im about done riding skyline. On sunday i took a ride on skyline and was rounding one of them blind turns at a pretty good clip. It was one of those turns that doesnt seem to end so you just keep your head cocked trying to see as much through it as you can while you lean. Some dumb make the beast with two backser had his truck completely stopped in the road in my lane right about the apex of the turn. I put on my brakes not knowing what else to do, kind of a knee jerk reaction nothing like the feeling of putting on both brakes hard in a turn. I knew i wasnt going to make it so i let up on the brakes so and went around the car at the last second thus putting me straight into on coming traffic around a blind turn. Good thing no one was coming. That asshole had stopped there so he could talk to a friend that was walking along the other side of the road. After i passed that mess i pulled over my limbs shaking, took my helmet off and yelled "what the make the beast with two backs?" at him. He shrugged his shoulders and said sorry at least, then moved on. Why the hell would someone completely stop in the lane right in the middle of a blind turn like that?
First, glad you are alive, ass-ending a stopped vehicle has been historically bad for motorcycles
<sorry, asshole response>
cuz skyline is a residential zone and not a race track
</ end asshole response>
it is just another example of folks in cages not having situational awarness due to them being surrounded with several tons of metal
or
an example of standard human selfishness
or
Humans are just make the beast with two backsing stupid assholes (I like this one best)
