I've witnessed at least three bike fatalities, and a few other horrible crashes. I think about them every time I get the urge to buy a bike.

a bike owner myself here and racer. shiet like that i hate to hear about riders. most times, i don't even tell people i ride because i get the know it all, you're going to die speech. feel sorry for the guy, but it's times like this that car people get all pissed off. you just got inconvenienced. granted, the bigger picture is "hoping he other guy is OK." but a lot of this shiet happens on hwy 9/84/35/etc. where people get inconvenienced because of rider errors. (yes, i used to frequent those mountains. no, i never inconvenienced anyone). i'm sorry to hear you car got messed up. i would be too. and i'd tell the office honestly what you saw happened.

then again, this rider you said was going at 65mph? it sounded like a stop light or stop sign. did he run the light while the other is making a left? it is hard to make such a stop and see a rider going that fast, let alone riders themselves are hard to see in the first place.

i rode my bike for the first time yesterday to work in like almost 1 year, just to get used to a 1/8 throttle and gp shifting before i hit the track again and race season starts. scared as shiet. i kept the lane sharing at a bare minimum and only, only when everyone else was stopped (both lanes).

The superman description was pretty funny. But on a better note, "yooouuu" could get it fixed, while he is probably gettin asphalt picked outta his ass, which i could speak first hand about, it is not the most pleasant feeling. At least his wheel slid and didn't roll or bounce and somehow crack your window or something.
