real or fake ?

A friend of mine had a "Boss Hoss;" the one with the motorcycle frame around a V8 engine. Another friend of mine was thinking of buying it and was out on a test ride. He had stopped at a light and before he knew it a woman in an old Buick Century drove up on the rear wheel of the motorcycle (I believe that rear wheel is about 10-12" wide). Fortunately, he was only bumped a little and had no injuries. When he got off the "Boss Hoss" it remained upright and the Buick remained propped up in the air, front wheels about a foot off the ground. The woman claimed she didn't see the (bright yellow) motorcycle.

I also see complete dipshits on bikes weaving in and out of traffic going 80+ MPH. It just takes one wrong move and you end up dead with your wreck pictures posted on the Internet.

It works both ways- My wife was rear-ended by an idiot on (well he was on prior to the wreck) a motorcycle. Freeway traffic backed up and he wasn't paying attention. Hit her square in the back bumper.

He bounced off the car and roadrashed down the shoulder. Knocked the crap out of the front end of the bike and dented the back end of the Z28 she was driving.
