Can a car bump the back of a bike and the rider stay on?

    Yes. I've had it happen to me once on a dirt bike (young, dumb and not aware of my surroundings at the time) and once on my 350 Honda in traffic. Both times it just jared me ahead real quick (like instantly) but I held on for the ride and kept it up.
    The guy in the video looked like someone peed in his cornflakes!!!

    I am pretty sure right about when she goes to hug, that I would punch her in the nose. That is a crazy video. Scary.

    Short answer: yes.

    Longer answer: Couple of years back, I was riding my X to work when someone fell asleep at the wheel and drifted into my lane. I hit the horn, he hit his brakes, but he still clipped my rear fender. Broke the RH turn signal stalk and bent the license plate -- the bike shook it off and kept going.

    The driver, on the other hand, swerved across all four lanes and slammed into the center divide.
