Default Guy in front of me ran off the road and crashed

4 lane road doin about 60 some guy a couple hundred feet in front of me on a Dyna ran right off the road and went *** over elbows in the dirt. By the time I got pulled over in a safe place I see him standing up, went back to help get the bike back on the road and see if it's rideable and if he can ride it. He wasn't hurt, when I asked him why he went off the road ( I thought he might have gotten a flat) he said he was watching me in his mirror when the road turned and he didn't. There are some real riders out there!

Wow, I can't fathom why people want to look everywhere but where they are going. I bet he felt pretty stupid although the fact that he admitted it makes me think his pride couldn't be bruised further.

Sheet happens, even to the best of us. He's lucky the turn wasn't to the right and he plowed into a minivan!

It was all skuffed up, he was going to ride it. He was lucky it wasn't boulders or a cliff, just dirt
