Good to see you both didn't get hurt.
I'm a little surprised by 2 things though, the first being how quick he ditched it and second the fact that you didn't manage to at least lift your front wheel over his forks?
Shame about your frame too, did he feel guilty enough to offer to replace it?
I had to switch lines in order to prevent running over his body. I did bunny hop but it was too little, too late. If he would've stayed upright, I could've held my line. He offered to pay but when I got home a checked out the vid, it's clear we were both speeding, and both of us were on the wrong side of the road, so I'm resposible too. The frame is already on it's way to the buider to have the tubes replaced. That's the nice thing about steel. Good to hear from you Lee. Been too long.
Bummer about your frame. The Same thing happened to me a while back but when i collided with the motorcycle we were both upright and hit head on. I flew over the bars and my headset blew up. Then the guy sped off without offering to pay or anything. We had to track him down later. Wish i got it on video.

Wow,... it's rare these days to find "one" let alone "two" guys who accept responsibility. Good for you guys. Things happen. Good vid!
