What a nice lady bus driver who went above and beyond to help strangers. We need citizens like that
I’m not American but I feel pride for you
facts dude i would've given that lady a hug bc if she didnt help it would have been over right there
Living in the area, I can tell you there are far more people here that would do what the lady did than otherwise. Personally witnessed a hit and run, at least three people tracked the vehicle that fled and got al the information the police needed.
@@rayh592 I can tell if I run over a can of pepsi let alone a harley in a truck,the guy was running for sure
Thank god for the lady who was quick to act and stuck around, bless her heart glad no one was hurt
Lesson learned.....no injury, win, win!
Angel!
@@gunny_zky
Did the right thing.
Uuhhh Rahh.
hey @TTony0503 did you mean the lady that chased down the hit and run Dump Truck Driver that didn't even know he ran over a bike ?
@@mikeskidmore6754 There is no way in the world he didnt know.
The bike actually doesnt look terrible for being run over by a dump truck.
from just looking at it, maybe..sometime just a normal fall could bend the frame by just a little bit..it will looks straight, but will not ride right..
I know
It seems staged.to be honest.
Bike wasn't run over.
It wasn't.
Safety tip! Stay away from the right hand side of any big truck if possible and definitely do NOT pass a semi on the right hand side. As a trucker and rider, one of my worst fears is running over someone because they are in my blind spots and blind spots on semis are huge. Please tell other riders as well. I'm glad this guy was ok. Ride safe.
I get what your saying but very dangerous for someone in Australia to pass on the left hand side
@@johnmccarthy9529 you're correct. In the states stay away from the right side and left side in countries that drive on the opposite side.
Thanks for that tip from Canada
Even if the truck is in a left turn only lane?
@@rayh592 if you have to ask a stupid question like that you should stay off the road.
I drive a dump truck I can feel it when I go over a brick in dirt. He knew tried to get away with it.
Thank you so much for that info and clarification.
That’s no joke.
Bullshit each dump truck is different in suspension and feel
@@rickvann3489 Its him guys....
@@dook228
Yeah I lived in that shit hole state they call California... native... born there but left in 1976 served in the military out there still have family there but I'll take good ole hillbilly West "by GOD" Virginia anyday. But truth is if your running a big truck you can feel everything and if that bike was truly ran over it would be crushed like car crusher crushed. But like I said before don't put yourself in those situations.
Thanks for keeping the language clean so I can use it for Motorcycle safety.

I’ve been a truck driver for more then 12 years and I have to say you know if you hit anything you feel it the dude tried to run
Federico Bado yep my grandpa drives a truck to and on the smoothest road you still feel everything
he knew he was home free. all those dump trucks look the same
I'm a truck driver too and I don't buy it for one second that he had no idea he hit the bike checking his mirror after the corner would be a pretty big red flag when there's a downed motorbike....
@David F I used to drive a flat bed tow truck like that. The springs were so stiff on the back axle that driving it unloaded would destroy my spine. I was only in my mid 20s but had back ache like a 50 year old by the end of the day, thank goodness for air ride.
@@Raphael-ec1vz whos the sean? lmfao
Maybe he didn't see him but I'm 100% sure he felt it
I drive truck and you’d be surprised what you can run over and not feel it. That’s why you have to stay looking in mirrors
@@1ROB82 funny others are saying the exact opposite…
@@1ROB82 A Tractor-Trailer you wouldn’t feel much, but in a regular cab dump without a pup I can’t believe he wouldn’t of felt it.
Sean is a great boss and friend he's so humble and laid back love this guy
America is like a movie. Notice when that lady said police, the police arrived. 😯
Got damn merica! *eagle screams in the distance*
hahaha here in Brazil if someone wrecks your bike and you don't literally die or get really injured, you actually need to ride the wrecked bike to the nearest police station to make a report.
Victor Oliveira mhm same in the Philippines
Kinang Eagle and then firefighters, ambulance and even school bus haha
Kinang Eagle Every state is kinda like their own little country within America, each having their own laws, regulations, public services, etc. Trust me, it doesn't happen like that in every city... waiting days for police to respond to certain situations, incriminating innocent people, dead bodies lying in the middle of the street for hours, that all happens here too.
10:05 how did no one notice or point out that the roughly 10 ton or more dump truck hit a motorcyclist while turning down a signed 5 ton only road.....
good eyes man. i hope they see it to file a lawsuit or proof so that the truck driver covers the damage cost. good thing clab is fine
k20greene i’m a trucker and I caught that right away
@@michaelbierlein5642 so am I that's why I noticed as well lol. Now if NY would post honest bridge heights lol
Im a truck driver and thas the first sign I notice, I was looking for someone that notices it too. 👍
That's probably why the driver tried to get away
70 years young , driver , rider . You pushed your luck , thankfully all is well . Learned a valuable lesson about truck patterns . Hope it sticks . You said he had no blinker on , yet you “assumed” he was turning left . Never assume when attempting to pass on the right . Defense is the best Offense . Stay Safe .
5:34 that fireman has the best jacket u could ever get
I'm trying to be mature but I chuckled a bit when firefighter "69" stepped into frame
But this is a good video about wearing gear. Glad you guys are safe
Damn, I'm the 65th thumbs up.
Just gave you the 69th thumbs up!!
Always get checked out, you never know what adrenaline is covering up.
This is The best advice I ever have taken!!!!!
I found that out when my brother wrecked a bicycle and went to get stitches in his head. Only to find out he broke his neck at the shoulders
Also if you need to have time off work because of injury then it is goign to be harder to claim if you refused to get checked out at the scene.
Ive wrecked and when i slide something went up my jacket and cut me up didnt relize it after i refuse medical got in friemds sister car an bled on her cover was in so much pain the next day
you wanna pay the 1500$ cost?
This is a great example for the need for all gear all the time! Glad that he didn’t get hurt!
"What happen?" - You almost F'n killed me, that's what happened.
Speaking as a cop, my job is to make sure everyone is ok, then get your side of what happened, then get the other drivers side, get both drivers info, and write up the accident report. You're given 30 days to sign a ticket against the driver. Both drivers have that option. Then we let the insurance company figure out who's at fault. Unless it's obvious of what happened, we won't issue tickets at an accident scene. If it was me, I would've ask the dump driver to be tested. His eyes looked really glassy to me. Anyway you got the best thing going for you,
A WITNESS! Glad everyone's ok.
patrick mcglone glassy because he doesn’t speak English and he has no clue what’s happening. I worked with these types often. Pablo just hopped over here, picks up simple jobs and does what he’s told. Typical they will hire job site managers who are legal migrants and then give them large amounts of spending money to subcontract to the illegal help.
Before anyone gets all offended, I literally used to work with these folks so I’m well aware firsthand how it works.
@@Sprikers yeah I know exactly what you mean. Especially the same thing goes on at most landscaping companies. Not to mention he can go after the company to hat he drives for. He can even get a new bike if he wanted to!
@@dweller5899 I am and it's what I do. Have a nice day 😊
You wont issue tickets at accidents? Wish the cops around here felt the same... Hydroplane and wreck pretty good (while avoiding other cars) and boom there's a ticket. I was going the speed limit but yeah my tires were on the bald side and I wasn't expecting rain which came out of nowhere on the way home. Then to make it worse after being told I was fine to use a tow service of my own since it was on their approved list and I already had called them. Well my driver gets there and calls saying the car isn't even there so after being told it was fine they had a tow truck come and take it anyway so that was that because I wasn't paying to get it back.
@@chrismineburg1163 yes because the truck has a swipe-card ignition that allows it to only be operated by someone who has that license. You played yourself.
Finally, a Harley I can afford. Glad everyone is ok!
th-cam.com/video/RbvUWNM96kY/w-d-xo.html
The good news is it was a harley...one more noise polluter off the road. Bad news is it WAS his fault. Look at that 3 foot bicycle lane. Guaranteed the motorcycle was in there trying to take a short cut.
@@Hot_Topic you call Harleys 'noise polluters' while you run around sounding like an amped up weedeater.
LMAO just too damn funny. Glad everyone is ok though.
Oh did you think HD repair parts are cheap ?
That bus driver is a hero. He'd be S.O.L. if she hadn't stuck around as a witness.
Sean talks a lot of smack, but the sense of urgency when he was going to grab the trailer shows how much of a good friend he is.
craigslist ad.........harley for sale..........never been dumped.
Harley for sale minor cosmetic damage fell over standing still
Might need carbs tuned 🤣
It wasn't dumped, it was dump trucked.
Jim Grady lol every CL bike around here "just needs carb cleaned"
Not to excuse the truck driver's mistakes, but being on the right side of a large truck or bus should be avoided, especially approaching an intersection. Glad you weren't crippled or killed.
Horse feathers, Jerk had no signal on, no indication of turn, no reason to NOT be on his right at an intersection. Oh, and I have +40 years as a licensed motorcycle rider, another 10 in dirt before that, I am 60 and clock 20 to 30K moles a year.
@@JamesAllmond
Caleb absolutely had the right of way. Didn't protect him from a careless truck driver. Also 40+ yrs on the street, age 62.
Cool I'm 15 and don't have my motorcycle license😁
That is true but the Dump Truck made a definite maneuver from right lane to the left lane .. so the motorcycle thought he was going to turn left.. Of course the Dump Truck driver did not use his turn signal at all .. I think the Motorcycle was behind the truck and then went to make a right hand lane pass which is not legal and got into the Dump Truck Drivers blind spot.. The Dump Truck River is totally careless and I don't think that Kaleb the Motorcycle rider even knows how to use the front brake which gives you 70% of your stopping power on a normal Motorcycle .. Where as this model of Harley has a very skinny front tire which reduces stopping power but heck it looks cool .. Harley's are all about good looks not good handling.. or good stopping distance.
@@JamesAllmond I sent this Video to @MCRider he makes videos on motorcycle safety .. you have to ride defensively but yes the Dump Truck made a sudden lane change from the right lane to the left lane ..
The issue is that cars and motorcycles do need to be aware of the fact that 18 wheelers can night make a right and turn from the right lane with out hitting the curb with the trailer .. they need to swing wide to the left before turning right ..
Another factor here is the right hand turn was less than a 90 turn which makes the right turn even easier than normal . Driving Laws do not protect you from idiots .. but in this case the maneuver's by the dump truck were really stupid and dangerous..
lmao love how he just leaves the bike basically upside down, no wonder he's not in the videos anymore
This is the definition of “I had no choice but to let her down!” Glad he’s ok.🙏
Always ride like you're invisible. I would have slowed down coming up beside a truck with no signal on, even in the left turn lane. People say I'm cynical or just paranoid, but truth is, I expect every car or truck on the road to cut me off, pull out or otherwise kill me. Any experienced rider, who actually rides more than a couple hours a week, would too.
Glad you're okay guy. Bikes can be replaced, you cannot.
I ride for 44 yrs now, I have a defensive ridingstyle, Im not a slow rider, but I agree with you, it s not cynical or paranoid, its just protecting yourself, most of the time they dont see you at all, one second looking the other way is enough to let you pass unseen at 30 mph, ride safe :)
Most cars would not slow down though, and if they are behind you, especially a bus of all things (remember a bus driver saw it happen, though I cant confirm her location) you would also be cautious of slowing down. This is why bikes are dangerous. The odds arent in our favor... I think he probably did the best he could with that situation, and thankfully got out alive.
Well said
I ride for 25 yrs. My instructor was an ex cop and was the best. He taught me the same. I would add that you have to predict the future 5-10 sec all the time to survive on a bike. To protect yourself you have to 100% understand and _know_ the intentions of all around you and _know_ who is seeing you. If anyone is doing anything suspicious or unpredictable, then you have to think through all the scenarios how it could end.
I am also glad that you are ok and did not learn this the hard way. I knew someone who did.
1. Intersections are incredibly dangerous
2. Treat everyone like they are trying to kill you. Because they are
As a truck driver, he made the cardinal sin of not making a button hook turn. As a driver you never give up your lane to make a right turn. Glad caleb is okay
Erlander Jeanpierre I also was a driver and it drives me nuts when other drivers swing out to turn, it’s poor technique as its lazy. I would maybe not have cut to the inside of the truck just because I know guys do this, trucker was driving like a farmer. You will see this a lot with 4 wheelers are pulling trailers and not using their mirrors and not comfortable pulling said trailer.
You dont need to button hook with a dump truck.
BigSerg80 just lazy driving for a 10 wheeler
@Mickey Cochran
I agree that the dump truck didn’t need that distance and that kind of lane departure to execute that turn!
My question is, how is actually making the need to turn the steering wheel more than a normal turn would require, being lazy???
I’m not understanding that.
I’ve driven tractor-trailer pulling flatbed, box(both 48’ and 53’), tanker, and dump trailers, straight truck flat, box, tanker, and dump.
I’ve never considered having to turn the steering wheel more than necessary as the easy way to get the job done.
Please help me understand what about the actions of this dump truck driver were lazy.
I can't help but question why the rider would move up along side the truck that could possibly be making a turn across his path of travel at 30mph... 3:24 how did he expect the truck driver to see him? even with the truck not signaling, I still question the riders judgment.
the truck driver will probably lose his job. and even though I think the rider was the main cause, the truck driver is still mainly at fault for not double checking his mirrors.
I ride and have driven large trucks (not dump trucks in particular).
zero accidents, tickets, or incidents for the past 17 years, with 25+ years experience driving and riding.
my last ticket was for changing lanes within 100 feet of a "bridge complex" (Colorado) in my privately owned vehicle.
I know, no one cares about that. lol
in case there was any question about it , the cops show up at 2:01 😂😂😂
That ad for Craigslist should say..."some assembly required."
Ha I like how the truck driver walks up like he wasn't apart of the problem" hey what happened" but as a rider this is why you practice emergency braking with both brakes.
He probably really didn't even know what happened
@@zelo533 maybe, but I, personally, can't comprehend driving over a motorcycle (a Harley, no less) and not noticing. WTF!
@@zelo533 oversized vehicles aren't magic carpets. You know when you go over something, especially something the size of a motorcycle.
It seems to me that a lot of American bikers don’t like using their front brake.
@@Coltnz1 ....Inexperience, they never learned threshold braking, like I did in the 1970s. Now they've grown overly dependant on traction control and ABS.
That cops timing though "I called the police for you too... Whoop whoop"
This is why you don't overtake trucks from the right hand side. Ride safely.
Victim blaming
Nice
the ending with his pictures and captions was the cherry on top of this already wild video, glad to hear caleb is alive and well, i know several instances where people cant say the same. love yall! ride safe :)
I would love a update on how this turned out did the Insurance company side with calab
i wanna know about that 2
this is an open end or a clifhanger.
My mantra while riding: "They don't see me, they don't see me, they don't see me".
Yeah same, except for me its, "I am the air, I am the wind, you can't see me and I am free!" Make the curse yours and it becomes your super power.
My mantra has always been, Nobody can see me, Everybody wants to kill me.
Mine is pretty similar. It`s "Everyone is trying to kill me. Everyone is trying to kill me..." I'm still alive, so I think that it works?
this just popped up and i remember watching it when it first came out, years later i watch all your videos now.
Your buddy standing on the corner is the stand of shame, he gets to stand there looking stupid while everyone all of a sudden has to make a right turn
I've been a class A driver for years hauling 53's, doubles, flat beds and I've driven those type of dump trucks. I say that because i know for a fact that if the mirrors are adjusted properly and you have the right mirrors on in the right areas you don't have any blind spots. The mirrors were always the very first thing i checked and adjusted as necessary. There were several times other people did just dumb shit to me while driving and if my mirrors had not been adjusted properly, i wouldn't have noticed them. There is no excuse for this, either he was a new driver or he got too comfortable with people trying to stay out of his way.
Also in dump trucks and semi's you can notice when you've hit or run something over. I've noticed and felt when i've run a curb for instance, when full and when empty. So that leaves me to believe more that he was a rookie driver.
Plus not to mention that was just a stupid move on the dump truck to change lanes as he did, just total dipshit moment, not to mention he must not have checked his mirror before he swerved to the right lane as he did.
At least someone here has some common sense and real knowledge. It seems many are just bad drivers, lack common sense and knowledge.
I appreciate how you guys don't curse even in situations like this.
Tank straps the official strap of bikes getting ran over by dumo trucks was probably the best merch plug ever
It's so cool you can joke instead of wanting to punch the truck driver ." Never been down " lol !
Caleb man that was a close one glad the bus driver witnessed and stopped the driver.
thank you bus driver
This is 100%the truck driver's fault, but you didn't do yourselves any favors by pulling into the trucks blindspot.
Being a truck driver, he didn't have a reason to take two lanes of traffic for a right hand turn. It's part of the reason on coming turn lanes are set back a bit from straight lanes. He was driving a dump truck which doesn't require that much of a turn radius compared to a truck and trailer set up. He should have drove out into the intersection then made his right turn like the other dump trucks did. Instead he drove like any other schmoe in a four wheeled automobile and cut the turn sharp. As far as Caleb getting in his blind spot, the driver didnt use a turn signal to show intent so it wasnt his fault. Truck driver just had his mind somewhere else. I'm sure he's a decent driver, but it just shows you what complacency can do in a heartbeat.
ian long bull shit he ran up on inside of truck as ir was turning
@@Dyrtbag68 He looked hung over and low IQ to me .. When you are driving a truck you are always checking your mirrors especially when you plan on Turing ..
There are lot's of idiots on the road.. So when you are riding a Motorcycle you have to be watching out for low IQ idiots all the time.. Also for idiots that know better but don't care and try to bully smaller cars or bikes with a big 4 wheeler or 10 wheeler..
If the motorcycle skid as far as they showed then maybe the rider was not smart enough to use his front brake which gives 70% of your stopping power.. I see there is a follow up video to tell what happened to the Dumb Truck driver..
@@anthonyjennings8108 Dump Truck was in right lane then moved to the left lane .. Bike rider thought he was going to turn left.. Dump Truck Driver was too stupid to use turn signals.. Not sure if he was going to turn left then changed his mined or if he was just an idiot changes lanes back and fought with no turn signals and not checking his mirrors for vehicles behind or beside him .. 100% the fault of the Dump Truck Driver.. but the bike Rider better get a little smarter when he is around low IQ Immigrants.. that can't hardly speak English ..
I have been in Colombia and Brazil .. and I can drive safely even though I can't speak Spanish or Portuguese but I have been driving heavy trucks for 42 years.. and still ride a sport bike . Some days I dodge cars like they are slalom buoys .. Plus the Harley was probably so loud that most truck drivers would have heard it..
@@anthonyjennings8108 were you there? The witness said different.
That’s a shame, glad Caleb is ok. Also a excellent example of why good safety gear, and situational awareness is so important.
This is so scary for riders.
This big trucks who cannot see motorcyclists.
So many scenarios, he could have been following Alexa's garbage directions and realized he needed back over, he could have been FB live and distracted, he could have been texting, he could have just not seen him.
So many scenarios.
Either way, Caleb did a great job of just finally letting the bike go and clearing himself.
Bikes can be replaced, lives cant.
Also awesome to always see you guys in helmets and jackets.
And those Levi's!
Save the skin!
:)
I just love you guys!
And glad this wasn't as severe as it could have been.
IDK. I'm not trying to start any trouble, but due to over regulation, and being constantly tracked, harrased, and being treated like a total idiot a lot of the the good old school safe, professional drivers that had common sense and took pride in their jobs are retiring or getting out of trucking. They are being replaced by kids that play x box on their 10 hour break instead of sleeping, and people who don't or barely speak english. I drove 18 wheeler(or 10 wheeler now days with these super singles) over the road for 19 years. The truck drivers today rely on gps, and probably nit even read an atlas, or shift an 18 speed. They take exits from the middle lane, run over curbs, cars, people whatever gets in the way. E logs were supposed to make the workd a better place, but they just make guys race the clock and make mustakes that they nirmalky wouldn't make. Local drivers are alwats in a BIG HURRY, and should always be given a wide berth. Most companies run recap tires so when on the interstate never hang just behind or beside a truck, a 24.5 recap blowing apart at 65 mph and hitting you in the chest will kill you. I ride motorcycle and drive 4 wheelers these days. Stay far far away from trucks, unless it is a 1999 or older model (owner operator) truck that is very well maintained and driven by an older truck driver. Otherwise he'll probably be fiddling with his I phone and run you over. Most Kenworth W900A models, and 359 Peterbilts are safe to be around due the fact that someone that takes pride in their equipment also will take pride in their job.
I know right!! the tire part is what goes through my mind when somebody drives very slowly past a semi
mechanical king I know I think recaps should be illegal, and drivers should be screened for common sense.
Dave Pawson I din't know what nakes people think recaos are a goid idea, especualky on super singles, where you ruin a $500 aluminum rim and send a 250 lb chunk of rubber flying through the air. I think recaps should be illegal and common sense and common courtesy should be manditory.
@@jeffreyponting9524, listen to this guy talk. Barely can speak English! Just like you commented!
@Dave Pawson Almost all tire failures are do to low air pressure.. All you have to do is check tire pressure every day and make sure they are properly inflated.. That's not to say you would not run over a sharp Object and get a flat while going down the Highway .. My Father has a Floater Truck for lime spreading .. 67" tall 34" wide tires Maximum inflation 25 PSI he rand over a short piece of 1/4" water pipe and the tire went completely flat 1/8 mile from his shop.. he had to walk home Jack up the truck and change the tire on the side of the road 1/8 mile from his shop .. I guess that was good luck . Needless to say he did not keep driving on a flat tire and destroy a $2,500.00 tire.. and come to think of it I got a flat on my truck in the same spot and that was a tube type bias ply 10:00 x 20 tire on the front axle I just blew it back up with air from the truck air tanks and made it home to patch the tube ect ..
Glad you're ok dude.
For sale harley dyna, only dropped once in a parking lot. 🤣
+Andrew White minor scratches, never ran over by a truck.
I'll take it how much lol
Dropped from the 3rd floor of the parking lot...lol.
You make jokes but this is what people actually do and that shit aint funny.
Caleb was so lucky. It was just a hair from being a tragic outcome. Also: wearing full gear including a good helmet is what everyone should do. It's smart motorcycling!
The end edit with the pics lmaoo
dump truck driver swaggers up like hes annoyed
port starboard He was annoyed he got caught.
No shit. Seemed like zero concern from that asshole. More like why'd you get in my way kinda attitude.
Should've been punched
@K T you have my full agreement on that sentiment. :)
@K T I wondered when someone would say that...
Dude I am just glad your okay man.
From what I see/saw, Caleb has an angel looking out for him!!!! God Bless
This is the very first video i ever saw of Bikes and Nerds! Love you geeks!
LOL, i laughed out loud when I saw the shameless "Tank Strap" promo...well played
the truck driver said "he tried to pass me" so he knew Caleb was there,what an AH
Greg Edenfield after the fact isn’t it obvious he was trying to pass him?
Peter is right. After the fact it was blatantly obvious that the biker was passing, even if to turn. So no; the truck driver did not know he was there. Caleb needs to learn to be more aware of the surroundings and anticipate whatever could happen. He might have had the legal right of way, but was stupid to make that move regardless.
I concur with that statement stay vigilant when riding a bike , cause alotta times you can't be seen on blind spots, truck is so high you can't see down
I like how they didn't ticket the dump truck driver for not signaling, or for fleeing. Really helpful to have cops that won't do anything. The guy won't learn a lesson from his inattentive driving and non-signaling, or from fleeing intentionally if nothing is addressed.
The guy that was driving the dump truck need to pay for the bike. I can’t stand people like that
It almost looks like he didn’t understand directions and was turning the other direction from site, saw another truck and had a “awww sheet, I need to go dat way” moment and even if a car was there it was getting clipped...
Why cause he's Hispanic
As a bike rider, too. Hell no. I have so many friends who think someone is turning and they gun it to pass people at intersections. It's stupid and reckless. It takes one mistake or wrong assumption and bam. It's all over. Just because we ride bikes doesn't mean we need to ride them like that.
@@epochgames3049 .......Yep, you're the one whose correct here, Matt, Graham and Skyhawk are just plain wrong. Caleb should have just eased off and let the dump truck get ahead of him, Caleb not wearing proper gear, a little bit of defensive driving goes a long way. I'm 65. been riding since I was eight [off road of course], the street at 16. I just shake my head when these guys post a video telling how they began on bikes, and its so wrong, neither are grounded in proper riding technique.
I stay away from all Trucks!! They can’t see
if they can't see, they can't drive.
Michael Kastner + 2 days ago truck driver's don't know how to drive lowe rider's are so cool the Fast & Furious 6.5
No most are just inexperienced and don’t know how to drive. If the companies trained so if these steering wheel holders it would be a rare occurrence
They don't look
@@andieanders4840 How long have you been driving truck?
Only time you swing it to the Turning lane, is when your big enough to need it.
I pulled oversize loads outta Mannheim as well as all over the US. Anytime i seung it towards the turning lane, or even the left lane on a 4way, you werent getting around me on the Suicide Side.
Buuuuut, then again...I had more flashing lights than a NYFD ladder truck. Lol
Thumbs up for the lady, and for Caleb. He doesn't seems so stressed, he toked like a champ.
Now you got a new reason to thank God for today be grateful that u are alive man ppl die every day on bike accidents
More than anything, I am glad I didn't lose a fellow rider. I hope to see you on 2 wheels again soon. Be safe out there.

5:35 niceeeee
I literally scrolled down searching for this comment😂 great minds think alike😎
What?

Nice to see a cop doing her job professionally. Unlike some cops just picking on citizens unnecessarily. I found her very polite
Ok I’m no traffic expert but I personally think that the both of you handled the situation like the absolute legends that you are good on ya
Never pass trucks on the right side and never on city streets...
Never pass anything on the right because these types of accidents happen with all types of vehicles.
@@Wildstar40 Agreed 👍
Yeah I live in Australia and in my state there's a law do not over take turning vehicle. The truck has warning stickers on the talegate big enough for anyone coming from behind to see. But even before that law came in we used to call it the passing side or sui side. You gotta be aware that trucks have a lot of blind spots.
@@billpayer3762 Yea, you can even see how far over to the right he was riding where the tire locked up, kinda telling us he was squeezing between the truck and the curb... unless he normally rides in the gutter...
100% in the trucker blind spot.
They just need to call in the military next, you'll have the whole crew.
I went down a few weeks ago, didn't even call 911, but I guess someone did, and there was a firetruck, ambulance, and more than one squad car. I was like damn, hope y'all weren't busy, not much to see here.
@@jackbandit2114 it's an emergency protocol. As a responder, to any MVA, police called to file report, ambulance called to examine , fire co called to control scene
I think General Hand Grenade would leave it to the local yokels to sort out.
SOP dude.
Police show up to make sure both parties are interviewed and do try to get away or anything (hence at least 2 cars. So if either party tries to run or get violent, they aren't caught off guard. )
Fire squad are EMTs who check medical issues and check fire and road safety, make sure theres no leaking fuel that can ignite, no sharp shards to cause further accidents and no damage to critical infrastructure like power lines.
Sometimes an ambulance shows up separate from the fire truck, just to cover bases incase someone is hurt.
Not that crazy.. these people keep our comfortable way of life running as smoothly as it does.
Imagine his bike leaked gas all over that corner, kids were waiting to cross or something and some jerk throws a cigarette out nearby and ignites the fuel. An extreme example, but not that crazy. Again, what if that driver was a wanted criminal and tried to fight or run, or pulled a gun while the cop was talking to caleb? What if someone was driving drunk or not paying attention and hit the cop while he was talking to caleb in the street.
More bodies are more eyes and chances to notice something small that might be a big problem later. A sore arm could be an embolism that kills you later, an overlooked piece of bike is a blow out tire and an innocent family crashing their mini van.
It seems like overkill, but it's important work. In my opinion, cops do their best work as civil servants. Not military or crime fighters, but acting as trained eyes and hands in situations that need mediation and experience.
@@DanteYewToob I know all that stuff, I'm all for that, we need that. I mean, I was surprised the amount of people. Also I made a joke as in a way to say there is a lot of people. Also with this comment, I hope it would make someone's day, even a smidgen. Just like a lot of other comments I have read did to me. Sorry if I angered you. Hope you are having a great day though.
Love this channel...been a rider for 40 plus years and lost a lot of friends due to mc disasters... much love to you all!
I only went down once - driver pulled fro a dead stop lane into my 40 mph lane.
Slooooow motion.
I down shifted and I'm leaning on the brakes as I come up on his bumper.
I know we're coming up on a slick patch...and wait for it... there goes the traction...
Kick off the back of the bike, my heels catch the pavement and simultaneously jerk me upright and bring me to a stop - and I step of the shoulder.
I had a dime sided scrape on one elbow that grazed the pavement.
Driver never stopped - bars were munched, side cover ground down to where it was leaking oil, but it made it to the bike shop.
Sine I was deploying in a few days anyway, and needed to replace the side cover that was ground down, I dumped another $2500 into the bike and had the motor built.
With the adrenaline pumping thru your system you can have injuries you aren’t even aware of, good to get a proper checkup
Yeah, when I fell and broke my wrist I actually got back on and rode home even though my clutch hand couldn't pull the clutch anymore. I thought it was just a sprain, so I just hooked my hand and pulled the clutch with my arm. 30 minutes later my wrist was locked up and in severe pain, and I had just noticed road rash on my back where my jacket rode up. My elbow locked up too so it was stuck at 90 degrees (fractured the elbow). My whole body was aching too.
There’s a huge lesson to be learned here. Never, and I mean never, especially on a motorcycle, especially where a large commercial vehicle is concerned... never pass on the right.
He was not passing the dump truck moron, the dump truck was making a right turn and did not see the biker.
The driver didn't even signal he was turning and the bike wasn't over taking the dumo truck driver is seriously in the wrong here
Love the aggressive power stance from the truck driver
Gents, I just discovered the channel and I am enjoying it a lot. You guys are funny, bike smart and I like the Christian blasts. If you lived in Alberta we would be friends... I am a trucker and a rider, and even though it is not Caleb's fault for this wreck he had an escape route on his right that he should have used instead of getting hit by the truck. Turning trucks are not fast and Caleb should have had ample time to react and avoid the hit. We all know in an accident the bike will lose.
I am glad that Caleb is ok - it could have been a lot worse - ride like everyone is out to get you...
Keep up with the great vids - Please post a video of you doing a front wheelie with the Niken if you still have it!
It’s really sad that you guys are motorcyclists and you have a camera in one hand and your phone in the other while driving a van and trailer . Knowing we hate people on their phones or being distracted yet you guys do it in the beginning of your video . Put the camera down
That's what I was thinking.
No seatbelt too, but who am I to judge.
@@pub6023 Its not about multitasking you dipshit, its about safety, what if someone pulled out in front of him and he needed to swerve, pretty fucking hard to have full control of a vehicle with one hand let alone a fucking larger vehicle thats towing a fucking trailer. Your comment more than acknowledges youve never even fucking drove a large vehicle let alone had to tow a large trailer. Now sit down bucko.
Ps, ITS ILLEGAL you fuckhead.
@@pub6023 Stick to licking windows bud.
Peter Brummer so you get to decide who can multitask or not
5:32 ..."69" lol
So glad everyone's ok. Someone's watching over you today. You can always get another bike, lives are a little more difficult. Cheers brother!
William Edward 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm a trucker and a biker 100% this seems like the bikers fault and there is no way the trucker was attempting a hit and run.
yes you can feel every bump so what makes any of them special? he ran over the damn handlebars you act like he went over it like a monster truck at a show. "I nearly died..." yeah that's called a motorcycle accident...they are always potentially fatal...but I'm pretty sure the biker was following too closely in the first place if the guy hit him while making a turn in a single lane of traffic. there is a reason the skid mark for the bike is on the far right side of the lane and towards the curb...he was trying to squeeze past when he could have clearly just waited a couple more seconds for it to be clear. I cannot tell you how many people I have had rush my blind side in a turn and I've narrowly avoided running them down because they didn't realize I had to do a button hook to avoid hitting a parked car. There is no excuse for him to have been next to the truck at any point if there is no right turn lane.
you say that he came back out of the left turn lane and into the driving lane...I don't buy it. dump trucks like that run in convoys, to and from two locations carrying dirt or whatever. for him to suddenly be confused about where he was going when the truck in front of him that also does the same run just turned...and it's a route he does ever day...you're joking right?
tell your buddy to be more patient, it's going to get him killed saving 5 seconds at an intersection.
That’s the scary part about riding. The other drivers are the biggest concern. When I was in college, I was riding on a 4 lane city street at about 30mph. As I crested a hill, an old lady in a big Buick, coming from the other direction, turned left directly in front of me. I stayed up on the bike, mashing the back brake and horn, feathering the front brake, yelling like hell. I hit her back quarter panel and flew across the truck. Fortunately, I didn’t have any serious injuries, but the bike was totaled. She was also pretty shook up, apologizing emphatically and saying she just didn’t see me. Really freaked me out, and I was a nervous on the road ever since. Then, 2 years later, my uncle had an almost identical crash, in my home town. He ended up going down on the bike and smashed into the car’s passenger side rear door. He had a helmet on, but it was open faced. He died a few hours later. That was the end of road riding for both my dad and me. Still miss my Uncle Melvin.
I have 10 years driving experience of big semi trucks, and there is no excuse for this....That driver of the dump truck was clearly not paying attention to his surroundings. There is no way in hell he ran over that motorcycle and DID NOT know what he had done. You feel that in the steering wheel. Period. Final. End of discussion.
truck drivers come in all makes, on dirt jobs with a bunch of bottom dumps or these transfer end dumps can get a little crazy. seems like there's a growing trend of middle eastern or india descendants driving the trucks, they're unpredictable especially if they're hauling by the hour. and really a biker or car coming up on that corner could see from a mile away that it was a truck operation, there's all kinds of clues, #1 is trucks going in both directions, especially around the corner, the air is alittle dustier maybe some dirt on the road. you don't want to get in their way, they're not paying attention to their surroundings they' got their mind on "why that loader operator slam dunk or load heavy on one side stuff." and then the dump site and who was yelling at em for dumping over there, and they're checking out all the chickidees walking around flirting with the poor truck drivers.
The truck's rear wheel ran over the motorcycle's handlebars. He would not feel it at all.
don't think the truck's front wheel ran over the bike, only the rear.
@Tommy Salami wrong
Barbi Bimbo yes you would, you would feel a bump
Y'all need go pro's when riding bikes so stuff like that is caught
This bus driver saved the day.
Caleb reminds me of Jake Johnson from “Let’s be Cops”. Looks like him and sounds like him. Be safe guys.
10:32 i thought "dude's just picking up a tomato slice off of the road lol"
Glad everyone is ok... my two cents.. Kaleb could have hung back and maintained car free space around him as we learn to do in defensive riding school...I highly recommend it...
Lucky... my great grandfather was riding his motorcycle back home to his father's funeral in the 30s and had a dump truck flip on top of him... he survived and spent over a year in the hospital... this was several years before my grandfather was born... its wild to think that my entire family wouldn't exist if he had died like he by all rights should have... just wild
Glad Caleb is ok... thankfully all of my misadventures have been minor and self inflicted. Now Caleb can say he’s so tough that he can be hit by a dump truck and walk away.
Love that memorial for him at the end. 😂
I’m a truck driver as well. Just a word of advice, never pull up next to truck in an intersection. We can’t see you. That driver there is in the wrong not using his signal and pulling a turn that wide.
K1of3 as a truck driver I make it my job to watch where I put my truck and as a result I don’t run people over.
K1of3, as a truck driver, you should know not to make a right turn from a left-turn only lane, across a lane of traffic, or without signaling. And especially not all three.
@4:01 "that's like 4 grand down the drain" felt like I got punched in the chest.
The lady driving the bus is real one.
Dump truck dude tried to ditch the scene
Never ride on the extreme right side of your lane especially on a one lane street, take up your lane or a cager will try to take it from you
You should always let the cagers take the lane, If they want it I will get out of their way rather than get smashed. Lane position can help them see you but, they will still want in either way.
Usually you want to stay on the far right or left of a lane to have an escape path just incase anyone slams on their brakes or cuts in from behind.
6:39 wtf did he say 😂😂😂
I'm totally confident that the Dump Driver is a legal immigrant. How do you drive a dump truck and not notice or feel when you hit someone?
Dude is totally lying AND he tried to run. Should've been arrested and charged.
This is the first video I ever watched of Birds and Turds! Lol
Glad Caleb is okay.
Caleb was riding the Dyna, then how do you barely make it? Damn Clickbait Titles.
As a biker who’s almost been hit many times, it’s not the fault of a trucks blind spots. Most drivers just don’t notice bikes until it’s too late.
I'm not sure about you guys but I give all big vehicles a wide berth; always hanging back and letting them do what they need to do, especially at junctions
So thankful our brother Caleb is ok. Honestly, I think that bike's value just went up, because its now "that bike."
