A fire extinguisher might have reduced the damage to this bike.

Excellent thread topic!
OK vid, but I'd offer just three comments.
1) If a cage is cued in the opposing left turn lane, slow while anticipating the cage will turn. Be ready.
2) Never, never stage within an intersection waiting for oncoming traffic to pass! Most juristictions have laws against this.
3) Vid seemed to promote riding in blind spot of adjacent cage to use it for blocking protection. Never ride in any vehicle's blind spot! I speed up when approaching this danger zone in order to reduce my exposure time.

Some explanation (or at least someone's hypothesis)

Sensible rapid Rocket ridding. This looks like a Son of Mad Dog video. A few corners are unexpectedly loooong. Weeeee

Do you know who is ridding the red Rocket in front of the BMW making the video?

hard to take presenter, but good information - I don't agree with all, but learned something AND learning is living

Most likely it's Bill, Idaho Red Rocket.

At about 1:30 he almost goes off the road. This continuous turning stuff requires serious concentration. His lead was fast. IMHO his rear shocks look ok a little saggy. He is touring so his bags are probably loaded. One never sees the back of one's bike running.
