Of course after this we will not hear a word about this as usual... let me guess no lights speeding and merging illegally. Someone needs to take the pigs vehicles away, they clearly cannot use them responsibly.

Motorcops have to be some of the bravest individuals on Earth. Anybody who can ride a scoot in Vegas without fear of getting killed is either really brave, tough, crazy or all of the above. Vegas is just about the scariest place on the planet to ride a bike, even scarier than L.A.............
PETCO
you are an idiot. I rode my bike around vegas for years, nothing brave about it. The roads are wide and you have to be an idiot to have problems.
One time I saw a metro cop dump his bike over behind the Thomas and Mack...his leg was pinned under it...i was lucky to have my digital camera in my pocket cause i was going to a basketball game. I thought I was going to help him...I took a few pictures and left his dumb@#$ on the ground. They are just so worthless I couldn't help it. Now that I think back on it I am lucky I didn't get shot.
Rebinreno:
You should have been.
Glad he's ok, that donut layer of fat saved him, lol.
Are they still selling Yugos? We could get a good deal on those from Ben Stepman.
...To Rebinreno:
Just hope I never say anything to slight you,really....
Just don't mutate with that blogger of all bloggers- "KillerB", I'd hate to see the monster that would result..
I am truly humbled to be on the same page as such masculine greatness.
I love keyboard heroes who snipe at the guys with the guts to go out there and do the job you can't. Your Mom must be so proud.
Hope the guy is Ok.
I'm sure it was the other guy's fault.. if there was another guy. Otherwise mechanical failure.
