Inches Away from Head-On Collision at 300 KMH

It's happening in Germany, but this is not on the speed limit-free highways. A group of three motorcyclists riding superbike-class machinery are enjoying a high-speed ride on a public road, reaching speeds close to 200 km/h (124 mph), but seemingly keeping well in their lane.. as far as "safe" can go in such circumstances.
However, the guys slow down a bit as they approach a turn and also have a truck in front. Apparently unaware of the fact that the two guys in the front are slowing down, a third rider aboard a Suzuki GSX approaches from behind at a great speed and passes them.

The camera rider says they were doing around 170 km/h (105 mph) and the guy approaching from behind was most likely doing around 300 km/h (186 mph) by the moment he realized what was happening and braked in time to squeeze between the front bike and an incoming car in the opposite lane.

Needless to say that this could have been a final scene from Peter Jackson's Braindead, with blood and bike parts all over the place. The camera guy seems pretty calm in his video comment, adding that he knows that one day things will go wrong and they'll hopefully be remembered by the organs they donated.

Sorry to say this dude, but if the Gixxer went head-on into that car, I really doubt the doctors could have harvested his corneas, let alone other bigger body parts...
