We’ve all heard the stories of how someone Crashed a motorcycle from friends and family, but coming across one and seeing it first hand is not something to be taken lightly. Sadly, our travels take us past a motorcycle mishap - reminding us just how dangerous our beloved sport can be.
It brings to mind how quickly things can go wrong even for the most vigilant and careful.
Our thoughts and prayers are for everyone to have a safe and grand summer out exploring - keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up.

I bought a 59 Harley super Glide when I got out of the USMC in 67. Rode it until I bought a smaller Dyna Lowrider in 2001. I am bumping 80 now and slowing down. I live on the Gulf Coast in Alabama. A group of us ride to the Smokies most every October and ride all week ridding 1000 miles in the mountains. I thought I knew most everything about them until I watched your video. I have a jacket just for the mountains. I sewed a sleeve and glove on my left shoulder so I didn't have to wave at every biker. Thanks so much for your videos. Be safe.

I'm amazed this is the first time you've come across a motorcycle accident in your travels. It is not uncommon in that area. Starke reminder of how random life is and how lucky ya'll are to be able to experience what so many of us can only dream of.

@tim_g3478 2 года назад

Beautiful scenery and waterfalls there. It’s too bad about the accident and as you said you don’t know the details. We can feel bad for them but our primary concern should be keeping ourselves from a similar potential situation. Practice riding skills and learning from others with more experience than you is always helpful. Too many people with big bikes only know how to ride in a straight line and have no idea how to take an uphill or downhill tight curve safely on a bike. As many have shown us here on RU-vid, it’s not the bike, it’s the rider that is in control

I’m glad to hear you guys are ok. My wife and I were on a ride through the Santa Cruz mountains earlier this year and passed by 2 fatal motorcycle accidents that weekend. Unfortunately we saw both people as one was being given CPR. My heart goes out to the families of those motorcyclists. I’m stay grateful every day.

@michaelreid2329 2 года назад

I've looked forward to your vlogs on a Monday morning here in Oz for the last year or so. Unplanned "retirement" at 62 does have an upside. Less miles travelled these days for medical reasons, but I keep the Victory polished and maintained. Watching your videos keeps me a bit more grounded, so thanks for your choice of roads and destinations. Keep 'em coming and ride safe and remember Chris, when you get caught up in the emotion of things it's a good idea to pull over and breath deeply for a while.

@marcosviniciuscardoso1710 2 года назад

Hello there! Greetings from Brazil! I've been watching you guys' videos since before pandemic. And I consider the content the purest expression of what motorcycling really is. So, congrats! And to be in shock or get emotional when seeing such accidents, just shows how warm heart you guys are, and shows the sense of being on the road, anything can happen, and yes, it is dangerous. However, warm hearts like you people can turn motorcycling a better activity Worldwide when this sense of humanity and brotherhood comes up the way Chris spontaneously let it show... Big hug, thanks for continuing sharing beautiful videos and always take care!

I know that I personally wouldn't want to miss out on the joy of riding a motorcycle based on what might happen. You two be safe and keep doing what you do. (BTW, those were some beautiful rodes!)

@timlubbers2884 2 года назад

Just went through Sturgis, and I can say that out of the 100's of riders I saw most had no clue how to corner properly. Before the rally officially started I saw 3 accidents and all three were because the rider couldn't navigate a corner. Be safe ... 🙏🙏

@roadglide 2 года назад

Good point. It’s also more difficult when you may have consumed alcohol. These National Rallies are notorious offenders serving it. Adults who know better end making unsafe decisions. Would not be surprised if that were the case.

@timlubbers2884 2 года назад

@@roadglide I certainly would not disregard that observation. But I saw way to many riders that hug the center on corners to account for alcohol,, I think it's more just riders that have never been shown or trained in proper riding ....

@TheFalcro1234 2 года назад

This tragic reality of another rider's crash is a stark reminder for all of us of the inherent danger in the hobby/lifestyle we have chosen. The question Chris asks is so poignant. "What are you supposed to do?" I can almost guarantee that the rider/s involved in that crash would say to go ride, enjoy the rest of the day on your bike and get the wind therapy we all strive for. This is why I always say stay smooth and keep the shiny side on top. Ride like everyone is aiming for you and no one can see you.

@EddieSprouse 2 года назад

I was born in Transylvania county. I lived there most of my life. Most of my family still does. There are so many great roads there. Some roads see very little traffic and are great for bikes. My heart goes out to the rider that was in the wreck. My heart goes out to Chris too. Hearing her break down shows her heart for others, and that's not a bad thing. Other than the accident, I hope you enjoyed your time there. I'd sure like to show you both around sometime. You are doing what I hope to do one day. For now, I do primarily short rides around our new home in Little River on the coast of SC. Occasionally I'll take a longer ride and even camp. There is nothing like it.

I’m catching up on your videos. I was riding the same areas in June (Yes it was raining then too) Saw two riders down on the BRP near Boone NC one of whom had passed me in the rain and fog An hour before. It is heartbreaking to see others hurt and lose their lives , But at the same time the majority of these accidents can be avoided by slowing down, being alert and not riding beyond our skill levels.

@nomadthetraveler5782 2 года назад

Don't be so sure something can't fall off because you have I tied on so good. I was cruising on my Ultra Classic with my small ruck tied on my rack on top of my trunk. It was secured to the rack with bungee netting and some straps especially for tying down things like that. I was riding from Spokane, WA to my place in Montana. As I was cruising at 75mph on I-90 east of Kellogg and west of Wallace before the curves. You may have noticed a bump coming off one of the bridges there. Just after I went over it, I glanced in my left mirror and saw my ruck fall off my trunk and start cart wheeling and then sliding down the center of the lane behind me. I pulled over immediately and ran back to get my ruck. I picked my ruck up and brought it back to the bike where my wife was waiting. When I got home I was able to open my ruck and inspect everything. Yep, my laptop was definitely crunched and I had to buy a new one to replace it. It's still the best laptop I've ever had. Even better than the one I replaced it with. I had special peripheral equipment I could use with the specific ports on the old laptop. I still can't use any of that equipment now because I don't have any of the right types of ports on the replacement laptop. I was positive I had my ruck very well secured and... you know what they say about even the best laid plans... God speed my friends... Nomad

Good morning, without passing judgment on the accident, you guys were a Class act sending prayers out for all involved. Prayers up always for your safety and all all of us on two wheels. I ride with a military group,so far this year in the tri state area of Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky, we have had two major accidents with one a fatality, and one incident of road rage by a a driver in a car that for whatever reason wanted to break up the motorcade while we we escothe remains of a fallen brother from the fatal accident mentioned earlier. Yes it is dangerous for US MOTORCYCLE RIDERS, Yes we choose to live, and love this life. Imo our risk has greatly increased with the amount of distracted driving with use of so many electronics in vehicles and on motorcycles. Please continue to ride safe, ride your own ride, ride with respect, and PLEASE, TO ALL, RIDE and DRIVE SOBER... Love n Respect to you both. Prayers up...

You sure got that right. I came across an accident a while back where a dude on a Harley was behind an asphalt truck going up a grade in Mohave desert. 395 in Ca. Anyway somehow the truck lost its load and the Harley guy lost control and spun out clear across 3 lanes and was thrown. Anyway sadly the rider passed away at the scene. It was sad.😨💔 it's sad for all who lost him. Prayers!🙏🙏. I used to be on Harleys for years. No helmet laws back then. Whew.

Hard to see an accident for sure. Two weeks ago I had a 20 foot section of steel guard rail come off a truck in a sweeper that was coming right at me in the opposing lane. I have ridden over 400,000 miles on motorcycles, but it brought home the fact that you never know. You can be totally responsible, ride safely and have some idiot that did not chain down his load properly take you out. He never even stopped to see if he had taken us out. Fortunately, I narrowly avoided it hitting me, but only by the grace of God. Ride safe... I loved seeing you and chatting in Springfield. You have a place to stay if you make it to Eastern PA. You have my card and contact information.

Similar situation happened to me. I am a Retired Firefighter/Paramedic. We was leaving Deals Gap headed to Cherohala Skyway. Went about 43 miles and I was first on on a fatality wreck. There was nothing I could do for the lady but was able to take care of her husband until we could get an ambulance there, That took 1 hour. Then another hour before the Highway Patrol got there.

@byever1 2 года назад

Only explanation I can come up with is the rider ran the corner wide and side swiped the unfortunate car. Looking that it could have been a head on without the car breaking hard. Wrong place at the wrong time. Your brain can just go on autopilot thinking about anything but what's happening in front of you. Boom you are in the ditch. Seen it happen with my father right in front of me. He walked away with a sore knee. But I knew that was his last ride. Dumb stupid mistakes maybe you'll walk away with in a car. Almost always fatel on a motorcycle. Makes you feel sick seeing or hearing a rider down but you can only control what you can control.

My favorite part of the Blue Ridge is Grandfather Mountain. We were up there two weeks ago but did not ride to the top. Back in the 90's it cost $9 to ride to the top and we did. Now it is $48 for one motorcycle, two people. We did not make it this time Enjoy our part of the country.

Helite air deployment system. Motorcycles are great but as we know, have an element of danger. I ride with a Helite safety vest and I also have a Helite adventure jacket when it’s cooler out.

How you ride makes a big difference

I still have a cruiser and have been retired 14 years already BUT haven't been able to go on a cruise for about ten years because my wife of 49 years has dementia! In short, it's a tough one! 😥

It’s always unsettling to see a fellow motorcyclist involved in an accident. Our prayers go out to the riders family and friends.

Always sad to see a biker down. Hope he's back up and runnin' down the highways soon. Those twisty mountain roads demand respect, and woe to to those who don't heed the warning signs in those parts. Drive the road and the conditions, and leave a margin for error and the unexpected folks, it may save your life.

I can't believe you guys did not stop to find out what happened, or help if needed. To keep you from having a similar thing happening to you I investigate every accident I come apron so I can learn and keep myself from the same.

Leland we were not the first on the scene and there were several people that were there doing what could be done. I cut most of the accident out it was horrible and there wasn’t anything that we could have done. It was quite emotional for both of us.

A friend of mine was riding up the M5 towards Birmingham he was riding between the static cars when he hit a ladder end on at 30mph he said it was like riding on a jack hammer but after pulling over at the next motorway stop There was no damage to the bike but his man tackle was battered !

Never a good day to see a biker down. Ours is a dangerous life, one that I enjoy immensely, but recognize that we take a chance in pursuit of our passion. Ride safe, head on a swivel!

I crashed my ebike while pulling back into my camping spot hitting a mud puddle. Wasn't a spot on me that wasn't cut or bruised except for my head, wasn't wearing a helmet. (equivalent to road rash)
