What a complete and utter prat! Lets hope the two bikers he hit were OK. Overtaking on a solid white line on a bend - he deserved to crash, but not take out anyone with him. Grrrrrrr! Idiots like that on car or bike make my blood boil...... grrr!

Yes, tosser, but maybe a solid white line means something different wherever they are?

The comments on youtube say that this happened in Hungary and both riders died.

Noticed there is a toolbox out by one of the wrecked bikes.
Not wasting any time breaking it for spares perhaps?

As for the crash the bike moved to the left after passing the first oncoming bike.Why did he do that?

I think he clipped the first one, looks to wobble a fair bit, or maybe he just sh@t himself

yeah, reckon he just over-shot it and new he was going to stack it. Tried to take the wide line in the vain hope he'd make it and BLAM.

See how the revs drop and the bike runs ever wider? Tosser s**t it and rolled off.
I don't feel particularly sorry for him, it wasn't a mistake as such, far more someone twisting the throttle without having the ability to really carry off that sort of riding - it wasn't precise or well planned riding even before the collision.

Feel very sorry indeed for the family and friends of the unfortunate that he hit.

I nearly got taken that way myself once, guy coming the other way passed me on my left in a righthander, in my lane. If I'd got the line right myself I'm sure he'd have hit me but by pure luck I was on the wrong line and started the turn further in than I should- if I'd been using the whole road I'd have been exactly where he ended up.

It did look survivable to me, it was a bad one though. It seems like every internet crash video has at least one person stating that the rider or victim died, but this time, who knows, could well be right. And as Sid Squid says, he bricked it, rolled off when he could have made the turn, ran wide- look at the revs drop. ********.

This came up a few months back, at the time someone said one of the riders died and the other seriously injured. Still looks as nasty as it did then!

Terrible, all because he was trying to keep up with his buddy - tried to get past the car before the corner, braked for the bend but the car wasn't dawdling and suddenly he's up **** creek. Then it looks like panic and target fixation to me. Poor sod coming the other way didn't really have a hope in hell did he.

I think this is true. Also, target fixation.

Dont over take on corners kids, and if you do, make sure nothing is coming the other way

One of thr horriblest videos I have seen. That poor guy coming from the other direction who was well over on his own side of the road.

As stated, poor skills and target fixation.

Be careful out there people.

Indeed, the victim was 100% not at fault and had appropriate road positioning ... he could not have predicted that happening in any way ... yet he is dead ... sends shivers doesn’t it …
