That was a guy from www.gixxer.com he was riding on roads he did not know, the guy in front on the busa was a friend. he is on a 04 gsxr600, overall not to much damage from hitting a car at 55mph he was able to ride it home.

It was not the suv fault, the road turned and did not have to indicate, the guy saw his friend past, and though he could as well, by looking down the road, it looks like it goes straight but does not. He missed the road sign on the right hand side of road. It could happen to most of us, espically on unfimlar roads.

So lesson to one and all, if riding on roads you do not know, make sure you can see plenty of road enough to past, and look for road signs saying who might be ahead.

Did anyone else notice that the road in this clip actually turns to the left. Check out the yellow centre lines they turn to the left too.

I think the motorcyclist was very much so in the wrong here.....
