That biker knows how to take the fall, great reaction.. now the lady looks to be much more worried about her car and probably trying to figure out how to blame the biker...

...... the lady looks to be much more worried about her car and probably trying to figure out how to blame the biker...
They probably wouldn't have even SEEN the wheel, but the driver would've seen the biker go down in the mirrors....
Biker is unlikely to have seen the wheel come back at him, altho he may well have seen it come off the little white car skidding along on the verge, and he might have seen it hit the car going the other way....
It's likely the only reliable witness in this particular incident is the dash cam footage!!
But it was a pretty good reaction on the bikers behalf.... AND he got into the middle of the road where most on-coming drivers would see him & dodge out - shame the cars just stopped smack in the middle of the road, I wonder how many tail-enders happened as a result??!
The motorcyclist's guardian angel was certainly watching this unfortunate incident. Having crashed a motorcycle at speed more often than I care to remember, I can assure you this: the rider had absolutely no control over his slide. And when he tried to stand at the end of the video, he was still sliding/rolling and most likely fell again. How do I know? Been there, done that!
