WOW Grady, that's crashing your bike in style!

As a bike rider, I love/hate crash video's (I like to stick my head in the sand)... but this was awesome!

I put a link in the OP.

You're probably are still using the https url.

That blocks embedded videos for some reason.

I wasn't expecting that....
Who was at fault?
(a) The car who changed lanes without looking and without adequate forewarning?
(b) The motorcycle travelling at an excessive speed?
(c) Both (a) and (b)?

I love happy endings...except for the repair costs.

The car changing lanes put blinker on and the car traveling in the left lane was far enough back. The Motorcycle changing lanes without looking, travelling at excessive speed is who is at fault here. Dash Cam is great. I need one.

I'd check whether it is legal to use a dashcam in your country/state first, they are illegal in a lot of countries for some odd reason.

Plenty of dash cams here now. Imagine the bike riders speed in the air was the same as the car that changed lanes and he landed on it lucky man

Yeooouch!! Bike appeared to be traveling at a pretty high speed, the car driver "never knew what hit him", literally.

I got hit by a car while riding my bicycle. I flew over the car, a parked car and landed on my feet in the middle of the sidewalk. Needless to say I was blessed.
