Hope the guy who hit the fluids later pulls through. That sucks.

I don't feel bad for the cruiser guy. That was just plain dumb. Hell, the 'Vette probably kept the crash from being worse so he should count himself as lucky and start taking the bus.

Guess that removes the common wisdom of "That dude's older and has hardcases, so he's a real rider"

I heard claims that this photographer waved first? True?

I doubt it... those guys are ALWAYS in the turns and have seen their fair share of wrecks... They are part of that community and know a lot of the riders personally, some of them even ride IIRC. I can't imagine them doing something like that which would endanger people like that...

Sounds like someone with an axe to grind or someone making excuses for their own lack of judgment.

In the original the photographer waved first but then in the re-release they edited it so the rider waved first.
They should have just left it alone

LOL, no, the photog's only wave at friends, not random tourists that have only been riding for three weeks. Yes, this guy had only been riding that motorcycle for 3 weeks and decided to take a trip to one of the most technical roads in the USA.

Others ride so they can fill up there glamor shots album..
