Usman Rashid crashed into Hubert Hardie near the village of Tarbet, Argyll and Bute. Hardie spent more than a month in hospital in Scotland with a broken spine, also requiring emergency surgery to his right leg.
A Glasgow biker left a French tourist unable to walk properly after causing a major motorbike crash when he sped round a blind bend near Loch Lomond.
Prosecutor David McDonald told Dumbarton Sheriff Court: "A driver observed Mr Rashid overtaking him just as Mr Rashid approached a sign for a sharp right bend. Thereafter, Mr Rashid was seen overtaking the vehicle in front. He observed Mr Rashid filtering through traffic and overtaking their vehicle.
"He continued to overtake the final vehicle before the blind bend by driving in the middle of the opposing carriageway. Mr Hardie was riding his motorcycle in the opposing carriageway at this bend. As a result, Mr Rashid collided with Mr Hardie resulting in both Mr Rashid and Mr Hardie being thrown from their respective motorcycles and causing severe injury to Mr Hardie’s right leg and spine.
