Head on smash

Here's an American video of two bikes having a head on, it starts off saying it's Graphic but I wouldn't really say it is - that is there's no blood or gore or anything, in fact both riders are very lucky and get up almost as soon as they hit the ground. The nice man filming seems to keep on driving without stopping to assist

Stupid overtaking manouvre on the car results in having to duck in to avoid first oncoming bike, which results in apexing too early... sees other oncoming bike and targed fixes... BAM!

Verily lucky!

Watch his rear tyre, he has a bit of a slide and a wobble before running wide too

If you look at it they seem to hit each other pretty much on the centre line! so who was in the wrong? both riders is probably the answer?

Exactly what I thought Berky....

First thing that came into my head was why didnt The F###er stop!!!!

the last couple of minutes is just a re-wind in slo-mo........he probably did stop, and didn't film it......

The whole thing looks strange......both bikes are *way* to close the centreline ie. right on top of it, and the speed must have been slow as well, for both of them to basically just fall off, and bounce straight back up again ?? weird......

I have had two bike on bike head on collissions both caused from the other rider getting object fixation. The 2nd one was just a broken bone in the hand and a rib, but the 1st one was 14 broken bones and a couple of operations!!!

I really wish they would teach people to ride before they let them loose on the general public!

I think this also goes for drivers, just look at that "Learners Show" seriously some people just should not go there
