Darwin award...
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

Good grief!  How stupid can you get?  He appears to have been lucky enough to get away with his life and limbs all present if not intact.
Some people really shouldn't be allowed out in public without supervision.

IMO... texting while driving ANY vehicle should be grounds for loss of license. On a motorcycle it's just plain stupid.

I was in Ocean City Maryland this past weekend for DelMarVa Bike week. On the way out of town on Sunday morning I passed a guy on a sport bike checking his messages on his phone. I just accelerated away from him. Of course two blocks later he went blazing by me.... dumbass.

Just shows how some people are asking to be road slime--I also noticed, and not surprised that he didn't have a helmet!

On my to work this morning I saw a woman texting in her jeep.  And of course, as usual she blasted past me.  I was going 60 in a 55 so she must have been going at least 70 another one for the Dumb Ass list!

Wow! What a dumb thing to do!
Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

For some it takes some grey hair and a few scars before they calculate the long tern effects of their actions. Our state politicos won't pass a law against texting.

Texting laws are a joke. They are NOT enforced.

You are probably right. Doing nothing is a much better solution to this deadly problem.

There are no pills for stupidity!

Where the f*** is his helmet?  It should be a law in every State in the US that helmets are compulsory.

Every day I ride 40 KM's to work on my bike through heavy traffic.  It is astonishing, the number of drivers I see texting on their mobiles while waiting in backed up traffic.  I feel like kicking in their doors to wake them up!
