Motorcycle safety is something to consider.
This is amazing... not gory, and better this poor misguided idiot should die than some innocent driver.
Motorcyclist Killed After High-Speed Crash Overnight Tuesday April 17, 2007 11:07am Posted By: Kevin King Tulsa - A Broken Arrow man was killed early Tuesday morning after a motorcycle accident on Highway 169 near 81st Street . Witnesses say the cyclist was going faster than 100 miles per hour when he crashed into the back of a semi truck between 81st and 91st Street at about one o'clock Tuesday morning. Investigators say evidence shows the cyclist was going about 120 miles per hour at the time of the impact. It took the truck driver more than a quarter of a mile to come to a stop. When he did, he stepped out of his rig and found the motorcyclist dead at the back of the truck. "The truck driver was not hurt," says Captain Matt Kirkland. "He said that the impact was so strong that he thought he was hit from behind by another truck." Officers said there was no indication that drugs or alcohol played a factor in the accident.

That had to hurt! Well, at least for a split second.
I've ridden a bike for more than 30 years (not often these days); sometimes a rider can't avoid a collision because of others; other times, they are their own worst enemy.

If you run from 5.0 then you deserve what you get! When will these MORONS learn that they put everyone in danger and risk when they run from the cops over a suspendid license, a $1000 warrant, or some other stupid ass thing THEY did to screw up there lives.
If you have a death wish....there are plenty of spots in the desert that you can make your worthless ass get lost in, without involving the rest of us!
And thats my Rant for the day!

Well, at least it looks like a fairly easy "clean up". He didn't leave body parts strewn on the road. Dumb azz! I learned fast, 40 years ago, when I first started riding, that your right hand needs to be connected to your brain.

Motorcycle wrecks happen every day and a lot of them are avoidable (see above).
I had one several years ago where I hit the back of another bike that slowed going into a mild sweeper that didn't require the brakes. :o
My wreck was avoidable because I knew better than to put myself into that position >:(
I got lucky and walked away with only minor scrapes but the guy I hit was knocked out and had to be taken to the hospital for evaluation (lucky for him, because I probably would have knocked him out for slowing down).
I try to warn any rider that will listen, that if you're riding with someone new or a group of people be extra aware of how they ride because you don't know which one will do something stupid!
I hate seeing/hearing about wrecks due to someone being stupid on the street because it makes non-riders look down on anyone that rides even if they obey the laws and try to be careful.
Ride Safe,

??? Wow, my toe nail pic and my air nail through the thumbnail pic were waaaayyy more gross than these pics. ???

it sounds wrong, but at least he was wearing a helmet and protective clothing, although it did not help him, i see to many punks out showing off on the streets in shorts, teeshirts and no helmets, idiots, i ride a harley and won't even get on it without a helmet, they don't always save your life, but they sure do help, a buddy and i were driving down the freeway about 2mo ago and 4 guys on crotch rockets flew past us (we were doing 80) on the freeway weaving in and out of traffic, about 4 miles up the road we past them, one bike was destroyed laying in a ditch the rider sprawled out on the pavement, not sure what happened, but he f****d up thats for sure

I lost a best friend from a motorcycle accident....But I have ta' call bullshit on this set off pics...That body is WAY to intact to have been flung against the back of a trailer at that speed...And the helmet is in perfect shape and the strap is still on his neck with out cuttin' his head off...
-
true story and pics! i verified myself cause I thought the same. You can google it and find actual news reports. Also you can check snopes.com it is a sight that confirms or dispells email hoaxes etc.

true story and pics!
???? dont know....my friend that works @ "vance and hines" just sent me that e-mail, just though i would share.......
-
i don't know, you can see the blood trailing away from the semi in the far pics, and if it was straight head first shot, the neck would have crushed, can't see the helmet inside the trailer, and bike going 120 and truck going probably 65-70 (1/4 mile to slow down) still at least a 50 mph impact, but damage would be less ??? just my .02
-
Thanks for sharing Chromey...If the truck was moving 60 I guess it could happened and it looks real as hell...There is just so much doctored shit on the net anymore....Thats why I quit riding bikes...I'm guessing if he were in my duramax he'd of had a better chance of still breathin'... ;D
-
That's why I sold mine.......... I miss hittin the twisties, but I'll never miss ridin in traffic!!

Up the road a bit in Bakersfield a drunk driver just recently pulled out in front of a motorcyclist. Excuse me if I get the story wrong... The motorcyclist went partially through the drivers rear window and was stuck there. The driver proceeded to drive around town until he eventually pulled into either a police station or hospital? This is where the motorcyclist died. In the back of a drunk drivers car either in a police departments parking lot or a hospital parking lot. I'll look it up to get the full story.
