    Like an awful lot of crap drivers, the car wasn't clearly heading for a lane and initially appeared to be heading out to the middle of the road. Rider guessed that was whats happening and aimed under. He guessed wrong.

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

    Gee I wonder why he needed to blur out his speedo.

    It was obvious in the first 7 seconds what was going to happen ..

    The rider has a huge anount of money and no road sense ...

    He shouldn't have been in the situation in the first place*, but I reckon he had escape room on the left of the SUV. (Yes, post #16, the SUV swung wide, but soon enough was on the right).

    (* due to both his riding, and the SUV)

    Is it just me or does he wait to get on brakes at very the last minute? Could have braked much much sooner IMO. Looks like he's speeding too

    Ouch!

    My first thought is that I would have done the same, but then I am thinking from the perspective of we drive on the left and overtake on the right.

    Bad decisions (plural) on the part of the Biker
    Bad lane discipline on the part of the Cager (singular)

    Gotta go 66 -33 in favour of the Cager on this one

    Reading the comments elsewhere about it, it looks like he's had a couple of crashes before and this was a borrowed bike!
    He was going well faster than other traffic and there was so much time to make good decisions.

    Every rider can be held responsible for every crash they're involved in, not least because we are held to a much higher standard of road sense and capability by both the authorities and ourselves. Other people can indulge in massive fuckwittery up to and including vehicular homicide with no consequences, provided the vehicle has 4 or more wheels.

    A motorcyclist doing a standing wheely on an empty piece of country road can be dobbed in by a quad bike-riding helmetless farmer and charged with careless use of a motor vehicle and sustained loss of traction because the front wheel isn't providing any, on the word of a moron who thinks a flat-deck hilux is the height of vehicular technology.

    The guy in the video is just a fuckwit who should stick to punting 911s backwards into hedges. He's not a rider, he's not a motorcyclist, he's not a biker, he's piece of dried giraffe excrement who has been colonised by single-celled organisms excreted from a syphlitic whore's bottom, that has somehow assembled something approching enough sentience to get a license and a paycheck/inheiritance. He didn't make a mistake, he IS a mistake. A cosmically hilarious one.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Have been waiting to see this video for a little while now. This guy is a well known motovlogger on YouTube, one of the more popular ones. He's gaining a reputation of being quite a reckless rider really, he's binned an R6 on camera before also.

    The Panigale wasn't even his actually either. One of his subscribers on YouTube loaned him it because his bike wasn't running/was stolen or something, I forget.

    Yawn. This happens most days in NZ somewhere. And we still find a way to blame the cagers.

    So essentially he gets youtube popularity for being an MTV Jackass on a bike.

    Credit where it's due, officer, I don't think that's been the attitude in this thread.
