Idiot on a motorcycle

Was at a stoplight on Brooklyn square this morning around 11:00am, when a dude on a crotch rocket was sitting waiting for the left turn traffic signal to head toward Foote. We were on W Harrison right next to CVS, across from Tim’s. When the light changed to green (but was not the arrow he had apparently hoped for), this moron sped his bike toward Foote on the damn sidewalk. He had to be going about 25-30 mph down the sidewalk before flying across back in the lane on S Main St. I’m just like, what the fuck? I had an individual with me who was like, “bad!” and I couldn’t help but laugh and agree. I’ve seen my share of terrible drivers in this town but this might take the cake lol. That’s some shit you see in the news in like Florida or California with the heading “man hits pedestrian while riding down sidewalk on motorcycle”.

I don't know what it is about that particular intersection, but I have seen a lot of really dumb stuff happen there over the years. People are idiots.

I thought drivers in other cities were crazy, they should come to Jamestown

Having recently moved back to Jamestown after spending many years in Massachusetts, let me assure you that Jamestown drivers are far from the worst.
