The guy on the scooter asked that his picture be posted up so we could all learn from it. He was turning across the road to meet up with his friends, and didn't roll up far enough to see whether or not it was clear. As soon as he started to cross the road, the motard came around the bend so he locked it up to keep from getting T-boned. Later he said he was contemplating going on down the road to turn around and come back, and wished he had. He was a really nice guy, and the motard rider did a great job of not fixating on the wrecking bike and just took evasive action. I really thought it was going to be a 2-bike incident. Silver Wing rider was a little shook up and had a scratched nose, but he was fine. Also a real powerful image for full-face helmet arguments.
