Exactly...I'm not saying myself or the people I ride with are angels, but we don't act like retard squid noobs in traffic drawing as much attention to ourselves as possible. I do know, however, if I was doing a wheelie and crashed, and the ....... people just kept on going, I would be choked. I've never, EVER left a rider that has crashed, and I've witnessed a hell of a lot of crashes. Even people I don't know, it's the decent thing to do.

People did stop though, just not the op.
 
The camera does not show the angle but when I pulled to the right my buddy on the ktm was push towing the downed bike (also ktm)and the r1 dude was cruising along with the red and blue flashes right behind him! It was a huge turn out about 60 bikes, usually about 30!! Ironically the wheelie guy was the r1 riders friend; both first timers on the ride!! Any ways thought I'd share one moment of this usually harmless ride. Grazie
 
Before the wheelie!

Stunting, putting others in danger, that's what I saw. And massing of riders across all multiple lanes of the road. Looked more like a mob than an organized event. I'd just be happy cruising the beautiful sunset alone. Unfortunate state of maturity of some young adults is my guess. This is what those in the great war fought for, I guess- The freedom to not have to think about our effects on others. If I saw that craziness, I would not be interested in being anywhere near it.
 
Still part of the group...if you crash in a corner going triple the speed limit how is that any more legal?

Anyway I guess OP never watched Top Gun. Never leave your wing man!!!!
 
If wheelieman's insurance adjuster spots this video on youtube it could affect his benefit claim and future coverage. (It would in Canada.)

Might turn into a very expensive lesson, especially once you factor in the other bike he took out plus the personal injury claim of the other rider (If he were to make one).
 
Heading down massive highways with huge amounts of morons and no corners sure is my idea of fun!

Sucks for the guy that got hit but what do you expect in the middle of that?!

I agree, my comment on the cops wasn't meant to make light of the dislike for stupid riders. Good rule of thumb: if you wouldn't trust them with any other potentially dangerous object in your presence (chainsaw, firearm, etc) don't ride with them! :D

that's wisdom there, I like that!
 
I just got back from a Class at Laguna Seca. Reg says that when you put gas in your motorcycle its like handling a loaded gun and should be handled with the same respect and care. If we all thought this way it may save us all a world of hurt.

There is zero difference between the group in the first video and this group. All effing squids making real enthusiasts look like scumbags.

Selfish squids go to some parking lot in the dark with your loser friends and go stunt your rashed GXSR with 90 degree bar and win the free tattoo prize of being top stunta.
