The passanger had a glass of ice water in his hand and bc of your recklessness it fell out the window and cooled you off. He had a remote camera on his car and you have been identified as the culprit. A lawsuit for emotional distress and the loss of his drink is being prepared as I speak. See you in Court Mr. Dangerous bike rider.

There is something to riding in a group. I've had stuff tossed at me many times, always when I was solo. But then I've been swiped, which is actually more dangerous, more frequently when with a group. A real reminder that we are more like a possum than a Buick.<BR/>Brucecoastdownhillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15272000239450016018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935079612504170531.post-17089418275163028262008-01-29T12:38:00.000-06:002008-01-29T12:38:00.000-06:00Thanks for your words of support.To answer Dave an...Thanks for your words of support.<BR/><BR/>To answer Dave and Tom, I reported it to the police, and although the officer was nice, nothing will ever be done. <BR/><BR/>KJ, If the thing worked and the video was sharp, it would at least provide a record. I am not a marketing type so I don't know if it would sell. <BR/><BR/>Tom, I would recognize the model etc. but a Ford F series King Cab is pretty common. One thing is the dark tint that would limit how many are around here.Doug_Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706105413107924983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935079612504170531.post-44152568444252874652008-01-29T10:50:00.000-06:002008-01-29T10:50:00.000-06:00Your Report makes me almost as made as you must ha...Your Report makes me almost as made as you must have felt, but we are glad this incident didn't result in serious injury to you. However, having said that 1) did you complete your police report? 2) Could you recognize the truck if you saw it again (I suspect we might see it again and it would be helpful to complete that report with potential civil action if not criminal action)<BR/>Unfortunately, this moronic situation is why we need to encourage riding in groups.Tom_Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18103712739396207656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935079612504170531.post-16213806236123025502008-01-29T09:53:00.000-06:002008-01-29T09:53:00.000-06:00I've always pondered the idea of a small bike moun...I've always pondered the idea of a small bike mounted video recorder that would just retain a couple of minutes.<BR/><BR/>My concept is that a shock sensor (as in the impact of the bike hitting the ground) would stop the recording after a short delay.<BR/><BR/>This could capture the actions and possibly even the tag number when the rider could not do it.<BR/><BR/>It's not perfect because of the innumerable angles involved. But would people really buy something like this? I have a $25 camera that does everything sans the impact switch. I've used it to catch video on trail at Lock Four.<BR/><BR/>Should I persue the idea?KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815478033510855959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935079612504170531.post-17156565636712701772008-01-29T07:43:00.000-06:002008-01-29T07:43:00.000-06:00Geez!

I'm sure we all did things as kids we shouldn't have, but this could have put you in serious harm's way. Waht about the police? Did they offer any response?Mileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16408324162110788191noreply@blogger.com
