GC vs. Sportbikes: GC ran off Hwy 9 & flipped (and I predict a flame war)
SubscribeOK folks, looks like a GC tried to do a little roadracing against some motorcyclists on Hwy 9 today, and lost in a big way.

Scroll down the page to where the pics are, and check the bottom pic.
By the way, the site is BARF (Bay Area Riders Forum), a community of Bay Area sportbikers (among which I count myself), so prepare yourself for cage (car) - bashing rhetoric from some of the more, ah, vocal members. You have been warned.

P.S. Well, one thing that BAICers and BARFers do have in common is, we all despise fixed-up Civics!

i hate to see it happen, but the driver was pretty retarded for racing bikes on that road.
and that dude on the biker board, herpantes, needs a ****ing chill pill or something. dude is crazy. LOL

, but he's a hero for discovering the overturned car, going down the ditch to see if the occupants were OK (one of whom needed encouragement to stay conscious), stayed with them until he was able to flag someone to have them call for help, AND helping the fire dept. pull these dudes up.Dave
P.S. Kostamojen, I know you're just messin', I know you didn't mean anything by it...just wanted to elaborate on this guy's good deeds.

crap. i hate seeing anyone go down on 9, i've ridden it and driven it more than enough times to know how people can get caught out on it.
racing a motorcycle over 9 is a bad idea, even when you're riding one. just racing over 9 is a bad enough idea in and of itself. hopefully this pair learned their lesson.
whoever herpantes is needs to get off his high horse. 9 isn't his private racetrack, and some people who drive sportscars also ride bikes, and some people who ride also drive sportscars. i have a hell of a time carrying my dog on my bike.

That photo is scary... Its like, half an RS bumper there next to a tree choped in half
I dont know if I want to see the rest of the car
I can imagine what happened though, way too hot into that corner and left off the throttle while overcorrecting... I just hope it wasnt someone we know 
P.S. I think I'd scare some of those barf guys on twisty roads with me not even going 9/10ths in my car and with my measliy 110hp

Oh, and i'd never buy a motorcycle cause Im too scrawny to handle one, and i'd probably end up dead anyhow if I got a fast bike like that... Thats the truth

man, I wanna run that "herpantes" guy over in my 4 wheel'd car. He's a total jackass that should have his nuts ripped off, and forced down his throat. 
Seriously, I'd like to encounter him on Hammy...

Black wheels and all... god I hope it's not him...

OK, the more I look at that car, the more it looks like Dan's car. The fogs look like PIAA 80 Pro XT's, he has clear blinkers, white vents... black wheels...
How often do you see one of those? God I hope it isn't him...
Please oh please oh please don't let it be Dan.
