MSN feed - the Ferret - 10-04-2022
Look at the feed that popped up on my google news page

Yikes!

Was the oncoming biker unable to come out of turn? Not sure what caused that.
RE: MSN feed - the Ferret - 10-04-2022
rider going in direction of video crossed centerline ran into a line of bikes coming the other way. This was on the Dragon Sept 24th I believe.
The rally was just there and we rode that road several times.
Same thing almost happened to my brother down there last year when a Harley coming towards us couldn't negotiate the turn and came 2/3 of the way into the lane in front of my brother. He saw it coming, swerved far right, and avoided being hit head on.

Aww man...
This is why I don't do group rides (or cars) like I did in my youth.
Mr green mohawk hat's friend in front of him blew into the other lane and wiped out Mr cut the sleeves off his t-shirt's bike- so he landed on his bare arm and flying other debris.
Both of them should have made better choices. Unfortunately t-shirt guy probably is worse off than whoever blew the yellow and hit him.
Although disturbing- he should be happy it is on video for the assuredly oncoming lawsuit and medical bills.

Must be my eyes...I watched that 5 or 6 times before I finally spotted the rider out in front that caused everything.
Glad your brother was able to avoid an accident!

Had the same situation when I rode up the Dragon. Seems to happen quite often there.

It’s surely an increased risk on any desirable riding/driving road?

For sure. That's the reason why they close some roads here in Germany for the weekend for motorcycles.
