Video compilation showing typical fails. Hacks rode by dumbs or drunk guys, but tge same can happen if you are "more brave thn trained".

Hi Igor,
Good to see you're back on the forum. It's been a while.

Yes, a longer while. Peter Pan called me few days (or weeks..) ago. I live something lonley in the smallest village of Poland. Now I don't make new rigs(temporarily), I moved and at the moment i work as mechanician of older Russian military vechicles, starting at Ural and few UAZs, ending at T34 tank (not kidding). I got this movie from a friend, so I shared it with the most appropriate forum.

Hello Igor,
exactly that video I put a week ago on the German rig forum when a specialist for 2 wheel accidents asked for help on a deadly rig accident. He couldn't imagine how a rig could "jump up" vertically on a Autobahn entrance.
I do, as a sugar beet send me into a harvested field on the left roadside once.
Yes, this video is an excellent collection of what not to do on a rig.

It was good to hear you again. I'll see if I can visit you the next occasion work calls me. as you live now much closer to my German clients. In spring I had the change to ride some of the forest roads down the Odra/Oder river towards the Baltic sea. In deed some of the villages seem to be stuck in 1900, that lonely they are. A rig is in my eyes the best form of transportation in those forest roads. On 2 wheels you feel a bit unhealthy in the deep sand in the middle of nowhere.

Tough work, but better heat with wood then coal like in Szcezin. Much healthier.

Hello Igor

I have not been riding much lately because I was depressed about my last sidecar rally being such a failure. This video you posted has made me feel much better and now I want to ride more. It is not funny when people do such stupid things but I could not stop laughing at some of them. My life is very good very good compared to others. Thank you for making me think about it.
