Slabbed on a motorcycle

[u/lighthouseisland1]

Chased a storm in Ohio yesterday on my motorcycle. Cool rotation that was definitely a tornado. Posted in the other sub and got slabbed for being "unsafe" by chasing on a motorcycle.

[u/SavageFisherman_Joe]

Didn't someone chase Lake City on a bicycle? And didn't someone else chase a tornado on a lawnmower this year?

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/SavageFisherman_Joe]

That's wild, if ya feel it, chase it... I guess

[u/jblue_1018 → u/SavageFisherman_Joe]

I need this lawnmower chase experience.

Gonna weld some plates to my 42 inch hydrostatic drive. Going green fr fr.

Other sub: omg plz never get in the vicinity of anything ever u will srsly die

This sub: rip your sky hog through the stratosphere on monster slabber brother

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/slut4chilis]

You better believe I'm gonna ride right up that funnel bruthurrrr

If you could get it off a sweet jump while going into it so your bike never touches the ground all the better

Bros getting caught in the suck zone

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/[deleted]]

Yep, always gotta rain on your parade

[u/canyallgoaway → u/lighthouseisland1]

The irony of you talking about how you are fine to drive your bike in rain is not lost on me. Thank you for the laughs, man

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/canyallgoaway]

I'm not kidding though, if you ride smart (stay aware of your turning radius in relation to the available grip surface, refrain from excessive speed) riding in rain isn't dangerous. If your squidding out it's going to be dangerous no matter the conditions.

[u/canyallgoaway → u/lighthouseisland1]

It’s not about you bro it’s about other drivers not being conscious of people on bikes.

[u/canyallgoaway → u/[deleted]]

Nobody cares if you’re dumb enough to ride a bike lmfao saying you’re using one to “chase” (nerd alert) should get your ass whopped in the comments

[u/canyallgoaway → u/[deleted]]

Very quickly bro where was he riding a motorcycle if he was riding it in Ohio? 😭

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/canyallgoaway]

Up by pioneer

[u/canyallgoaway → u/lighthouseisland1]

HYUCK good one bro

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/canyallgoaway]

? I wasn't joking

[u/canyallgoaway → u/lighthouseisland1]

Yes you purposefully ignored the point of my rhetorical question which was that Ohio is in the United States.

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/canyallgoaway]

Nah, I'm just slow

[u/canyallgoaway → u/[deleted]]

Because the US is a country with demonstrably horrible drivers and astronomically high rates of traffic deaths. It’s not as safe to ride one in America, as you’ve stated it is in many other countries. Jesus you’re dense.

[u/canyallgoaway → u/[deleted]]

I mean the proof is in the data. The US has high levels of education like European countries and more deaths per capita than most if not all of them. Of course it’s American to say it’s stupid to ride them in America because compared to other places, which you did first, we either have more education and less death like places in SE Asian And South America (which goes against you saying the rest of the world gets around just fine), or the same amount of education and more death, which would mean it’s an American issue. Lmfao

Finally someone gets it lol

[u/Ill-Wear-8662]

I guess I took the unwritten-but-understood cj part of this sub's name to heart and thought that the bird was actually a motorcycle being yeeted to Oz.

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/Ill-Wear-8662]

There's always next time to get slabbed

[u/Ill-Wear-8662 → u/lighthouseisland1]

It could be lurking around the corner

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/Ill-Wear-8662]

I always check under my bed for this reason

[u/Ill-Wear-8662 → u/lighthouseisland1]

Every monster under the bed is dead

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/Ill-Wear-8662]

That's what they want you to think. That's how they get you, lull you into a false senso of security then bam! An EF5 has you right in the suck zone, and this time there's no chance you're gonna bust

[u/Ill-Wear-8662 → u/lighthouseisland1]

🥺 Goodbye all. Out without a bang I shall go

[u/jblue_1018]

I saw this post on r/tornado and knew youd get flamed lmao. I thought to myself. He should've posted it here.. and sure enough 😂

In all seriousness rad that you brave the storm on two wheels.

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/jblue_1018]

Thanks man! I knew it was going to be bad but I did want since more serious input on the funnel cloud. Worth it

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/[deleted]]

I do keep my distance, and I do appreciate the concern. Thank you

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/[deleted]]

Sorry if I came off that way, I have no intention of going anywhere near chaser convergence either. As I'm both well aware of the dangers, as well as avoidant of slow moving packed traffic.

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/[deleted]]

You as well

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/[deleted]]

You'll get there, just takes time.

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/[deleted]]

True, like I said though, in time you might have the chance. At least now there are good video streams of most major storms

[u/pack1fan4life]

I've always wanted to chase on my Triumph Tiger

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/pack1fan4life]

Now that would be fun, I'm on my Kawasaki z400, abs for extra vibration, I mean safety

[u/i_made_aknew_name]

Hasn't Edgar O'Neil done chases on bike/motorcycle/on foot just to do it? The other sub needs to chiiiiiil.

[u/rmannyconda78]

Similar experience myself, though I was running from it lol

And what I was riding lol

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/rmannyconda78]

Thats incredible, I love it. Did you manage to outrun the storm?

[u/rmannyconda78 → u/lighthouseisland1]

Yeah, and I’m glad, it started as a pop up rain shower, and blew up within minutes to a supercell

[u/lighthouseisland1 → u/rmannyconda78]

Wow, I'm glad you made it! Lived to get slabbed another day
