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.
