    Can't believe a car would do this but then again there are a lot of stupid cage drivers out there. Heard right after he was hit he proposed to his girl friend and she said first get ride of the motorcycle. Well women I think you can say after watching this video that its pretty much toast.
    If he was smart he would sue the cage driver dump the girl friend (she'll be trouble down the road) and buy a new Harley. JMHO

    $100 says the person that hit him was texting or on the phone...

    You could see smoke from his rear tire, traffic slowed and he was late
    on the brakes the car never stopped and went right over him.

    Amazing he lived...

    $100 bucks on the a**h**e in the cage saying "I didn't see him". I hope the biker gets the right lawyer. I was in Az a couple of years ago when a truck took out 9 bikers at a light. Holy crap WTF.

    I saw the news report this afternoon and the girlfriend definitely said the bike had to go. She must be really good or she is a controller. I say dump her and get a Harley, it will last longer and treat you better. ;)

    The blame lies with the cager, not the motorcycle. Girl friend should see that. A person with ultimatums is a person to avoid.
