That shit was scary.. I saw him fishtail and the red lights of the car and then just sparks from his bike on the median. Someone said they saw him go over the car but i didn't. It took all I had to not hit them myself. I stopped right next to the car door. I right behind maybe 200 yards or so.....
He didnt have any gear or cept for a helmet. Shorts / tee shirt. Lots of rash and blood. He was out for the first few min. And then kept trying to take off his helmet. I dont know much about what happened after that. Cops made us move our bikes down the road a bit to let ambulance through and eventually told us to leave.

C4 , thats a different accident... His name was curt and he was riding a green zx10... He met with us at circle k leaving from the lot... He had no gear except his helmet and his gloves... in shorts... My self and Brandon were leading the pack the majority of the way to tampa... Half of our group got stuck at the light before the right turn off of 60 heading to the roundabout....Going through that turn was me , The zx10 and 2 other bikers... There was water in this turn , and he assslid through it luckily not going down... I told him while we waited for everyone else , to turn it down a notch and stop trying to to out do everyone... he was taking the break down lanes all the way across the bridge to stay up front... Right after that , we left the shoulder and started on again , it wasnt a 1/4 mile from where i told him that , that the accident happened... A few of us had already hit the roundabout unaware of what happened behind us..Back tracking , we found out where everyone was and what had happened...He was pretty banged up , I didnt see the accident , Ken had a better glimpse of what happened , but it was unsightly...Im not sure as to his condition but they are checking for internal bleeding...
Message to newer and less experienced riders...Dont let your ego write checks your body cant cash....No one deserves to go through what this man went through tonight.

next time you see them trying to take off a helmet before the emt is there you stop them.
