was in this area for practicing stunting/hooligan stuff like 10 cars a day would come thru is why we picked the spot. We had been doing wheelies back and forth my wife was trying to learn how to do them. The accident happened because of my miss judgment of what she was doing. So I brought up my wheelie a good 300 yards behind her and as I was getting closer I was about to bring it down but she went into the other lane so I thought she was moving over so I could go by obviously she wasn't because she then returned to the lane I was in but it was to late. I can tell you the guilt I go thru everyday is worse than you can imagine. It has been almost 3 years and we have had a lot of therapy over this trauma. All I can tell you from my experience is never assume what people are doing. I feel like if I didn't assume she was moving over for me or if she would have checked behind her things would have been a lot different but everyone knows hindsight is 20-20. I hope this clears up the questions on what happened.

Amanda , first I’m sorry for your loss. My dad lost his below the knee before I was born and it never held him back from doing anything he wanted. To me it was normal. I’ve ridden Mx and raced flat track along with numerous trips to the Dragon on a 88 Yamaha OWO1. The comment was not meant as a hack on you , but a tip to new riders. Predictability is priceless in groups. Best wishes , you’ll be fine.
This is why you drive at the speed limit, empty road or not and wear full motorcycle gear, hot weather or not. Just some padding on your knees is not gonna cut it when you fall off at high speeds getting ripped up by the asphalt. A tough and painful lesson to learn for both the dude speeding and you yourself, I hope the injury heals as best as it can even with the loss of your leg.
Doubt full gear would have saved her leg. A bike coming down at 100 mph is like metal shrapnel from a bomb.

Why was he going 90?
I had a cousin who used to ride a bike. She came alongside one of those trunks that transported trees that were used for telephone poles. I believe the chain broke when she was right beside it . Short story she lost her leg, and they never found it. You'd think she'd won in court due to their not securing the chains, but once she got on the stand, she was so nervous. They lost the case. This was before I was born.
Respect the bike and ride to live. I daillied for 10 years in the worst traffic in us, only one broken bone from a minor wreck. Its safe if you ride safe. My one wreck couldve been avoided but i was inexperienced at the time and paniced

Also, they're in America. He's on a CBR1000RR. It comes in both mph and kph variants. But I would assume his is mph. With the quality of the vid, it's impossible to tell. 100+ kph is still 60+ mph.
Let's say you're in a car. You're on the interstate. You're going at least 30-40mph faster than everyone else. You see someone start coming into the lane you're in, hundreds of feet in front of you. You should SLOW DOWN. You don't get to slam into them and whine that they changed lanes. They're ALLOWED TO CHANGE LANES. You're NOT allowed to go this fast, and wreck into someone, especially not while doing stunt driving.
This REALLY doesn't seem like a hard concept. It's on EVERYONE to try and mitigate wrecks. How do you do that? By not running up someone's ass going 30-40+ mph faster than them. He 100% saw her from the beginning. She most likely didn't see him until it was too late. It's mostly on him to avoid the impact.
They shouldn't have even both been on the road. They should have been taking turns practicing wheelies, while the other sat, motionless, off to the side.
I happy she survived I hope she is doing well
My dad got into a street bike accident going 100+. But he had the bike fixed before he was. Still rides to this day. He was all bandaged up and my uncle called him hop along for about a year after
Almost lost my arm in February. Still recovering. Got a new bike a few days ago. Wasn’t sure if I could ride it as still healing but really missed riding and needed it in my life right now. I rode 6 hours straight, parked up at the beach at midnight and took a minute to acknowledge what I’d been through and put it behind me. The next day something was still eating me up inside so I rode to where I came off. Could feel my nerve going on the way. I just needed to ride over the same spot and deal with the emotions. When I drove away my confidence came back and I’ve really been able to enjoy riding again. Have fun but respect the fact you don’t need to be riding recklessly to have an accident and every time you jump on a bike you accept the risks. I knew the second I hit the floor I wanted to get back on a bike and yeah people have asked me and given me crazy looks when I’ve told them but we all walk different paths in life…. Some of us choose 2 wheels. Be safe ❤
Im sorry man. I ride dort bikes and broke my arm a month ago. Broke it all the way through. Hope you heal soon!
@@ObviouslyKay That sucks. I hope you heal soon too and get back on and enjoy what you are doing. I’ve got 65% strength on the right side but it’s increasing monthly. I broke my collarbone and mashed my nerves in my neck and shoulder/ chest that fed my arm and hand. A lot of rehabilitation and not sure if I will fully recover but I’m happy it’s working again and I can use it. I had a brilliant surgeon
@user-gp1wl9ku1b that sucks. Doing something you love and getting it all taken away from you. Omw to full recovery, I'm also suffering nerve damage. It's not very fun at all.
My friend is now paralyzed. Quit while you are ahead. Darwin is talking to you- respect him and sell that death trap or you will learn an even harder lesson son.
Watching that made one of my foot numb horrified me, I hope she is okay.💜
Someone said the motorcycle was going plus 100 mph I don't know about that. Glad she survived everybody survived a hope
You can see it says 107 at the beginning of the clip
@@FieldOfDaisies2468how you know it's mph?
@@FieldOfDaisies2468could be kmh
I stay very alert when driving in close proximity to motorcycles. They're small and fast, and you can easily lose track of them in traffic. We all share the road and we must respect one another to stay safe and make it home to our families for dinner.
I am sad to hear what you had to go through and for the second driver. Life changes in a second we forget all too much. Hope the both of you are able to live on ...
Thank you so much for your kindness 🫶🙏
Oh that's how it happened she may have lost her leg but I'm sure she's glad she's alive I'm glad she's alive and still riding 🙏🙏🙏
🙌❤️
So happy she’s got back up and back on the bike and I’m happy they both got to see another day and to enjoy what they love the most and that’s ride! 🎉
That's terrible and I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. I think for everyone watching, don't take this as evidence of the evils of motorcycling, take it as a word of caution against the people you hang out with. Doesn't look like she was doing anything wrong, the moron flying down the road at a hundred miles per hour doing a wheelie who hit her is to blame here. Be careful who you associate with, and if you ride especially be careful who you ride with. Of course riding motorcycles is dangerous, but so many injuries and fatalities could be averted if people would stop being idiots on bikes, first and foremost.
Omg I’m so sorry about what happened to you and hope you’re having a great life
Thank you so much!! I am doing pretty good these days. I'm still riding, still working full-time, and still being a great Mom. All is well, just minus a body part. 🥰🥰🥰💪🦿
She didn't lose her leg. It was taken by another rider's recklessness.
this is why you don't ride recklessly thinking you own the road and stuff.
Story:so when they were riding they crashed into each other the one behind her crashed
And then he flew into the air hit the tree and got a concussion from his head getting hit
And with the woman she fell off the bike and her leg fell off good news she is all better now so
The other guy is kinda feeling better😊
So for some of u dont know the person who hit her was her husband and when Amanda got hit she lost her leg. Her husband hit a tree and lost consciousness and her husband was doing wheelies at 107mph and when he flew in the air his hement came off. Amada did changed lanes while he was doing wheelies so it it partly both of their faluts. They are both ok to this day and they still ride. Im glad they are both alive it must have been really painful.
Haha that’s funny. He’s doing wheelies at 107 mph but it’s both their faults.
@@Denali_Rebelsorry bud, she made some critical errors here that cost her her leg.
Ultimately we all have to look out for ourselves. If someone wants to do 100mph wheelies then I’m not putting them behind me. Hello?
It’s sad what happened and technically it’s his fault through and through. But she should have mitigated her own risk, and now she paid a big price.
Luckily, it’s a leg and not her life.
I had my accident on August 18, 2018 at 8:36am. It’s one of those times you never forget the minute of. I’ll never be the same and I’ll never ride again.
My father in law has had 20 different motorcycles in the past 2 decades and he can really ride, he even rides to work in the winter in the snow and everything. Having said that he has still been in 5 really bad motorcycle wrecks and everyone of them almost killed him and he is now getting pretty crippled up in his late 50s!! Be careful people because no matter how good you can drive/ride someone else might just be learning and an accident on a bike is not easy thing to survive!!
Dam, I'm so sorry for ur loss. 😢
Amanda, do you ever have any intentions on releasimg the full video?
Actually the video has been shortened since it was first posted. The first video showed the wreck and bike parts all over the hwy
I seen 109 mph when you pause it
Can't imagine the guilt that must be felt from this. That's why, ride slow give space and make it home
Release the uncut footage someday.
Uncut......
😕
@@PACKERMAN2077 foul lol

Get a life
@@PACKERMAN2077lmao
Im so sorry to hear about your loss this is my first time seeing any of your videos but iv ridden the better part of 40 years & being lucky so far iv only had one bad accident which was on dirtbikes on a blind corner & had a head on with a friends brother when i was 17 & woke upwith my heels touching the back of my head & tore the tendons off the bones in my knees & couldn't feel my legs or move them for 15 - 20 mins & was panicking inside but being a 17 year old male at the time i was trying to act ok which looking back on things was pretty stupid but luckily i came away just with two badly bruised legs & damage to the tendons in my knees which required surgery but my bike was a write off i snapped one of the handle bars clean off just past the front break & cracked both tripple clamps, bent bothforks, the front wheel & put a hole in one of the radiators so it cost me a small fortune to fix my bike but it could have been a lot worse i was just on ucky that day.
I hope you are feeling better, I hope the best for you. Fingers crossed!
She lost her leg 4 years ago... This video is old...
Thanks, this is from 2020 so I am doing great now.
Wait I’m confused. Who was driving the other motorcycle! Was that your husband!!!? THAT HIT YOU??!!
Would it have been better if it was someone other than her husband?
@@matty_the_greatest Of course it would. You don't live with the other guy and watch him feel guilty for the rest of his life every time he looks at you.
@@Debbie338whatever helps him keep that tire on the ground especially if something so important is in front of you!
@@Debbie338 💯
Who ever is the PoV rider, deserves to support that lady the rest of her life and show this video to high schoolers to tell them why being a selfish egoist hurts others. Always think of others. Always.
@@kean-leongang1167 no one changed directions and why should she stay off the road when it wasn't her fault,?
Well, since he is her husband he technically already does support her for the rest of her life...
Had. Car turn left in front of me . I hit them head on July 22,2016 .
Shattered pelvis 3 places putting my pelvis bone out my lower back .
Broke Both Hips & Nearly tore off my left shoulder, which left my hand partially paralyzed.
Had Massive internal damages .. Coma for a month . Learned to sit up , Roll over & then stand Back up !
Am walking and FINALLY off ALL PAIN MEDS …!
YESHAU is Real ! I REMBER EVERY DREAM & OUT OF BODY experiences As in EVERYTHING !!!!!
Was told Never walk again and would be you indolent the rest of my life .
3 weeks after waking up .. WALKED ! I DO MEAN WALKED OUT OF THAT HOSPITAL!
Christ is VERY REAL !!!!!
Even put DOWN THE PATCH !!!!!!!
Not worth What’s coming Next ! FACTS !!!!
Lost my left leg below the knee march 16 2022 in a bad side swipe around a blind corner and my crash bar on the electraglide pinned my foot to the engine and slung me off the bike degloving half my calf and foot, shoved my femur into my stomach and wound up loosing all my blood twice on the life flight to Vanderbilt. I am 25 and have been on motorcycles since I was 4 years old.damn I'm still young but legit got 21 years two wheel experience.Took 7 months to get my prosthetic and I learned how to ride again before learning how to walk on it only 2 weeks after getting the first prosthetic. That's what separates the bikers from the riders and that's cool if your a rider but it's so annoying when I'm getting gas and someone's "oh shit I've been a biker my whole life too but I haven't road since my little wreck 4 years ago cause it's just too dangerous" I ride in a club and I don't push my weight around but damnit there's a difference in bikers and motorcycles riders. FTW keep the chrome side up lil homies
Ok tough guy. Not impressed. Stop riding or what if it happens again soon- to your other leg. I rode 20 years so I get your addiction and the social life that comes with it. I really get it. My friend is also now paralyzed for life. So not worth it lil homie. You will learn...one day.
I ride a lot in Nashville and back in Dallas where I used to live. These drivers really make it to where I’m thinking about giving up riding even though it’s something I love to do. I wish they would revoke licenses because a lot of these people don’t need to be driving period.
So sorry about this.
When did it happen?
It happened 3 yrs ago
for the people lecturing her about not riding safe and thats why this happened, yes she knows hence the music..
The whole group was not riding safe.
@@JapanesePiano1 yes yes they know
They know after the fact now. If they knew before then thats complete idiocy on their part. Im all for having fun but you should be smart enough to reduce the risks not ride blindly thinking nothing will happen. From seeing the other video after they have not learnt a thing from this!
Can we have the full video?
Facts lol. Everybody soft af these days and don’t want to show all the details smh
Did the person that hit her make it ?
@@stephen754apparently it was her husband that hit her
@@RatixZhd Damn, imagine the guilt he feels whether it was his fault or not
@- It's definitely his fault. He's going over 100mph
I saw the complete video of this and it was gut-wrenching.
riding with someone is recommended most will say. When group rides become a carnival it's time to park.
I'm so glad you made it after your close call. BYW, your spirit is unscathed... not a scratch!
😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for being so kind
My friend's father was hit the same way from behind on the I-10 just outside of New Orleans in the 1980s, the cycle that hit him caused his permanent from the chest down paralysis and killed the rider of the crotch rocket.
😞🙏
Can we have a full vid pls 😊
No you can't and you will never get it :)
She lost her leg 😳😳😳
She's was seen recently she's on crutches now her whole right leg was gone that poor girl Damm
It seem IMO
1. she assumed he wouldn't be catching up anytime soon...and realized needed to get back to the right lane.
2. he seems to have enough time to go to the left of her or even more to the right, if even to use the grass to avoid injuries and damages to both bikes. A lot less lost if he went into the grass. smh
That and he was going 107mph while she was going around 40mph
The video is in slow motion. Plus in first second of it he was on 1 wheel. He wouldn't have had time to react.
I’m sorry to hear this. I really am sorry to hear about this. I hope things are alright for you now. Obviously it won’t be as good as it was before but I hope it is as good as it can be
Ty. This was 2020, we are doing good now
The closest calls I’ve had are from other riders coming up behind too fast or whizzing past within inches. Scary stuff
Happy you survived!
Was her husband that hit her
Was it really?
@@TrooperLeary yes
@@slothymango how do you know
@@froglifes6829 she said so
I think that's her husband steering the bike into mayhem. She's the unlucky passenger.
What's with her foot?
she lost it
Yeah, after this accident
This is a prime example of why I boot anyone from a group ride that pass in the same lane. Doesn't matter if you're stunting, doing a fly by or simply passing. And if the person doesn't want to get booted. I leave the group ride. Sht, ride hard, ride fast, have fun. Don't be stupid.
I'm so sorry about the leg. I'm so glad it's not holding you back. You're awesome. Thanks for the motivation.
Why not upload the full video…
Her leg comes off
Later at the hospital and who knows why she hasn't
The amount of people who think shes the one whos speeding is honestly shocking bc the one speeding aint her
Riders have to learn they're called public roads not race or stunt tracks.
💯 Going to track this weekend!! 🙌
New to riding. Picked it up relatively quickly and got cocky and ended up bouncing off the pavement yesterday middle of an intersection. Watching this among other clips got me second guessing my misplaced confidence.
Respect the bike people.
I ride wheelies every single day.... Inside of my limits. I dont ride in groups its too much to keep up with. I watch for cars and animals and cops. I like swerving too much to enjoy riding with others.
That’s why when I ride with people who ride recklessly, I stay behind the pack. Preferably don’t wanna be riding with them at all, but.. you always have that friend who invites their friends and of course they’re the reckless ones.
Look at the left mirror coming into sight when he turn right. Proves it: He panicked and forgot to counter steer. This happens snd people should practice counter steering till they instinctively use it. Saved me at least twice.
My best friend lost his toe from this exact thing but not as bad of a crash
Dude that hit her was her husband too, she lost her leg.. but she still rides. Idk if they’re together still, I would’ve left him for sure. Just saying.
@@loganclark2887 HE was at fault. She was driving slower, he was going 100mph. So yes, I would leave him for HIS mistake. There is no reason anyone should be going 100mph. Ever. Read more comments before making an assumption.
I've had one friend killed and his gf lost her leg. Another has permanent brain damage and can barely walk. Another lost 3 fingers and half of his left ear. There are too many dumbasses driving on these roads to ride a motorcycle in my humble opinion. Ill stick to trail riding dirt bikes.
I lost my both legs when someguy appeared all of a sudden in the highway.. That night was a horrible night.. I don't wanna recall 😞
The video is in slow motion, and the bike doing 107mph still gets to the other bike fast.
The rider speeding was doing a weelie, so when he set down, he wanted to slow down, there wasn't much space to do anything.
It was either stop or swerve. But those thought processes happen fast. I can't stop. Have to swerve.
The other riders were going right, the one in the back initially went right. The space to get through without getting into the grass was shrinking.
Left was the best option. Accidents happen.
i got into a car accident. When i was going home with my sister, there was this driver who went 400mph and crashed into us .causing our car to break and get stuck. Luckily all of us in the car survived.
🙌 Glad all was well!
400mph? What vehicle was he in that could do that?
Learned to ride by an extremely seasoned biker who said never ever do wheelies on the street!! Its impossible to stop or turn!! Something to think about.
Something very similar happened to a friend of mine and I.... Not fun at all!!! Drive safe 🙏🏽
I got hit from behind. I didn't lose my leg. My Harley got the hit. It can happen this quick. Ride safe.
Thank you! I am glad you are ok.
Glad we finally got to see how the accident actually happened, remember seeing ur girl riding up to it once it happened, sorry to hear that happened to you.😢
Thank you
This is why when group riding the most experienced riders always ride in the front of the group.... Learn the rules, and why the rules are the rules so that this isnt ever the scenario.... Praying for the girls full Recovery...
This is why I always tell people don’t ride with idiots
Username checks out lol, glad you’re safe now 🤍
Thank you!! Thanks for being kind 🫶
