    Biker gets beamed in the head while riding next to flatbed

    In the clip, a biker is recording himself on a motorcycle when he pulls up alongside a flatbed hauling some construction equipment. Everything seems to be going well until you notice the roof of the machine starting to come loose in the background.

    Wow just wow! That's why I always told my family and all my friends, don't screw around a semi truck, go to pass them, then pass them don't screw around, and don't hang out riding behind them, always give them plenty of room!

    And this kids is why if you decide to mount a suicide sadle then wear a gods ###### helmet. Imagine if he had been like those other idiots i see daily cruseing in shorts and a T with flipflops. Methinks either a crushed skull or at a minimum he woulda taken a tumble into heavy traffic

    Either the passing truck slowed down a lot or the guy on the bike sped up a lot. Compare the passing rate of the truck before and when the backhoe is beside the biker.

    One more reason to never pace beside a tractor-trailer rig, and to never, ever F around when riding a motorcycle.

    Stupid sumbuck is lucky he didn't become road pizza. Imagine if that had been an outrigger pad or basically anything else other than the roof panel which is probably the most lightweight component of the entire machine.
