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.

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.
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.
