Doing about 45/50. Im in the far left lane of a 3 lane road, usually a fairly busy road, but at this time had light traffic. Next to me is a guy on a crotch rocket. No helmet, shorts, flip flops, no shirt. In the far right lane is a dump truck, obviously loaded heavy.
The squid is riding right next to the dump truck and the DT starts to pull away. The crotch rocket stays with him, they're doing about 55 or so. I drop back because i don't like sandwiching bikers like that.
One of the DT's back wheels blow. They are two piece rims with a big separate ring that makes the bead. That thing probably weighs every bit of 35-40 lbs and is about 3' in diameter of steel. The crotch rocket is right next to him when it blows, the ring comes off shoots straight across and instantly flattens the bike. Knocks him down shoulder first into the pavement so quick I barely see it happen and I'm watching this mess.
The bike hits and skids into my lane. He leaves a flesh and blood smear on the pavement. I lock up and luckily nobody is behind me. I get out and get up to the bike. Dude is jacked up. His upper right arm is obviously broke. His upper left to his shoulder is cheese grated down to the white meat. I can see tendon, as is his left thigh/knee. He's got a deep purple half circle bruise that runs over his ear and to his cheek, likely has a concussion. His ankle was caught by the bottom end of the ring, its really deep purple bruised and bleeding, might be broke. Bike is thrashed. The ring partially embedded itself in his plastics, the crash took care of the rest.
It was bad enough that he had to be airlifted out.
Merry Christmas!

It's good that you stopped and checked on him. Everybody says to watch for cyclists but there's always a bunch that are taking risks and doing illegal **** just because they can maneuver through ****.

Why were you in the passing lane? Maybe if you had been in the slower lane where you belonged the motorcycle would not have had to get so close to the truck. If you ain***8217;t passing, you don***8217;t belong in that lane.

Shut up, *****.
Everyone knows that slow traffic is to keep right so that the people who have **** to do and places to be can cruise.

"Passing Lanes" are really only a highway thing, not ground streets.
