At the 32 second mark the video you'll see he had it, he was center lane at the apex but he just kept going straight. The 2nd rider was just left of center and he just followed the other dude. That's too bad, I hope no one was badly hurt. Pretty shitty of the driver for not pulling over to help.
Just to clarify, totally agree the first wreck is not funny at all. The "beat our asses" is funny. But I wondered why. Didn't look like they did anything wrong. In the second crash it looks like the dude is giving the ol' biker wave in the first pic. That is also too funny. Should have been looking at the turn instead.

I've had dudes come flying through a corner leaned way over coming at me, didn't care for it at all. If your ride has forward controls and bags it's not a sport bike you are not Valentino Rossi ride the ride you have. To people that don't know that much about bikers that group to them looked like an outlaw gang.

Road the dragon and the Carolina Skyline, but never crossed the yellow line. However, I have crossed the yellow line while riding.
