My exact thought. Although he was probably looking for a safe exit as it looked like he was heading into a ditch.

Probably said "Fox ONE!" as soon as he saw it.

This is why I don't like roadside photogs. People trying to "get the shot".

Got word from the corvette guy through a vette forum that the moto guy just had a messed up arm. Maybe broken, but he could use it with some pain.

Glad to hear it.

The bars probably broke/injured his arm at point of impact. The rest of the fall looked pretty tame.

I just realized while typing this, that he was doing his best Nicky Hayden impression!

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.
