It's great that the driver stopped to help her, but why don't people understand that if a person is involves in a motorcycle accident, you DO NOT force them to stand up. Leave them alone and wait for qualified personnel.

I don't know if you ever look at break.com. But apparently every other car in Russia has a dash cam. It is weird but it catches a ton of good wrecks. Them people are crazy.

I'm fairly
Certain that woman was hammered not asleep. Look at the reaction when she got the truck. Barely a flinch till she hit the road. No one sleeps through that.

That's crazy though.

Wish I had a go pro when a propane truck flipped over in a ditch beside me.

Always wear decent riding gear. How minimal could her injuries really have been?

If she would have hit that truck head on it would have been over. Thank god she had a helmet on!

I just missed a deer last night!

Did a re-jet and took the bike out to test, not a block outside my neighborhood heading down a hill a dear darts out from a wooded area, I smack the brakes hard and start to fishtail, I just missed it, but probably could have reached out and grabbed its tail. The Range Rover on the other side of the street didn't miss it though, it slammed right into the driver’s door, breaking his window. I had just adjusted my brakes two days ago because they were wearing (drums) and was very thankful.

I'm also pretty sure the sound of my bike scared the deer and caused him to run :/

I've always heard stories that if you hit a deer head on (side-on?) at speed on a bike, there's not going to be much left but ground venison. One guy wrote into one of the bike mags and said he hit one at speed (70ish) and split the thing pretty much in half, totaling the front end of the bike in the process. Anyone ever actually hit one hard?

Wow!

Both incredible videos! The fairings on the deer bike did a good job at taking the shock of impact ... which is probably why he was able to keep it upright.
