I watched it a few times and I don't believe the car moved before he hit it. I could be wrong though.

I saw a kick arse video of a Japanese rider splitting lanes thru rush hour traffic a few months ago on the boxerworks board. Anyone know that link off hand? I'll try to find it, it's fascinating.

You can tell he's lost control of the bike before he hit the car.

Yet another middle age crisis victim, trying to feel younger by doing something he would most probably be lousy at during his youth years also... :lol: :lol:

He had lost control the moment he handed over the money.

Well I ALMOST did the same thing the first day I got my bike. Brought it up the driveway (dirt and sandy in spots) and tried to turn it around. It decided to attack my Xterra and I had to put it down!!

At least I didnt do it on video and didnt actually hit anything except my ego. And not on a bike that cost twice as much as the vehicle I hit!!!

Here's that crazy lane-splitting video. That dude doesn't need coffee to wake up in the morning, just the ride to work is enough.

This superhero doesn't wear a cape!

Remember E-tickets for the scary rides at Disneyland? "Please keep your hands inside the ride at all times."

When I split lanes I am so careful not to be sideswiped...okay, scared, so I mostly do it while cars are stopped. I guess our rider lacks "irrational" fear, so he's in the zen zone?
