Credit to John Gibson for his Facebook posting about an encounter he had with a pair of motorcyclists, who claimed he was driving left of centre and was responsible for one of the motorcycle's front foot peg striking and damaging John's C8. The PDR recorded everything and proved their story false. Looking at the video and having driven motorcycles for over 10 years, I'm surprised the lead bike was so far out and on the centre line around a curve, when experienced bikers would have taken the curve on the inside. Perhaps he was trying to stagger himself with the bike behind him? Oh well, the best thing about this story is that the biker who hit the C8, didn't lose control and crash going (likely) highway speed, which could easily have been deadly. He fortunately hit the soft molding on the side of the C8 and kept going. John was driving close to the centre line as well, but the bike was clearly over it and on the wrong side of the road. I thought people would find this interesting. Kudos to the C8's PDR.
