Video: Kent motorcyclist explains cursing at mom after crash

(WARNING: Video contains explicit language)

When your mom warns you to “watch out for idiots” it’s smart to pay attention. Because, as one Kent motorcyclist found out, the “idiot” might end up being your mom.

Jake Schoeppach posted a Youtube video of him being rear-ended by his mother while driving his new Harley Davidson. The video comes from a GoPro on Schoeppach’s motorcycle helmet. Schoeppach’s mom bids him farewell in a parking lot and tells him, “Drive safe, watch out for idiots.” The accident occurs about 3:27 in the video.

Some profane language ensues.

Schoeppach told KIRO Radio’s Dori Monson on Tuesday that he and his mom were going to the same place but that he didn’t realize she was following him. Though Schoeppach landed on his feet, he said he was caught off guard, especially since this was his first ever crash. He was also a bit upset that it involved his 2016 Harley that had only 2,800 miles on it. He’s not sure how much damage the accident caused.

“I’m getting blasted all over the place about how I talked to my mom, but have you ever been rear-ended by your mom? How would you react?” Schoeppach said.

“I had so much adrenaline. I was going to lay into whoever it was and then I realized it was my mom so I just dropped a couple f-bombs.”

Dori noted that mom drops a few f-bombs, too.

“That’s who I learned it from,” Schoeppach said. “I love my mom, you know. Everything was fine. What you didn’t see was me calming her down and giving her a hug and telling her I love her.”
