Does anyone know if the rider lived? My guess is no.

Depends on local laws, that didn't look like it was in the US

Def not in the US, but dayum. You'd think someone would have responded more than just slowly walking towards them and just staring...

He dead. Yes, both are at fault. Traveling faster than the posted speed limit is against the law. Why is that so hard to understand? Not using your blinker and not yielding is against the law.

Looks like a Gixxer.

That dude is for sure dead. I doubt he even had time to go "Oh shit". At the least he went from 60mph to 0 in 3 feet. That car didn't really budge other than some tipping.

My guess is if the motorcycle wasn't hauling ass and doing maybe normal speeding the bike would had to have a get on the brakes somewhat hard, flick driver off, and continue going bitching about cagers. I'd defentily put more fault on the motorcycle. It also looked like a pretty busy area to be hauling ass like that too.

As someone this has happened to... (though I wasn't going anywhere near that fast)..

Ow...

Fuck cars that turn in front of oncoming traffic.
