Idiot driver texting on her phone AND talking to her friend rear-ended the shit out of my brother on his motorcycle. Traffic clogged up real quick and she had her head down. Dumb teenage bimbo
Pay attention please!
KaJuN
The friend in the car should be equally at fault and should face the same punishment.
darcsidious101
Dress for the slide. Not the ride
KeithBrgstrm
Glad your brother is alive and safe.
NballardPDX
When I was walking back from school last December, I got hit by a driver who was texting. You and others safety is worth more that a text.
kingoflight
Dont ride without leathers is another tip your brother should have enforced.
JTH115
Yup
MisfitGang
That's unreasonable. Nobody is gonna wear a tracksuit every day.
DickenCyder
Your brother is an idiot for not wearing his leathers!!
atlasman831
No excuses for the driver, but dress for the slide not the ride...
ChaoticAtmosphere
Glad your bro is okay and it wasn't worse for him or the dumb bimbo. There could have been deaths. (And she should be fined heavily)
maninspace
Gonna add another obvious comment - always wear protective gear. Texting and driving is bad but the rashes are basically self-inflicted.
Droppedmywispa
Were you texting when you bought that shirt too. No excuse
RaychelElsbernd
I send my boyfriend all the texting and driving accidents because he did it once with me in the truck.

Dress for the slide not the ride

A leather jacket. Doesn't have to be one of those fancy ones with the kevlar or zylon inserts. Just another layer between you and the road.
Law027
Leathers for your brother, get gift. Must
QUIBICUS
Why wasn't he wearing gloves and a jacket?
Unverified
Too cool for skin
exileut
How close is that to skin grafts

Because he is a dumbass
floxsyu
shit ton of people in Hawaii do the same thing, motorcycle and no helmet. seen some without shoes even.
zhukoz
Saw a scooter rider wearing a skirt, tank top and sandals...like just because your machine only cranks 9HP it doesn't matter? /facepalm
QDizzley
I'm glad your Brother came out alive. He should wear a bit more gear to minimize damages though.
illbeyourfriendamumu
I hope you're brother heals quickly!
DownVoteBecauseYourContentSucks
Well folks, this is what happens when two idiots collide, so don't text and drive and wear appropriate clothing when on a motorcycle.
ritehandwingman
procrastius
That sucks. Was he wearing a t-shirt? A riding jacket could have helped a little
WalterRego
A little? If he was geared up, he would've been completely fine.
anusBrokenInstructionsNotClear
A smoking jacket would have been an improvement over a t-shirt
JTH115
Only a long sleeve shirt and two pairs of pants
Kitty101
How're his legs? As bad as the arms?
JTH115
No, he was wise enough to wear 2 pairs of pants so his legs look fine
SlowerDwightYouIgnorantSlut
Dress for the slide, not the ride. Assume everyone else is incapable and keep your head on a swivel.
Fakenrite
Yep, assume everyone is trying to kill you with their cars and keep your eyes moving like you're looking for a lost child.
hangemhigh13
Even if you'rea a driver, assume everyone else is a retard. The minute you put your guard down ...
faceofyourfather
This.
RoymanHenryburg
He totally dressed for the slide. I mean, his shirt and skin colors match perfectly now.
brassknucklenerd
If it seems too hot for leathers I recommend the armour plates made for dirt biking. Breathable mesh, coverage where it counts, and >>
xiphiasgladius
You gotta keep your head on a swivel when you find yourself in the middle of a vicious cock fight.
RosegoldEverything
Both heads, if it's a cock fight.
SecondSince
Personally i like to keep my head on my neck, but you do you buddy!

MandaloreIncognito
Your brother's tattoo seems almost ironic: STOP COMPLAINING - or at least, that's what it looks like
JTH115
That is exactly what it says he's an idiot for getting that... he didn't bitch or whine about the road rash however
Ceracuse
Is this what happens when you go too fast wearing heelies to escape your feelies?
metalfoto
People are NUTS. On the interstate morning traffic jam once i noticed a guy texting with the left hand, while RIDING. Who are you, Houdini?

And tequila!
birdygobyebye
And a glass, unless you are gonna drink the whole bottle.
zolafeels
Dress for the slide. Not the ride. Also, fuck that bimbo. No texting while driving.
causality
Instead of a fine, causing an accident because of texting should result in you being banned from owning a cell phone for five years.
JustABonelessAlien
No. Everyone should have one. No point in needless deaths because nobody could call 911.
causality
We do it to people who commit computer-related crimes.
CthulhuLovesTacos
This!
cosinewave
From the down votes I am guessing user sub is full of people who like to text and drive.
PhailRaptor
Or they're really annoyed that the little brother wasn't wearing any protection beyond his helmet
cosinewave
Not that some idiot ran into him? Ok, he was not prepared but also not the bad guy here.
PhailRaptor
Who says the 2 are mutually exclusive?
HomeRowKing
They're the same people that scream at you when you tell them not to walk around town while texting. What's that line they like to use?
HomeRowKing
Oh yeah it's: "Stop victim blaming!"
ElFLacoGamer
Nobody thinks the girl in this story is a victim, wtf are you talking about.
HomeRowKing
Not what I meant. I fucked up the context of what I meant. Damn 140 character limit, man. What is this, twitter? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
RosegoldEverything
I thought I got it - were you referencing the entitled, self-absorbed attitude of those who text while driving/walking and get pissy when-
CthulhuLovesTacos
This is why you wear protective gear when you ride... (no excuse for the driver tho)
ananamous
I always tell my SO if anything happened while he was on his bike broken bokes can be fixed, but skin graphs are worse.
ProudlyYetAngrily
OMG Stop victim shaming him for his choice of clothing! Don't tell motorcyclists what to wear, teach women not to text and drive!/triggered

Who aren't in the skin graft ward lol
Drosophila281
Only 2 type of motorctclist, those that have been in a major accident, and those that will. Always where your protective leather.
G3ologist
And this kid wasn't wearing enough.
ChocolateThunderFromDownUnder
All the gear all the time
vonKaiser
If you do not leave the house looking like you've murdered a small herd of cattle for the leather, you don't have enough on.
TheDudePlayingTheDudeDisguisedAsAnotherDudeRDJ
Just because you follow the rules, doesn't mean others will. Prepare for others' mistakes.
ojdajuiceman1
Dress for the slide not for the ride.
Hungrypiemonger
no, eventually we will thin the herd, let the stupid people die.
CthulhuLovesTacos
They make my insurance more expensive tho...
Hungrypiemonger
true dat, true dat.

Standard "at least the lines are getting shorter at Walmart".

they have vacuums for that?

No. My brother, while on a motorcycle, hit an 18-wheeler head-on at 60 MPH. After collecting the bits, they used firehose to clean the road.
iamthatonefriend
With that morbid mental image I am going to go to sleep and pretend I'm okay and try not to wake up screaming!

They better be for how many fricking times I get asked to buy one from a door to door salesperson.

I know, what was he wearing?
G3ologist
Well he wasn't fucking wearing the right gear.
Dramacian
Ugly shirt.
JTH115
Yes
JTH115
Long sleeve shirt and 2 pairs of pants, he was on the freeway going to visit our parents a few miles away
LeDonoMkIV
Was he going to play golf?
WellWellWellLookWhoItIs
Well, now he knows why bikers wear leather jackets instead of long sleeve shirts.
zhukoz
Good quality armoured textile is an acceptable alternative...not everyone has over $1500 min to spend on leathers
WellWellWellLookWhoItIs
Shouldn't be riding the bike if they can't afford the protection.
