trucking sabotage, March 16, New Braunfels Texas truck stop



Skip the first minute and 23 seconds, then this culprit checks out the cab, at minute 2:17 he pulls the kingpin keeping the trailer attached to the truck.

Just another dash cam that kept rolling and caught the unexpected!

2 out of 3 drivers on the road are assholes. Here is the proof. Camaro would like to get somewhere, pick up truck asshole wants to be a bully and prevent that, and trucker just wants to get somewhere safely.



Tim Linton was behind them with his new dash cam that only cost 40 dollars( I frequently remind you all to get one!) and mentioned that this was on the I 90 in New York near Batavia

In the comments it's alleged that the camaro driver was drunk at .19 bac, did not have a valid drivers license, was charged DWI, unlawful operation of a motor vehicle, several traffic violations, and arrested

about a million Trek bikes are now recalled... from 1999-2015


the Wisconsin company Trek had the bikes made in Taiwan and China from Sept 1999 to 2015, at prices between $480 to $1,650.

The recall covers 900,000 Trek bikes in the United States and 98,000 in Canada. Trek said it is aware of three incidents where the problem caused riders to be injured, including one that resulted in quadriplegia.

Bikes with front disc brakes and a black or silver quick-release lever on the front wheel hub that opens far enough to contact the disc brake, according to the recall alert. Bikes with front quick-release levers that do not open a full 180 degrees from the closed position are not included in the recall.

Trek at (800) 373-4594 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or online at www.trekbikes.com and click on Safety and Recalls at the bottom of the page for more information.

Dash cam shows that this trucker spotted and avoided a head on collision before you can see the car on the video... check this out


2000 dollar towing bill, and 4 hours to get back on the road and driving. Better by far, than the other possibility... but proof that a dash cam is needed to backup your story when you have to explain to the boss what the hell happened.




was it a drunk driver? sleep deprived? or suicide by semi truck? That has happened a couple times last week.

airbag recall link, have your VIN ready

Check out the sneaky video editting... notice the vehicles in the background at 1:04 and 6:02



at  1:04 the train finishes traveling from the upper right to the lower left of the screen, 2 seconds before the 1st train from the lower right to the upper left of the screen

and at 6:20, the 2nd train from lower right to upper left passes through the crossing, only 2 seconds before the next goes through the intersection from lower left to upper right

to avoid getting hit while biking, you have to be seen and noticed, noticed bikers don't get hit, that's just science


Have you ever been out on your bike at night and felt less than safe? The boys on the Bike Balls team have your back. Call their new product glow nuts, luz de cojones, a PG-13 rear light for your bike

a pair of Bike Balls will set you back $20. Batteries are included, and although we haven’t held the Bike Balls in our own hands, they appear Timex-esque: They take a lickin’ and keep on tickin’.

The LED module is protected by a translucent silicone shell that glows. This is different than naked LEDs that produce a pinpoint of light. According to the company, the shell increases the lit visible area from 18 square millimeters to 1,872 square millimeters or, about 104 times more lit surface.

Or, as the Toronto-based company says, “The design of the housing ensures that the light bobs around on the back of your bike seat. This random movement grabs the attention of people behind and beside you, ensuring that you will be noticed. Noticed bikers don’t get hit as much. That’s science.”

How're your U Joints holding up?


Chris caught some hint that something was wrong, and this was the cause. No zirc fitting on the u joint, and not a hint that it had ever been greased
