[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1232020, member: 277"] I was initially going to question the size and condition of the motorcycle but after seeing the picture, that's out. New, heavy, low center of gravity and in remarkably good condition [I]after[/I] the crash. Now I would question the experience, skills (if any) and attentiveness of the rider. As MCRIDER007 says, being suddenly and unexpectedly passed can make a driver jerk in reaction, especially with a lot of speed differential. I have a whole collection of fond remembrances from passing slow, dawdling, totally vegged drivers and their reaction as I go by. Twice I have gotten heads to snap around so fast and violently that one driver lost sunglasses out the window and another lost their regular glasses out the window as they were flung off the drivers head. I have seen the recently passed suddenly jerk the wheel and cross the center line and others hook wheels off the edge of the road. On one pass I was afraid that after the driver hooked the wheel that they were going to crash. [/QUOTE]
