And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Yep, Aggie. If you can watch it frame by frame, that's exactly what happens. Some serious road road rash, and if the kid's head bounced off the pavement, that might be bad.
Don't know why, but moto riders in Asia seem to be the dumbest people on the road. As much as they seem to ride, they never appear to learn anything about how to be competent at it. Young or old, they consistently make the same mistakes.
Do not ride side by side. Stagger the space with other bikes so you can move instantly of problems occur.
Keep your feet on the pegs at all times. You are not in full control if a foot is dangling. Common to see BOTH flopping around.
Do not invite cars to share your road space. Bikes must be positioned to discourage vehicles from assuming they have the right to take your space. As shown, drivers have difficulty judging how close they are to motos.
Pay attention to vehicles behind you. If you are not the fastest thing on the road, you must pay attention to your mirrors.
Try North Africa. I've seen a family of 13 on one of these things, not to mention other versions with multiple sheep, wooden pallets, water jugs, etc etc.
That person may have gotten killed.
ReplyDeleteBy stupidity and negligence and ultimately the truck tire.
There's all kinda stupid happening in that clip.
DeleteEverywhere you look.
Photoshopped. I see what looks like a youth in pink rolling around on the pavement then disappearing and only the adult sliding down the road.
ReplyDeleteHope you are right. Otherwise the spider was holding the child in pink who did *not* make it.
Delete* Rider.
DeleteThe mama grabbed the child in pink and held her in front of her, thus obscuring her from view. You can glimpse a leg.
