Man.... A lot went wrong there. 
Hate to be the guy in the corvette.

Again,why i think there should be better and more stringent training for motorcyclist.

Looked at the photos one by one.  Talk about target fixation.  Think it's frame 22 where the guy looks like he lands on his feet.  For a moment.

He ran out of lean angle on the pig.
The guy in the Vette did what he could.

[Barney]

Looks to me like he touched a hard part or something and stood it up as a result.  prob shouldn't have been paying so much attn to the camera and a little more to the road iyam.

I support riders rights, but who honestly thinks it was the cars fault? cuz I have a feeling that some lawyer will try to prove the driver of the car was at fault.

<sarcasm> no, it's the photographer's fault!!!  </sarcasm>

I don't see any argument that could be made to make this the cars fault.

The rider was distracted hamming it up for the camera. Then to me looks like you guys have said ran out of angle scraped some bits, had an oh shit moment. This is one of the best examples of target fixation I've seen. As soon as he sees the car he straightens out and drives right into it. He's really late on the brakes too, not sure it would have helped anyway.

You guys see that the airbag in the vette went off?

Greg Louganis buys a cruiser. The russian judge in the vette gives him low marks.

Thanks I needed that!

Dayum, that's one nasty wreck. Bad day for both of them.

[Jimmy6tring]

That sucks, hate to be either of them.  Is that a tire track that old timer follows all the way into the opposite lane?  I wonder how often this happens at that corner.

too bad photos 1087-1092 are missing. the bike somehow turns around and loses the front wheel.

the flight position in 1093 is impressive.

Note to self: don't wave at photographers in the middle of a turn when you are riding a cruiser with no ground clearance.

Hopefully no one got hurt.

2nd theory is the cruiser had a Duc MotoGP front end and the rider just lost it!

[BastrdHK]

corner entry was.....exactly what you would expect.   It ripped the forks in half....looks violent....bad day indeed!
