    I'll agree 50%. Some crotch rocket riders appear senseless. Having ridden an earlier but still great performance bike, another thing is at play for a good number of riders.
    They are looking farther ahead, thinking and responding a few thousand RPM quicker than cage drivers.

    My dog does that, though with correct orientation. Whilst gender neutral status makes him ineffective, affectionate none-the-less.

    2017 Bondowoso Road Race in East Java. One motorcycle racer intentionally shoves another racer. The wronged rider turns into a one-man racing regulatory body.

    lol, some kind of blocked-off street flat track. Funny the perpetrator didn't realize his bump would be repaid, in same area of the offense. He figured it out, with that bag in line setting up his turn. Karma with a capital F...Y..after trying to run defendant; now on foot, down.
    Who wouldn't retaliate?

    I got a good laugh out of this. We have some street circuits and the racing is fantastic and so is the comradery of all involved. If someone has a problem the tools, parts and help are quickly offered. Nasty behavior like that push would see the offender banned for life.

    good giggle as no one hurt(not even spectators). A load of bull or.................... Redbull (no publicity is bad publicity).
    Very entertailing seeing the victim/ retaliator moving to middle of road awaiting his bit of road rage revenge almost shaking with anticipation (reconsidered using his helmet).The crowd cheering his results.Poor officials trying to regain decorum.

    I've been forced to put a bike or 2 on the ground in my day and have never been fortunate enough to be able to do it laying flat on my back.
    A more realistic test would be to have the crash dummy rolling spinning and bouncing or sliding on its side after striking its shoulder.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products
