You guys just have to see this.

How fast do you think the driver must have been going for something like that to happen?



Wow



Josh L

nvm i dont want a bike anymore

omg wow thats fucked up

I agree with you 100%. I am one of those people who likes to test the limit of things and I know that if I got a bike, I would want to see how fast I could get it to go as with a car. At least with a car you are enclosed in something. People told me I would never get my 95 Eclipse GST up to 150mph. I went 162mph just to prove them wrong. I would really hate to see what I would do with a bike!



If I ever do get a bike, it will probably be a T-Rex. I drove one of those a few years ago and they are just amazing!

Wow, that donorcycle rider punched a hole through the back of that semi with his face! What a way to go. I'll never buy one of those things.

Wow. The ignorance here is amazing.



There is nothing wrong with motorcycles, or riders.



If you are all afraid you will end up like the guy in the link, then you are all as stupid as him.



I have owned motorcycles for 15yrs (all sportbikes) and to this day have NEVER been in a wreck of any kind. Safe and steady.

You cant say that a bike is safer than a car, can you????



Accidents happen to people everyday doing normal things & stupid things and many times its not the bikers fault but he still has to deal w/ being paralyzed or even worse dead. I am afraid because of dumb teenagers talking on their cell phones & 80+ y/o people driving that cant see 20 feet in front of them and should have had their licenses taken away 15 years ago.



You may have not been in any accidents, you are lucky. I have had 2 friends die because of moron people in cars not knowing how to drive and I was witness to one of them. This event is permanently burned into my mind and that is one of the reasons I dont own a bike. I have no doubt that I can ride a bike as I have driven quite a few. GSXR 1100 was one of them and that is an extremely powerful bike.



I live in Rhode Island which has been voted #1 in worst driving.



If I ever get any type of Motorcycle, it will be the T-Rex..



Also, just found out from another forum that I am on some info on the driver from a friend of his.



his name was Brandon White. the accident happened within 2 weeks of him getting that bike. he had totaled the bike he had before that



the saddest thing about the wreck was the day before, on his myspace his family was saying they were scared for him having the bike, and please get rid of it....his response was don't worry about me, i'm superman. nothing will happen.



This guy had it coming and pretty much sealed his own fate.



Anything ignorant about my post??? Please make sure to let me know.



Josh

I've owned streetbikes since I was 18 and in some cases it was my only transportation. Thank god i was never in any accidents, but accidents are just that, accidental. They would call them intentionals if they weren't.



I wore full gear in all weather and I prolly drove safely 85% of the time https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif After moving to Florida and seeing a cycle fatality EVERYDAY I decided I didn't have enough faith in the florida fuckstick idiotass drivers and sold my bike. I do miss it on some occasions, but as I age or as anyone ages your reflexes change and you'll prolly never notice it as it's too gradual, I didn't want to find out the hard way.



Not to mention I have found other things I find far more exciting and theraputic.



Yes you can die doing anything and as with any of those activities you have to asses the risk to enjoyment ratio and decide if it's worth it. there was a time in my life it was, now it's not.



BTW, the guy wrecked my bike within 2 weeks of buying it, broke my heart.

Yes Josh. Whats wrong is that people say they will never own a motorcycle because they are retarded and would do the same thing, implying that they would ride in the same retarded manner.



Peace

hey where are the guys shoes in the pic?? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

He was dragged for a 1/4 mile, they probably fell off.

Holy ****....



This is why I drive my bike at the speed limit...

that just scares me to know that things like this happen...why do people throw away a gift as prescious as life?

Hmmm, surprised the family has not found out about that page yet.



But yeah, that is pretty crazy. And to be honest, it's the cyclist's fault 100%, he dug his own grave.

Phins,

I agree with everything else you say, so being the cranky old bird that I am, I will take issue with the one thing I disagree with. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif



There are some accidents which are truly accidental, but many (if not most) can be directly attributed to an act of blatant stupidity or extreme negligence.



Is it accidental if a tailgater slams into the back of the car he was tailgating when the first car slams on brakes in reaction to some event ahead of him?



Is it accidental if someone pulls out onto a main road from a side street without checking for oncoming traffic and is struck broadside by another vehicle?



Is it accidental when a drunk gets behind the wheel, speeds, crosses a double yellow and kills the driver of an oncoming car?





I would say that the "accident" that results from these and many other common scenarios are not "accidental" but rather very predictable outcomes of stupid and negligent behavior.

After I post this, I lost my best friend to a motorcycle accident on 5-6-07



I will NEVER get a bike.



Josh

my brother was in two bike wrecks in a couple months.. both times stupid girls pulled out in front of him with out looking.. once was @ abou 40 mph and he did a flip over the hood and lost his helmet and shoes .. he landed feet first and face planted.. his helment flew off cause he put it on quick for a short ride and didnt latch it properly.. but he faired rather well.. about a month later he got a new bike and same thing happened but at about 30.. and he bounced off the side of the car..



point is.. **** happens.. you have to really watch other drivers cause there are a bunch of idiots out there who drive like crap..

I just have to say.

RESPECT THE BIKE and know your limits.

This is the part that I find amazing: "He said that the impact was so strong that he thought he was hit from behind by another truck."



I didn't realize that a bike going even as fast as he was could generate so much force! I want a bike someday, but I will respect it! WOW!

damn thats pretty bad!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.gif

I have owned quite a few bikes (mainly dirtbikes). Recently I sold my bike because just like Phinsup said there are crazy people out there. I will enjoy 2 wheels on the dirt for a while.

damn... that is nuts.. I learned the hard way a couple of times that i have to respect the bike.. both off road and on road. maybe I will still get a ducati like I always wanted but like many said, accidents happen..and we are gettin older.. Yeah the guy probably should not have been speeding.. but perhaps it was his time.. i drive all over the country and see tons of riders.. but in the city is where you see them gettin into trouble all the time.. its nuts.. out on the open road bikes seems less of a hazard.. I guess depending on where you live and you personal experiences you may have a different opinion.. regardless that is a impressive amount of force he put into the back of that truck..

I rode a fair amount. Learned on a Yamaha 600RR then road a CBR 600RR for a few years. Sold my bike to afford goodies for the FD. Bikes are not "unsafe" its the idiot riding one that thinks WOT from every stop sign is ok. The other drivers also. Look at Europe, a huge majority of their drivers are on motorcycles or scooters. Most European drivers look for that bike hidden in their blind spot while American drivers just kinda switch lanes and hope someone isnt there.

WTF double post.
