Might want to read up on the definition of murder. Guy on the bike was show boating for the camera and riding above his abilities. When you ride on the public road, you have to account for what everyone else on that road might do, if you want to survive in one piece. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Those of you fellow riders, who think this was all the cars fault, need to consider not riding ever again. Drivers do stupid shit, all of them; be ready for it. If you are only worried about controlling your bike/vehicle, and not anticipating the other guy being in the wrong, you are going to end up like our hero in this video.
You may not like that, but that's reality. We don't live in an ideal world. ETA: The driver looked to be avoiding the people and bikes too close to the side of the road, for fear one might come out of no where. |

I have a lot of family and friends that ride. I don't, myself, because I don't see the value in it versus the risk.
If you ride, whether here or there, then you better be prepared to take a higher amount of risk of death from an accident, period. This would lead most people, at least the ones that don't want to die, to presume they need to be more aware of their surroundings and more prepared to take evasive actions, if needed. The decision of the ones on this thread to want to focus on placing blame on the car driver is really pointless. You know that drivers, both motorcyclists and car drivers, are reckless and dangerous. You know that, if you're the motorcyclist, you're going to be the one paying the price, whether it's your fault or the car driver's fault. Act accordingly and take this as a lesson that you should be aware of your surroundings and follow the rules when on a bike. Everything else really doesn't matter, because you're dead. |

Looks to me like the car was dealing safely with the nearest concern, the crowd on the roadside. Motofag zipped around the corner and was on an unavoidable collision course before the driver ever even saw him.
Sure a cop should probably write the car driver a ticket for crossing over the center line. But the deceased won the prize he was competing for when he decided to play on the road. No criminal charges for the driver. The dead guys friends though deserve a trip to see a judge. |

Your riding party not parking far enough off the shoulder to give drivers a wide berth is very stupid. Driving a car without the ability to properly judge distance and having little to no spatial awareness is very stupid. Like you said: "Several coincidences all converged to kill him." |

Didn't the car brake the law that caused the accident.
Is there a law that says you must cross the equivalent of a double yellow to give room to people who don't need room? Going in the opposite lane, no matter the reason is illegal if I understand it unless it's a passing lane, and if it was it would still be the cars fault. He is supposed to yield to traffic in the other lane. The biker took the corner fast, but he was hardly on the throttle. If he was speeding I don't think it was so reckless that the car is innocent. The biker would have been completely fine had the car not illegally been in his lane. So let's put this in another perspective. You're driving down the highway 10 over the limit. An oncoming car drifts into your lane and fucks your shit up. All of you are saying it is the speeders fault right? Cause if the speeder would have been going slower then he could have reacted in time. This website makes me nauseous some days. |

This one is called Angeles Crest Highway. It's FAST ridden it many many times. It gets busy on the weekends with exotic car clubs, motorcycle clubs & biking clubs so you can gotta watch out while riding. Usually a wreck every few hours on a busy weekend.         |

It still looks like it would have been a bike to the rear quarter panel. Probably survivable. My brother has been in 2 accidents on his motorcycle. The first one, some guy in a truck came flying out of the merge lane and went across 3 lanes in a near diagonal. Hit my brother's bike at the steering neck. My brother tried to swerve to the left as far as he could. On coming traffic prevented going as far as he needed to avoid the truck. The only thing that saved him was his pig of '90 CBR1000 @ 600ish lbs. On a lighter bike he would have been punted. The other was the standard dumb Floridian pulling out right in front of him. He tried to brake but the front washed out. I don't ride, I don't trust myself to not act stupid. That said, on a bike you can get yourself into a steering pigeon hole really quick and end up totally screwed. |

So if the car had stayed in his lane the bike would have still hit it? Uhhh no. Cars fault 100%. Now the bikes speed did keep him from being able to swerve and miss the car in his lane. But the car was in his lane. You are responsible for operating your vehicle in a manner to stop within your sight distance. Assuming there will be no road hazards or other stupid drivers and doing racing tricks is dumb, really dumb. If you do that, then you are partially to blame. ETA::If I am speeding but have the right of way and some guy does a left turn in front of me and I hit him, I am partially to blame. Its really simple. Yes it is. A car was in the wrong lane of travel causing a head on collision. |

With all of his buddies parked and hugging the edge of the road I'm not surprised at all. People tend to drift away from pedestrians milling around on the shoulder. Sad all the way around but avoidable on several levels. Yes and at least ONE of his buddies could have tried to moderate on coming traffic....but instead of doing that they were too fixiated on filming and being slack jawed grab assing dumbassess on the side of the road. Its pretty clear that the car was veering in the other lane so as to avoid hitting the mass of pedestrians congregating on the side of the road. Motorcyclist are like the FSA. Only blame others and accept zero fault themselves. BS, in this case the motorcycle is not at fault for causing the accident. He is at fault for speeding ( if there is a limit on that road). The car was partially in the wrong lane causing the collision. |

same experience here. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I ride motorcycles and I can't defend the motorcyclist. You have to ride responsibly. You can get your kicks without being a hazard to others pretty easily. Car drivers perform a lot of stupid shit and so do motorcyclists. Outside of hanging out with motorcyclists after a ride or just traveling with a well respected buddy, I'd rather have nothing to do with the motorcycle crowd. You have to be really choosy because there are some real dumbasses out there that think that they can ride. If people act all squiddy I refuse to ride with them. same experience here. Same here. I've rode motorcycles since I was 6 yrs old and have had one type or another since then. I ride and I love it. No way am I defending the rider. It's just all the blame the rider and ignore the car in his lane... Well it is ridiculous. |

Car was over the line passing the other BIKERS who were sitting on the edge of the road so they could film their buddy. If the biker hadn't been speeding, he'd still be alive. If the other bikers hadn't been on the side of the road, he'd still be alive. The car could have safely passed the bikes and been back in his lane, had oncoming traffic been traveling at appropriate speeds. Quote HistoryQuoted:

That's some shit. The car was illegally over the line and in his lane. Fuck cagers. Only thing better would be if the caged was talking on the cell whilst applying makeup. Rip Car was over the line passing the other BIKERS who were sitting on the edge of the road so they could film their buddy. If the biker hadn't been speeding, he'd still be alive. If the other bikers hadn't been on the side of the road, he'd still be alive. The car could have safely passed the bikes and been back in his lane, had oncoming traffic been traveling at appropriate speeds. I agree completely, but you left out that there was zero need for the car to be in the oncoming lane of traffic. The bikes were off the roadway. They could have passed safely without crossing into oncoming traffic. |
