Call me harsh, but I have little sympathy for him.

He was at fault, no two ways about it. I believe first and foremost our safety as riders is primarily, if not totally, in our hands. Or hand as the case may be. But I dare say there wouldn't be too many of us who have been riding since our teens or twenties haven't done something similar and been lucky enough that the driver considering a u-turn whatever did see us.
Never done near 100kmh on a 50kmh trying to pop a wheelie.... No
When I was 17 I bought an S15 turbo modded to 240 rwhp, and never did anything stupid in that (Because I have what I consider to be basic levels of self control over my hands and feet). I sold it two years later to a guy in Wellington who smashed it into a tree within the week trying to show off to his girlfriend (He was ok). He actually sent me photos of the car asking if I wanted to buy it back for parts.... I Still have those photos to this day....
It's about respect. Respect what these high power machines are cable of
Been riding since 23, almost 27 now, and 2 years of that on a 2009 Fireblade.
I don't ride like an idiot, I ride to survive, to be safe, and to come back in one piece.
This fellow did not.
Respect for yourself first and foremost, if you have that nailed you've got the rest covered.
I would never crash my bike like that
Successfully pull off a mile long wheelie, THEN crash..
sorry to hear another bad crash / looks to have happened at an intersection with 2 bikes https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/95261024/motorcycle-crash-closes-part-of-state-highway-1-north-of-auckland
take it easy out there guys
Your mum must be very proud of you.......
No point being to smug about it though.
Most of us however have done loads of stupid shit when we were young/younger ( or even a bit older).....
And were just plain lucky to not pay the ultimate price.
Being dumb, young and full of cum doesn't mean one deserves the death penalty......
Life is not only about being safe,
I will save that for when and if I get older.
If you never have done anything silly, stupid and dangerous that must surely mean that you must have been born old......
Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....
