Never bring a low slung bike to an RV fight.

Any folks using the trite and shopworn phrase donorcycle or lame murdercycle label after this post are utter nitwits.

Witnesses later told authorities that the motorcyclist had made obscene hand gestures, pulled in front of the motor home, then slowed down dramatically.

I wonder what this guy was thinking as he was being crushed and ground to death under the wheels? I bet for a split second he thought, "I'm stupid and really dead".

He should have held tighter onto the bars...To bad the impact knocked him off the seat and under the wheels at 60 miles per hour.

No doubt this will be a closed casket funeral for this moron.

Bet the motor still fires up.

I can honestly say that I'd never heard or read those phrases before you posted them.

I've never owned a motorcycle though, maybe that's the reason.

Had a similar incident near Kingman, Arizona a few years ago. Driving a converted school bus, I was pulling a grade at about 45 mph. A pickup truck impatiently followed.

Upon reaching the top of the hill, the pickup roared around and blocked the road.

The driver came running back, approached the drivers window, and yelled, Get out of there, I’m going to kick your a**”! BUT, HE WAS lol

Sticking his head into the window, he suddenly recoiled as Washoe, my Great Dane, who stood 36 inches tall at the shoulder, attempted to “take a bite out of crime”.

“And if that $%*@!#& dog wasn’t in there I would kick your a**. BUT HE WAS! lol

The article states what the DRIVER OF THE RV REPORTED, keep that in mind.

No, that is not what was reported.

""Witnesses and Antoine later told authorities that the motorcyclist had made obscene hand gestures, pulled in front of the motor home, then slowed down dramatically, Uhrich said.""

There used to be a term - "BasketCase" - for bikes in parts.

Sometimes the result of "Ahm gonna rebuild this in muh basement over the winter" or denoting a crashed bike bought from a widow.

Just reading the comments... MANY Californians have some weird disease, I think. It’s as if they are blinded by their own preconceptions, oblivious to fact, and proud of it! Thank goodness I didn’t marry that girl from Seal Beach.

That's odd, as some of the most inconsistent, baseless and inaccurate statements here were made by people from Pennsylvania and Georgia. lol...

Ya should of married the girl from Seal Beach.

I had this happen to me in Florida, except for the accident part.
