Moto head on collision - Randy B - 07-19-2016
Apparently this happened on the Dragon. Be careful out there people.

Oh dear. But what an amazing sequence of photographs.

How can one rider do that to another?
Do so hope that all are well.

Looks like the couple on the BMW crossed the line into the Harley ?

Funny to see what wrong assumptions ppl make by 1 picture.
I'll post the full link here later on if possible, because I got the full gallery on facebook...
Its not a BMW, its a Pan European.
The Harley was on its lane, but it was the Pan European that left its lane and actually rode in the lane of the Harley causing the collision.

Riko, isn't the full gallery is on RandyB's link in the first post?
Chapomis, like Riko, I don't think it was a BMW. It looks a lot like the ST1300 I rode on the Dragon in 2015. I hope it wasn't the same one ridden by some Aussie or Brit who forgot which country he was in.
RE: Moto head on collision - Randy B - 07-19-2016
It's an ST1300 from what I can tell.
RE: Moto head on collision - Django - 07-19-2016
From what I could see, the ST was too fast and couldn't lean more, when the corner tightened. Thus he went straight into the other lane and hit the Harley, which just happened to be there.
This teaches me again, you can be as good as a rider can be, you're never safe and may get hit in an accident without any chance to avoid it, just like the Harley rider in this case.
RE: Moto head on collision - LongRanger_imp - 07-19-2016
Yikes. I'm assuming the ST rider was enamored by the beautiful oncoming Harley, target-fixated on it, and smacked it. You go where you look.
RE: Moto head on collision - the Ferret - 07-19-2016
An amazing tragic sequence of pics. The ST rider was obviously riding above his capabilities and unable to remain in his lane. AN all too frequent occurance on that stip of asphalt unfortunately. That's why I prefer riding the Cherohala and BRP
