That video is some RAW footage. Kinda looked like a Trooper bike. I wonder why they were all just standing around like that?

There are two types of motorcycle riders - Those who have been down and those who are going down.

Hope the officer is okay. Had three of them myself.

Kinda looks like the guy hit his brakes hard and the bike hit him.
