Geez the embarrassment alone must have nearly killed him as he is obviously waving to someone he knew.

Pity there'sno pics of the moment of impact. Maybe they were removed due to their graphic nature :-\

Frame 9 and 10 looks like he may be scrapping it might have kicked him upright I am no fan of big tourers like that a sports bike would have went around there no worries.

The unfortunate car is a Corvette and the bike is a Triumph Thunderbird.
All cruisers have clearance issues but need to be ridden appropriately. Watch the road dickhead!

I could well be wrong, but something just doesn't look right about the crash photos........  :-\
And when all other images are so close together why is there a gap around the time of impact?
Interesting how there's a motorcycle skid mark on the road already too.......
Geez, I'm a cynical bastard......  ;D
I might buy a big download, so I can suss it out a bit better.  ;)

He was getting stuck into the corner, The Corvette driver tried to avoid him also, Never mind about embarrassment, in those situations  you are too busy trying to preserve life....

Moral to this story is never give up.
If he had kept trying he would have missed.

Looked very much like he hit the panic button, sat up and fixated on the front of the car, which is exactly where he hit. You do feel for the car driver he did everything to avoid the rider. If it is faked it's a bloody good one  :D

Yep, I looked at it again Mike, Robie Hermans youst to say fight it till the end! That soft cock in the pictures decided to stand it up and hit the brakes. Hope he is OK now!

Absolutely right gentlemen.....my head said Corvette but my fingers typed Camaro...another old bloke moment ;D.

The bloke on the overweight Triumph is still a wanker though ;).

I still think it's dodgey.  ;)
Too much of the debris looks like it's been dropped in afterwards. Particularly the big black bit just in front of the red bag and the red bit to the left of that.
No shadows that I can see of the debris.
In the reflection in the car the rider has his arms way up above his head, but he's got them sticking straight out in front of him.
There's a silver pole or something in the reflection as well that isn't there.
For the rider's sake, I hope I'm right....  :D

Edit: For the whole panel to be torn off, there's doesn't seem to be enough debris, either.

Can't throw a fully loaded tank around no matter where you are.
Top boxes fully loaded hanging out over the back of the bike is the last thing a pregnant tourer needs.
Having done a lot of miles over the years on a FXR harley with other blokes on all types of big roadies it always amazed me that a lot of blokes don't put all their concentration into the task at hand, RIDING THE BIKE, and the result is often just like in the photos.  :o

This is what Keith Code calls a survival reaction. Straighten up and apply brakes. Keith would suggest to keep it cranked over, some applied throttle and let the sparks fly.

Dig the map of the road they call "the dragon" What a great ride that would be.

As for the dickhead on the triumph, he got what he was looking for. A piece of the corvette!
