The reason I no longer ride a bike.. (Audi NSFW)
Just having a clear up of the hard drives on shop PC, and came across this, from Summer 2012..
It's my Brother's (then new) GSXR 1000 after he hit a car, overtaking on a bend - His fault...
He pretty much cut the bike in two. Was in hosp for 2 weeks, and in plaster for 8.. He then went out and bought another brand new Gixer thou, and a week later managed ( and I don't know how to this day) to write that one off, by hitting one of the large concrete blocks on the approach to the Birkenhead tunnel toll booths.. That one wasn't caught on video, and he was straight back in hospital..

My god Mike, that's destroyed. Looks like it hadn't happened that long before the film was taken, looking at the steam still coming from the car

The footage was taken by a rider that was out with him, he was further down the road with others, and they were waiting for the police/ambulance.

Glad he's ok Mike, but it does sound like it's more than just him.
My brother is similar, he's well in to double figures the number of times he's come off, mainly by himself. That said his bike also handles like sh*te.
I ride a lot, and whilst being taken off this year for the first time in 5 years, it was still a 0mph impact and the guy had just run 2 red lights (one to hit me and apparently the one before as well) on a big roundabout.

That looks serious, I guess he came off before the bike hit.

Oh, he hit it alright, and was thrown over the roof. His mates reckon he came around the bend at 130+ and seeing as the corsa actually cut the bike in two, I reckon the car wasn't doing 30mph either..

Couple of pieces of gaffer tape will have that up on auto trader.
So does your brother still ride a bike then? Twice lucky is pushing it more than enough.
