Road Trip: Two-up to GMR

I often take those few days before Thanksgiving off to recharge and this past year was no different. It having been a particularly busy year so I was excited to have a few days to go out and do something I had not done in a while. Since my wife was able to take the time off this year as well, we decided to take a morning and revisit one of my old haunts. Being fall, it was still quite cool in the morning and I knew from experience that the temps would get even colder up in the mountains, so we bundled up and headed out on the Beemer.

News: Near collision between motorcycle and SUV on GMR caught on film

This is probably one of the more absurd things that I have seen this week. A near collision between a motorcyclist and a couple of high school kids in a purple Toyota FJ cruiser was caught on film by both vehicles involved. Not sure what the kids in the SUV were thinking, but crossing a double-yellow on a blind corner is just not acceptable behavior. A further justification for why we need better driver education curriculum in this country? Watch both videos after the jump and judge for yourself.
