Even better was if you knew who the Yamaha dealer was that the commercial was for. Call THEM and let them know about it, they'd probably pull the advertising, which would help make live 105 pay attention.

Your link is broken, but I emailed a complaint to the radio station. All we need out there is for some idiot to heed this guys request.... like it isn't hard enough to stay alive out there.

I think I fixed the link:

Listen for an on-air apology tomorrow.

 

[MegaGlide]

The GM of the Yamaha dealer will be in there at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow getting an on-air retraction from them.

 

[TXCHOP]

email sent........cant believe people are saying that on the air......

 

[MegaGlide]

Of course, I'd still like to see them go to jail or get some unpaid time off for it...

I saw that happen years ago going up to Hampton Beach in NH. Now mind you there are no laws allowing bikes to split lanes but this guy on a Harley decided to do just that. The guy in front of me opened his door to see what the hold up was and crash, bike right into the door. Not high speed so no one was hurt by the crash but the driver of the car proceeded to kick the sh!t out of the biker..

As for the radio hosts they should be fired advocating physical harm on someone is wrong..

I sent my nasty e-mail to the station. I hope they take this serouis. If it happens I also hope someone sues the hell out of the shock jocks.

There were some DJ's at a few radio stations owned by Clear Channel that decided that encouraging motorists to run over/force bicyclists off the road would be fun.

I'm thinking that their show must truly SUCK for them to need to pull this crap to get attention...and ratings...:lurker:

radio

here in Raleigh a few years ago the popular morning drivetime DJ did a whole shpiel how drivers should run bicyclists off the road. After a huge outcry he was suspended for 1 day then apologized when he came back saying it was only a joke.

Actually I am ok with this. I can't stand a$$holes on biycles riding down the middle of the raod. If you can drive the speed limit you should not be n the road. You have no right to slow me up. I wouldn't run them off the raod but they seriously piss me off. Seriously. Arougant pricks.

Whats next speed walkers going down the road?

Greetings, fellow Dubliner!

I hate Live 105. They play the same thing every half hour, it seems. Bay Area radio is in need of an overhaul. Oh yeah, sent my letter, too. We should hook up for a ride sometime.

In quite a few states bicycles are considered vehicles and are not only legal to ride on the road but here they are not allowed to be ridden on sidewalks in some cities. If there is not a bike trail they are going to be ridden on the road. Nice way to respond to a thread about assault against moto riders with a message approving the same action against bicycle riders. ^rolleyez^

At the very least try learning how to spell, it might help your credibility. :stupid:

Actually moron they have every right to be on the road. As someone who rides both kinds of bikes I have been run off the road many times on my bicycle while the a$$holes laugh and hoot and holler. I ride on the shoulder not in the middle of the road, although I'm entitled to by law. Time to grow up, if it's not o.k. for motorcyclist it's the same for bicycles.

Don't they ticket any motor vehicle operators impeding the flow of traffic?

And LOSE THE SPANDEX!!!!!! :ymca:

Getting back to the dickhead DJs, they have a download that has the conversation that started this. http://www.live105.com/music/co-op/default.htm

What reprehensible behavior for a radio broadcaster. I realize it doesn't have anything to do with motorcycles but back in the 90s it was a radio broadcaster that got the Tutses and Hutus (not sure about the spelling) to murder each other. Every day the guy would broadcast that the Hutus should be massacred and the listening public went along with it. Hundreds of thousands were murdered. So never doubt that these kinds of @ssholes can effect the behavior of the public. I agree with others that the station is advocating bodily harm on motorcylists. That is irresponsible and revolting. I would think that the station has left itself open to any number of lawsuits if a lane-splitted gets clobbered by a motorist now.
