EDIT: Took the pics down just to be safe.

 

 

 

A truck was traveling down the highway at around 1 o'clock in the morning near Tulsa, Oklahoma.

 

Motorcyclist was traveling at ~120mph and ran into the back of the moving semi-truck.

 

Truck driver said he felt the impact, and it took almost a 1/4 mile for him to pull over.

 

This is what he found...

^^^ since he was only doing 160mph on a regular highway, Sympathy is limited and I think general funny is fine....

 

just stupid to go that fast... And if you do you are accepting the risk of doing what this kid did. I have the same riding jacket as he does, but in red. dont see me doing 160 on the highway on my bike...

I'm not sure this should be in general funny.

 

I got this through an email at work, I thought it was funny until I found out he was dead. :spin:

 

I had to edit my initial post a few times to compensate for the news.

Sports bikes can definitely do 150+ mph easy but is it worth it ?

Not really but some people's priority is different.... I guess

 

At that speed nothing is gonna help a front end collision.

Helmet, gloves, leather, Hell even if you have an air bag on your jacket, it wouldn't still help....

 

Bike riders should carve the twisties!!!

At speed limit!!! Of course!! :rolleyes:

Am I the only one who thinks motorcycles are stupid?

 

YES,

 

motorcycles aren't stupid, people are stupid, when you put stupid person on motorcycle then death quickly ensues.

You could say the same exact thing about cars.

^^^Yes but saftey features keep the stupids alive, at least on bikes they rarely kill others and natural selection can do its part to rid us of the weak gene pool

Devine intervention is about all you can depend on. I disagree about the twisties. Most riders are not experienced enought to even approach the limits of the modern sport bike, myself included. I saw a guy loose his arm after crashing trying to carve up twisties.

Pick your spots carefully, ride your section of road prior to screwing around, make sure some truck didn't drop a half yard of gravel in your favorite corner, etc.
