I've seen more dangerous at 20mph...

I totally agree with Chris Collins. While he was going fast, he wasn't doing a ghost rider thing of weaving in and out between cars. He wasn't "forcing traffic out of the way". Yes traffic got out of the way, but I very much doubt that if they stayed in his lane that he would been able to do much about it. It's quite nice to see drivers that weren't hogging the outside lane for once.

Not always the bikers fault.

In response to Simon's comment, "Give up biking NOW!".

Some bikers are ticking time bombs of self destruction and as long as they are still alive they will take more and more risks until they get it completely wrong and do Darwin a favor and remove themselves from the gene pool. That's only a minority of bikers though and I think it's unfair to assume that a head on collision was his fault. Most bikers are capable of spotting things like buses and the odd car driver with the classic excuse; "sorry mate, I didn't see you". Statistically, odds are it was the bus that didn't see him...

Perhaps not...

If you look at which wing is damaged, it appears to be the left. Of the two planes in the google image, it is the red one with left wing damage. The other appears to be missing most of it's right wing.
