Watch this guy's bike explode when it slides into an oncoming car.

well, at least he wasn't on it. Although I'm convinced that a certain group of riders should crash and burn and be done with it - thereby making the world a little safer for the rest of us.

Saw that.
Bike would have been fixable until the truck blasted it.
What an idiot.

|

| Friends: This is a good example of a fool riding a motorcycle. Questions: I wonder what caused the front end to rise like that, especially at highway speed? Also, it shows what good safety equipment he was wearing when he immediately stood up apparently unharmed after going down! The truck (suv) driver apparently never saw what was coming at him as he made no attempt to swerve or brake. Also, I was wondering if that bike had a transverse mounted engine and a sudden opening of the throttle resulted in the engine torque causing the front wheel to rise to that extent? I will appreciate all comments. - Euripides |

Uh, it could have something to do with that idiot's right hand and him standing on the pegs.
That is just plain STUPID to do on a public road and the idiot got some of what he deserved. Unfortunately it does look like the SUV sustained some damage to its left front corner. So the rider ruined someone else's day. |
