I was driving in my car with my daughter today, we were on the highway when I saw a bike go by us. My daughter commented on the bike saying that it was a Katana and sure enough it was. It was a blue 600 98+, he was following a car in the passing lane, doing about 70 mph when the traffic slowed down quickly, well this guy wasn't paying attention at all to the traffic ahead because he realized at the last second he was going to rear end the car in front of him, so he got on the front brake way to hard and the front wheel locked up and down he went. 
This was all happening right beside my drivers door, it was so sureal watching the guy and his Katana sliding beside me on the highway. At first my worry was that the guy would get run over by a car while he was sliding along at 50 mph but the traffic behind us slowed down as they saw him fall. I called the police and they sent help. I wasn't able to stop because I was taking the exit just as this all happened, and to do so would have been unsafe. My daughter looked back and saw the guy get up and hobble to the side of the road so I don't think he was hurt that badly but his bike was rashed up pretty good. It's just weird to watch it happen beside you, it was like everything went into slow motion. Anyway just thought I'd share this with you, and maybe use it as a reminder to keep your eyes up on what's happening way ahead of you and not focusing on the road 10 feet in front of your bike. Drive safe.
