He was on a triumph Bonneville and I was in my 2010 Mustang GT and we were messing around a little nothing crazy never got over 60 on a 45 mph road. We slow down and my brother moves over in front of me and we are about to get to an intersection when some idiot who clearly didn't see my brother cuts right in front of him. My brother was already at the cross walk by the time the guy went. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! My brother stood up and jumped on the breaks.......There just was not enough road. He hit the car at least at 40 MPH. I had to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting the dumba$$! My brother luckily was wearing his gear besides good riding shoes. He flew around 30 feet before bouncing and rolling idk how much further. The handle bars went up his sleeve and cut two tendons on his forearm, tore his ACL, broke some toes and some other stuff (there is a post on here somewhere with pics and all the details). This was the scariest moment in my life and nothing has ever giving more respect and brought me to reality about riding motorcycles than this. He is my brother and my best friend! I watched him crash and almost die without being able to do anything about it. There was nothing a he or anyone could have done to avoid it!

Glad that both my brother and You are alive!

holy shit. is he ok? or was this a while ago?
