1st: I hope the rider is ok. Geez...what was he thinking? Makes no sense to me why anyone would do that.

Ouch! I hope that rider is ok. Damn good thing the car driver with the cam was sharp enough to stop before collecting a hood ornament too!

I was going to ask "wtf was that rider thinking?" but then I realized that the whole problem was that he WASN'T

Just "natural selection" culling irresponsible riders . . hopefully not another "drooling vegetable" taxpayer liability.

   he was not passing , just cutting the corner,. a 50 mph. curve at 80 mph.  it will do it too you every time, a wanna be race rider,.  it,s the learning curve,

So long as he is in any kind of condition to absorb the knowledge... That's one learning curve I hope to never find the racing line on!

I beg to differ, he was passing the car with the dash cam when he took a big bite of fender and hood from the uncoming car. Either way he's in the running for the Darwin award.

I too would hope he is OK, but without a helmet and the impact he took, I would be surprised if he did not sustain multiple fractures, let alone survive!  Gives me the willies just watching it!

Looks like they pulled the link. I watched it several times...I thought he had a helmet on correct?

If you click on the link then click on the red "continue", the clip will open, they did this because the clip is graphic, he did have a helmet on.
