    ouch.

    most of us have accidently crossed the double yellow once or twice. but shit like that scares the fuck out of me. You can see the guy on the gixxer tried to avoid the oncomming traffic when he crossed the line. And the poor guy on the R1 had nowhere to go.

    I wonder if both riders past. the video says fatality.

    That happened a year or so ago. As I recall, the rider with the camera lived... the guy he hit died.

    Dumb move.

    And yes... please post these in the "pics and videos" section.

    IIRC, this was posted somewhere a year or so ago (I think it had sound too). Scary shit.

    I think the tape is holding the camera on his bike.

    Hmmm, I've seen some CSC'ers pull that kind of move before. It's a shame some ones stupidity killed another.
