Looks like the rider is 100% at fault don't you think?

I wonder if the insurance company has "the internet"?

There are no bad roads. Only bad people.

There are only bad insurance companies.

I know this isn't a bike, but another example of avoidable accidents. Just happened recently.
Could have been a bike in this situation and he would have come out much worse. However if bike or car was going slower...

[YellowDog]

It's annoying when a car does that in our path, but at least this clever guy taught the cager a life lesson

This is really basic survival stuff and being a dick is not a good strategy

[yevjenko]

Riders bike needed a louder exhaust. Then the cager would have known he was there.
Waste of a good bike.

Have you heard the Panigale? It's not exactly quiet with the standard exhaust, never mind if he's got the Termignoni's on. Went out for a ride with my mate on his Panigale. While at the front of the group I could hear him at the back over everybody else

In a car with windows up and radio on you wouldn't hear shit, loud pipes do fuck all

I was quite surprised actually. In a van with a mate, him driving. Windows down, 50kph area. Bike comes past, splitting through vehicles. I only heard the bike when he was probably a few metres off the rear quarter of the van. Both of us ride, we both commented how little we heard the bike. I'm picking it was an RSV or similar.

I drive a truck most days ... and even with the windows down I seldom hear them until (as) they pass me. I need to watch the mirrors ... so I usually see them coming. The headlight is a good early warning for those that look for it.

Bikes with standard exhaust systems I seldom hear at any point .... regardless of windows up/down or radio on/off ...

I see a lot of idiot overtaking by bikers traveling either towards me ... or going in the same direction as me ...

It's amazing how much you can see when your bum is 6 feet off the deck ...

[yevjenko]

I'm not actually surprised, watch his videos, all he does it take those same risks over and over... shame it all caught up with him when he was riding somebody else's expensive toy. No sympathy though, he must have seen his videos before offering it.

It wasn't his bike? Fuck....

I remember the last time I borrowed someones bike.

wait...

.....never fucking happened.

People are fuckheads.

[yevjenko]

I've lent my 4/5 grand Suzuki out to friends, but a 40k Ducati? My mate with the Panigale has offered it to me for a ride, but I refused... I'd be too scared I'd drop it.

That's the second borrowed Panigale I've seen totalled in the US on YouTube

A recent video doing the rounds, I think this is what people talk about when they say "target fixation". He came around the corner and instead of looking through it, he looked at the car and went towards it

That would not seem to be a good illustration of target fixation. He didn't hit the car. He was just going waaaaay too fast for his abiity to take the corner.

I thought that. Over took his mate, fair enough. Overtook the guy they caught up with, yeah, ok. Perhaps gave it a bit too much in to the next corner to show off? Meh. It was not a hard corner and he should have made it. Probably checking his mirrors at the wrong time.

Moral of the story- Anyone who puts a camera on their bike/helmet is a twat.

60/40 to the twats... They're the ones with the youtube channel 'for the hits'. Good example here:


Plenty of strange crashes from these guys in their other vids. Darwin will sort it.
