Idiots on the road...

So on Saturday I'm driving down I-30, going a comfortable 65 miles an hour.
Several motorcycles were entering the freeway. One, in the lane next to me, decided to show off and accelerated rapidly popping a wheelie. He was about 15 feet in front of me, and I saw him pull up his front wheel and go higher, and higher, and then over backwards. His bike bounced into my lane, but I was able to avoid most of it-a few parts bounced off of the side of my Xterra. . The biker himself stayed in his lane and rolled to a stop.
I jumped out of the truck, calling 911, and then I see the biker standing up. One lucky guy to have turfed while going 70 miles an hour...and walk away from it. I'm fine with a little playing while you are behind the wheel, but not when you can cause other people to wreck along with you. I would've felt bad, had the guy bounced under my truck and killing him.
