Why didn't this go viral? Biker hits Businessman.

A great subset of YouTube videos the "People crashing into stuff" genre. Here's a great example of a missed opportunity for some mega viral-ness.

For most of us, 54,000 views is not bad at all, but for a funny crash with a hilarious exchange, this one should have done better.

The problem comes with the timing. Nothing happens until the 17 second mark. In fact, the crash and hilarious exchange boil down to 10 seconds of funny. I think this one comes down to an editing choice; by trimming this down to a 12 second video, it could have gone a lot farther through the viral world.
