Kawasaki and BMW now making the closest shave you can get

[onearmedbandit]

And there was a pillion involved. Passing on a corner was never wise, especially with a 2.5 tonne 4x4 coming at ya!

[hayd3n]

wow

[Ender EnZed]

That guy's idea of passing relies way too much on the other drivers' ability to avoid hazards.

[Glowerss]

Great example of why you dont A) overtake near the center line or (while not shown in the video) poke your head over the center line going around a corner. If he had been leaning over he would have lost his bloody head.

Shit riding and I think the BMW hit him because he saw the bike there, assumed he was going wide and tried to give him room.

Next time he wants to kill someone, leave the helpless pillion out of it...

[skippa1]

that will learn him

I think the BMW was off line well before he saw the fuckhead on the bike. Both fucking retards.

[Old Steve]

Yeah, the BMW was definitely over the centre line as it came around the corner, both complete F-wits. I think the rider may have hit the Bimmer's wing mirror or maybe scrapped the bodywork with his elbow or shoulder pad, bloody lucky to have got away with it though. That was a real sphincter testing moment!

He was cutting the corner prior, but when he/she had line of sight of the bike, cut further in... unless of course that driver REALLY hates bikes

It is possible that he being tucked in nice and close, that there was not enough headlight on the motorcycle for it to be recognised, but yeah the BMW should not have been there - not really something that he has any control over.

The bigger danger with this, is filtering motorcyclists coming from the other direction. You won't see them until the very last second, there WILL be nowhere to go, and any large evasive manoeuvre will simply push wheels out further into the line of the opposing bike and not achieve much else except more carnage, and then there's the opposing lanes of two-tonne steel rhinocerouses to trample both of you to death. Nasty.

If his head was over the center line, he would have also been turning left, which is an even worse decision than blind passing when on a right hand corner

[caspernz]

Two clowns...one near miss...

I wondered the same thing. Stupid place for the bike to pass though.

Oh yeah, at least he was ATGATT. Like it would have helped in a headon

[Muppet]

Christ almighty that made me jump!

[george formby]

Looks like the Beemer Kinder Wagen had pulled out early approaching a passing lane, the white vehicle just ahead pulls to the right as the BmW approaches.

A salutary lesson, somebody else may be jumping the gun too.

Hmm, my bad, the BMW spears across the centre line, the whole off side is two lanes. Meh, maybe the white car did not get out the way quick enough or the bimmer driver got Kawasaki fixation. Either way, don't let your balls dangle in the breeze.
