That is always the problem when riding on Jeep/single track. Bikers don't stay on their side because it's easier and quicker to cut corners. Glad you're ok

Man. Anybody saying this helmet is noisy is absolutely wild. I came from a Simpson outlaw and let me tell you…. It ain’t noisy 😂

Close thing! Its a fallen world Bro, you better look to Christ for protection , whisky and wild wheels wont do it!

Mate well done on no one arking up and doing then right thing checking on everyone. Accidents happen but glad physically everyone is pretty good. Might try and join you on a ride, see what the Pan Am can handle

Is the g button just for dct bikes

I'm in the U.S., but riding on the wrong side when you know other riders are on the road is bad news!

I’ve had 2 mates have head on crashes. Both times they had bad foot injuries. You handled the situation well. Blind corners wrong side of road disaster waiting to happen

Crazy! Glad everyone is ok! My respects to you and everyone else who were able to sort this out without any shouting! Impressive! Ride safe…

Glad you are OK (ish). When I first started riding (40 yrs ago) I had a collision with another bike on the wrong side of a dirt road. My foot right foot was hit between my foot peg and his (6 broken bones and a lovely scar as a memento) so I know the feeling looking at a bike from the wrong perspective!!! What's the story/damage with your bike?

What a diKed! So far right on a blind corner! Fark. That could've ended a lot worst.

Nasty. Glad everyone is okay.

It looks like you were close to getting run over by his mate as well bro. And now I look at it again the way you were somehow thrown to the side maybe could of helped as well by Dissipating/Redirecting the impact.

Hi Brett, what a bad ending to a beautiful ride you were going so well mate! We can't help riders who take risks a tough lesson for every body so very glad you came out of it ok. Lets hope your insurance covers everything . I got taken out years ago in the gembrook forest by a unlicensed unregistered learner on single trail my ktm300 broken front disc and headlight front guard ended up getting the ktm450 to replace it.

"TRAGIC".... give it a spell

Can’t fix stupid

Lived on single track road. The amount of people who have no idea to keep to the left. And drive slow is beyond belief.

Both of you gents are made of steel! Thank goodness you are both ok. kudos for the way you handled it!

How many times have I seen this? Riders afraid to ride the off camber left side of a right bend in the road. It’s a skills deficit unfortunately that routinely kills riders. Both riders were lucky.

Mate that could have been so much worse. Glad you're ok. How was the other rider?

Mate ,you really handle that well..

Please tell me he is paying for everything including the tow....

Glad all are ok, stuff happens real quick and you handled the situation incredibly well. Glad you weren't travelling any faster this could of been a different outcome.

What a dickhead , riding on the wrong side of the road id be so pissed off. Would be getting his details and making him pay that’s for repairs that’s for sure

Dude. Glad it's not worse for you! Hope you're not too sore in the morning. Cheers, and ride on!

My YT has the HD flag on the playback....and I went into the quality settings and selected 720....but the video is absolutely terrible! So pixelated & blurring whenever they're riding along.

An important reminder to all us riders to keep left on blind back roads. Glad everyone is ok. Sorry about the bike. Hope you’re back riding soon.👍

DR650 is the bike not a DRZ. Dam and not being left would of sent me off. You were way more composed to what i would of been.

From days of old we were told by experience riders to ride to what you can see. I have this impression many middle aged riders do not know how to ride well.

Back in the day I once rode with a young motocross wannabe that did full power power slides around allmost every blind corner on the trail. I winced every time he did it. Trail riding I could keep up with him but on a motocross track no way. Because somehow he didn't die and grew up to be World champion mx rider Todd Waters.

There is no way i would have been as gracious to the idiot riding on the WRONG side of the road.... He owes you a new bike...!!!

Why was the rider on the wrong side of the track? I have seen this happen too often. You cannot assume that riders are not coming in the other direction. We (RFS) had a rescue on a track out the back of Seal Rocks. Both riders were doing about 80kph, That was a 160kph impact. Both bikes were destroyed and we took two hours to get the riders to an ambulance. They had facial fractures and a broken leg and shoulder each. Its a quick way for National Parks to ban bikes completely on their tracks.

That was a truly AWESOME video and Adventure right up to the point that fool wrote you off. WHERE WAS HIS APOLOGY??? FFS, really, he not only was riding like a moron (on the right side) but during the second he had to see you coming he managed to slide even more into your lane. Please god he either gives up riding or gets extensive training before getting back on a bike... even then I hope I don't come across him. Sorry to see this Brett, hope all goes well with the replacement.

Jesus. I spent 25 years in the bike trade. People get killed in these. The lack of a tsunami of apologies from ol mate is staggering.

Amazingly handled. The fact the other person wasn’t staying left would have a hot head like me boiling. You don’t get too many second chances from a situation like this. I envy your composed nature.

So glad you're ok Brett and mate your an Aussie champion for checking on your new mate so quickly. Sadly it was one of those things that starts with "IF Only" if only he stayed on the left, if only I took the right track instead of the left, above all you both live to ride again. 👍

I am impressed that you guys didn't have a go at the other rider for being so stupid

My goodness. I’ll say again, that crunch sound was massive. Glad the fleshy parts are okay, the hard parts can be replaced. That was some great riding up to that point though.

Can't really put a "Like" on this video, but I sure appreciate that you came out of it rather undamaged. Looks like your old helicopter skills came in handy here, Brett: You kept your head cool! It all still sucks though. I hope it works out in a speedy way when it comes to insurance and getting all new gear and machine.

Thanks for showing this mate.. Very sorry for your injuries and damage.. I really hope you can get back on the bike soon.. A very good example to others of how this can happen. Can we donate to help you get back on the road?.. Cheers, Dave, Tassie.

It was a DR 650, a fair bit heavier than a DRz. Looked like His buddy rode over your wrist, you're so lucky not to break a bone or tear something. Yep, his fuel tap hanging out asking to be damaged, could have been a disaster. How's your wrist/hand now ? I spent all my adult life on the Central Coast, been in Brissy for the last nine, no ten years. Can ride as safe as you can, but there is always others not doing the smart thing. Cheers

Ouch! Glad to see your both relatively unscathed. How's the bike?

I will point out, 2nd hand riding gear goes real cheap mate... I think you need to be financially responsible & treat yourself to a brand new beast 😉. Glad you're ok.

here we drive on the left thus we ride on the left - do simple things like that not matter to some? apparently so - it isn't just there that it happens, i have nearly been taken out many times by knobheads myself on trails, FFS people just use your f'in heads. FWIW if that was me i would have dealt severely with the fool right there and then, i hope he has adequate insurance to cover his ludicrous riding and disregard.

That truely sucks. For all money if you were going to stack the AT it would be on that forest track. Hope the body is healing well.

Thumbs up because you were able to walk away from something that was avoidable. Thumbs down for road users not staying to the left. If conditions are challenging to stay left then slow the fuck down or turn around. Everyone rides with the intention of returning safely to their loved ones. That collision was tough to watch!!!

Personally, I wouldn't have handled it that calmy considering if I was in the right. Hope he has insurance. I have a new bike, I would not be happy to have it written off, by someone being on the wrong side of the road. Idiotic to be on the wrong side of the road on a bend, and both the riders coming at you were! EDIT: Inexperience on that older riders part, possibly a returning rider or fairly new rider.

Such a shame mate but glad you pulled up well and a great example of a situation well handled and learning experience for all!

Sends a shiver. We’ve all done it I’m sure. A great reminder to stay left at all times!!

Mate, your compassion and composure in that situation was outstanding. Once you worked out you were still in one piece, to go over and so elegantly check on the other guy shows the true gentleman you are. Someone this world could learn a lot from. Glad it's just the bike carrying injuries and look forward to seeing you back out there soon.

So glad your doing okay and hope your neck is alright,hopefully your bike will be up and running soon👍🦘.
