That looks also looks like Aus, and he calls the car a ute - I wonder how close it was to the pillions head as the car passed within inches of it - her first ride as well...

It's actually a good example (also) of what Target Fixation can do to you too. Notice where his eyes are looking the whole time, notice where his body starts to lean towards... all pointed towards that on coming truck - the bike will follow your eyes and body. He (and his passenger) are lucky individuals!
