Friend sent this me saying be careful.
Seems the rider escaped serious injury.

What the AF?

All the really crazy stuff seems to happen down here. It's a mad house for sure.

Man that dude really hates Hondas.

Wow. Bananas. That's my commute home, or, at least, was. Not at that time of day, though.

Thanks John for the update!

Glad they got the dude :thumbup

Article says the rider thinks it was intentional. :loco

Honda CBR captured by Mini Van sparks fly...

Rider is OK...

Check your 6... always anticipate the moves of cagers behind us... their moves
may cause an emergency but its up to the rider to avoid the accident...

Glad to hear the rider was otherwise unharmed.
He's got an excellent first name for a motorcyclist. :laughing

That size Givi top box looks out of place on a sportbike

 

[budman]

Made me go back and look... :laughing

That is a pretty good first name.

Was wondering if it was a case of lanesplitter smashing mirrors and driver getting revenge but both van mirrors look intact.

This news is proof that miracles do happen.

I hope this never happens to any rider.

So what’s the smart move to make if you were the rider in this kind of situation ?

Jump off to the side?

Stay on the motorcycle?

Was he wearing armor? Would armor help?

This guy is very lucky to not get seriously injured.

Article said he was going 65 when rear-ended by minivan going 70mph. With full-gear, getting tossed onto road at 65mph is easily survivable. What's major unknown is how you'll survive the following traffic. Cars following you & minivan is unknown. Get hit by car @70mph while you're on ground or trying to get up is pretty much fatal.

 

[Johndicezx9]

Which lane were they in?

Seems odd that the rider said he felt the driver of the van "hunted him down". Even crazy people don't do that out of the blue. There is certainly more to the story like perhaps the rider antagonized him or road raged him to invoke. Will be interesting to see the outcome on this one.

I use to moto commute the 91 daily as a youth and it is rough. Specifically there is a Bermuda Triangle of sorts in the spot right between Corona and Green River Road by the 71 interchange. I was almost been killed a couple times (miraculous saves) and witnessed countless insane accidents there going both directions. I don't know what it is about this spot but please exhibit extra caution if you ever have to go through there.

EDIT: uploaded pic of left ring finger as a constant reminder of the 91 freeway. That tip of my finger got snapped by my clutch lever all the way back to the bar when a guy in a 240z wheeled me! :wow. Very serious when I say please be careful out there.
