Default Spot the bike













Slow it down guys , dont want to end up like this

The Honda rider was travelling at such a 'very high speed', his reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident.
Swedish Police estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h (155 mph) before the motorbike hit the slow moving car
side-on at an intersection.
At that speed, they predicted that the rider's reaction time (once the vehicle came into view) wasn't sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes.
The car had two passengers and the motorbike rider was found INSIDE the car with them.
The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 3 metres from where the collision took place.
All three involved (two in car and rider) were killed instantly.
This graphic demonstration was placed at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair by the Swedish Police and Road Safety Department.
The sign above the display also noted that the rider had only recently obtained his license.
At 250 KM/h (155 mph) the operator is travelling at 227 feet per second.
With normal reaction time to SEE-DECIDE-REACT of 1.6 seconds the above operator would have travelled
over 363 feet while making a decision on what actions to take. In this incident the Swedish police indicate that no actions were taken

I've seen that one before. I'll bet the rider of the crotch rocket didn't even have time to curse before he hit that car.

The laws of evolution apply here.The dumb will take care of themselves.Feel bad for the people in the car.Yea the driver might have pulled into the path of the bike but if you see that bike coming down the road do you figure he's runnin' 150+?

The moron on the riice rocket probablly had about enough time to say fu...

No way you can blame the car driver, at that speed the bike was litterally not there one second and there the next.

Did the car have side impact air bags? If not then obviously they should mandate them for all cars to save lives. If it did then they still should.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
