We have a winner! Swear in front of a 30 foot, 16,000 lb. GVW motor home going 55mph and slam on the brakes.

The motorcyclist was thrown from the bike, run over by the motor home and dragged underneath for about 75 feet,

I love a happy ending.

"The motorcyclist, a 57-year-old Ventura man..."

Probably too old to be a Darwin Award winner.

How perfect for Orange County Choppers.

They could build a coffin-bike for this guy to be buried in!

No wonder the loons keep getting reelected in California. There were over 200 comments after the article and almost all were touchy-feeley handwringing over the poor biker, with a few shots at the old fud RV driver. Not many mentioned the road-rage factor. What a bunch of wimps!

Well, at least he died doing what he loved- being an idiot.

The location is a big freeway, about four lanes each direction, and a surprisingly steep downhill section.

But location side, the bigger issue is how the biker lived this long?

My apologies to all. This article belongs under the California Topic but the FR server apparently no longer recognizes state topics. What is “Local News”?

Never bring a low slung bike to an RV fight.

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.
