I think he shoulda' seen that one coming...  Lucky the driver noticed and stopped.
He also probably could have' saved it, if he hadn't laid it down...

On the other hand,... I might have done the same...
... and be kicking myself 'cause I did it...Huh...

Having made a mistake or two in my time, heres what that looked like to me,
He was running hot, having fun, checked the intersection, saw the big truck & Assumed he knew where it woud be when he got there, checked traffic right, now too close to the intersection to change much IF the path he thot he would be taking wasnt clear. It would have been possible, I think, to drive out of that, BUT, only if the initial response isnt to grab both brakes & try to turn. He went down so fast, Im just sure he hit the front brake & leaned. He went down, head forward & right of the front end.

But I just went & watched again,, there was quite a bit more curb to his right before he hit the intersection, Im having a hard time judging speed & at what distance,
How far from that truck was he when he hit the ground?

Anyone care to hazard a guess as to speed?

& I was able to see that truck wasnt gonna stay out of my lane a good while before he started responding.

As he is cruising he must be doing at least 50 mph, but then as he approaches the intersection he accelerates just a bit before grabbing both brakes, he has about a split second of controled braking before losing it and going down 45 feet from the truck.

he coulda saved that. brake, slow down, release brake, swerve to the rear of the vehicle, swerve back into a straight line, stop, then pass out! I think he coulda done that, I would have tried that before laying it down, but if he lost control and laid it down that's different.

the bike almost comes to a stop by itself sliding on the ground just under the truck, yes it hit the wheels of the truck which helped slow it down but I imagine it would have only gone maybe just past the truck sliding like that, can't really tell though, but with rubber and good braking I think he could have got it stopped or really slowed down before reaching the truck

another thing, pass on the left!   <--- nevermind, watched it again, truck was in the left lane in front of the car before the truck made a weird wide turn

what kinda bike was it? seems like it's a sport bike of some kind, probably had decent enough brakes to make a difference there

just my 2 pennies

as an old motocrosser, seems like he should kept it as upright as possible to maximize surface area of his tires, got his butt way back  and grabbed both brakes hard. Maybe its the camera work, but looks like he had plenty of room to stop. I agree with lost, that bike should have good brakes.

I wish him well but  "Dang , what an Idiot! ".

Either that was a stunt driver or a newbee.   One would allways learn to ride a pedal bike and get the stupid stuff behind them befor getting a motorrissed version.

Dang , what an idiot !
