This is a helmetcam video from a member of the SV650 forum, from this week. I'm sure we've all had moments when a low sun has dazzled us temporarily, but this is something else.
Amazingly, the rider suffered no broken bones or internal injuries, just shaken up and bruised. Unfortunately, his bike didn't fare so well. He reckons the impact was around 40 - 45mph.

That was a nasty mess. Imagine if he had been wearing shorts and a tank-top.....
