Yeah, the first one is that fleeting millisecond where all is lost but the rider doesn't know it yet! 
The most amazing one though is the Honda 1100 embedded in the front of the truck
You would think that if you were stationary and got rear ended you would be "punted" up the road, can't see any damage to the front of the bike as though it were sandwiched - just don't know 
Cheers all Simon.

No, Yong...
No, Yong...
None of those pictures are of moi'...
But I can certainly relate to most of the racing pictures, both on and off road. I've had crashes remarkably similar to each and every one of them (except the sidecar ones...)!!!
Hell, there was a time in my dirt racing career than I crashed so much that people thought I was taking track "soil samples"...](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall")
Of course, there are only two kinds of motorcycle racers... Those that have crashed, and those that are going to!
Crashing teaches you a lot, and only if you are exploring the limits can you figure where they are. That said, some of your more vivid memories are always where, as we used to say, "crashed violently, but you just didn't fall down..." These are always fun... Where you did *EVERYTHING* wrong, had everything all out of shape, and should have gone down in a *BIG, BIG* way... but didn't. Often times people would come over and ask you how on Earth you saved it, but needless to say you really had no clue.
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it...
), I don't have any good crash pictures with myself in 'em, but...
I do have one very interesting, very old (1973) Super 8mm movie film of my antics at a local motocross track where I actually "crashed" all the way down a 5th gear, 60 MPH, whooped-out, nasty straightaway... but I just never fell down. Whenever that gets drug out and viewed by me and my old riding buddies the howls of laughter don't die down until the wee hours of the morning...
