Ouch indeed... taken out by a squid.
That
Sucks
That made me throw up a little in my mouth! [puke]
From the youtube, by the taken out rider:
"Camera is mounted on my bike when coming downhill. Rider almost took out the bike in front of me but he was able to avoid him and came directly into my path. I am ok for now..."
^ You can see the rider in yellow snap his knee away from the pavement just in time to avoid the front wheel of the down bike.

This is still my biggest fear when riding twisties.
Wow, they guy in front, in yellow, pulls his knee up just in time!
Uh, trackday anyone? From my experience there's less head-on traffic. [cheeky]
Gixxer death by squid. Never good. :P Yep, quick thinking move by the front rider. Could have easily clipped his knee and taken them both out.
:o
That. Is. Redonk.
that guy coming in was so crossed up practically sitting on the top of the bike.
:-\
If you look at the oncoming guy around :56, he doesn't have gloves or even a riding jacket. Just a helmet and a hoodie. There ya go Champ! [thumbsup]
I hope to never inflict that on some one.. deff a lot of track days before I attempt some twisties
[thumbsdown]
glad you live to ride another day though.
It almost seems as if he freaks out by the oncoming riders and bails on the bike....
Scary stuff and in my neck of the woods!
damnnnn that had to hurt
