I've watched several of DanDanTheFireman's videos, and he does a good job..

...explaining what the riders are doing wrong, and what action they should be taking. That includes recognition of road signs that indicate sharp turns (so slow down). His big three actions are either (a) emergency braking, (b) emergency swerving, or (c) emergency accelerating to escape the hazard. Most of the time there is excess speed involved. I also don't understand why riders are "lane splitting" at fairly high speed with stopped or very slow traffic. Talking ~50 mph driving through and by slow/stopped traffic.

In my book, the Isle of Man TT races take the cake for worst crashes ever.**

Those guys are certifiably insane.

Same here. I have a weird fascination with watching those races.

One of the comments mentioned a lack of fear, see inside for their quote.

I read that same comment, and I can't say I disagree!**

I wonder if this guy is dead yet**

It's only a matter of time before he bounces off a light pole or guardrail.

Definitely a component of my road rage**

I have come to despise motorcycles. At least, the "crotch rocket" types.

On the plus side, I'd vastly prefer people who are that reckless and stupid
