That's pretty incredible. I wonder how the guy riding it fared.

He is the guy on the bike, he got a bruised knee and a bump on his elbow. Not bad for a guy hitting a tree at around 60mph flying 15 feet through the air and hitting a light pole.

I would say the tree was very forgiving that it only took bite out of the bike.

Wow, I've been riding now for almost ten years, and this is only the second time I've seen a wreck like that...funny that both of them involved a tree, though with the other one, I was actually there when it happened and it involved a guardrail AND a tree.
The rider is lucky that he only suffered such minor injuries...in the other one, the guy had major internal damage, and when he woke up two days later, as far as he knew it, he'd gone to sleep on Wednesday and woke up Saturday in the hospital. Oh, and the crash happened Thursday night. Yeah.

I don't get it. Last time I checked, trees don't move and are rearly planted in the middle of the lane. |

Damn.....I go down at about a buck 20, got fairing damage on the bike only. But broke my ankle, 3 fingers, collarbone, and got some bad rash. He's lucky.

Those trees are sneaky bastards. They hang around for ages making you think they don't move ... and then they pounce! |
