very skilled actually to be aware of the escape route and take it and not target fixate straight into the side of the car or slam on the brakes and lock up and drop the front end.

If he was that "skilled", he would have taken these antics where there would be less danger, ie on a track.
Pity he didn't get hurt, as would have made the roads safer for all for a while at least, maybe a brain transplant could follow, drive on the limit die on the limit, it's just a bet like everything else, but odds are stacked NOT in his favour.

well I aint really suprised this nearly happened, if ya ride like a knob then ya deserve all that happens. the horrid fact is, if that motorist had of had the accident an the biker died then the poor motorist has to live with the fact that he killed someone. it don't only hurt the biker.

he's very lucky but riding like that is just idiotic!!! If he had hit that car at that speed, he would have killed the occupants of the car also!!! Not fair on the innocent people to ride like that with other traffic around!

Its the classic bike thing "ahh some dumb f*cker pulled out in front of me" "i was only doing 120mph"

Bikers are forever banging on about the stupidity of other road users.. if you were aware of this fact you would surely slow down?

Fair play for not hitting the car, most would of! As for people saying he's driving like a cunt, yeah he was, But who in a fast car don't? Honestly?
