wow... that's horrible...it's unfortunate that he made a very risky decision and paid the price for it.
I hope though, that this helps remind people to not get to antsy behind cars... so what if your run through a gorgeous stretch of road was spoiled... turn around and run it again... or try again another time... RIP...

And they saw it happen ... I don't even want to contemplate it.
"He decided to come from the very back of the pack, pass the group and the then the few other cars in front of me. He didn't see the Audi slow to start the turn until it was too late. He was on the oppisite lane passing when he collided with her. It looked like he hit the brakes a hundred yards before inpact but it didn't help much, as you can imagine, the impact was incredibly horrible and violent. The audi seemed to jump 3 feet in the air from the rear."

This guy pulled an insanely stupid move. Passing the entire group and 5 or 6 cars. Holy shit.

I heard about it from a guy on the ZX10 forum, apparently one in the group. Bottom line is when passing, cars, bikes, whatever you take a chance on the vahicle in front doing something unexpexted...When you pass multiples the odds go up exponentially as those way in front have no idea what is taking place behind and you cannot know their intentions until you reach visual, which usually takes place at elevated speeds (you all know how fast a bike will accelerate in just a few car lengths).
Just be patient and pass one at a time!

What a sad thing. Regardless of how foolish he may have been, we've lost a fellow rider. Passing cars terrify me for this very reason...RIP rider.
