Motorcycle Wreck........ - Procharged5.0 - 02-19-2008
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...
He Supposedly Lived.
Wear your helmet!

I guess he misunderstood when his motorcyle class instructor told him to use his head..........

that had to be one hell of an sudden impact to bend the bottom panel and not bent the one above it.

My guess is that there is noway that guy survived. But sometimes people get lucky.

i would say that if he lived, he would not have been in there long enough for someone to grab the camera and take those shots. Thatxs a corpse right there. I can see it now now.
Hey are you alright? Holy Sh!T wait there! I gotta grab my camera!

That looks painful. *note to self, never ram back of semi at 120mph.
Esentially this guy rammed a garage door at 50 to 60mph (assuming the truck was doing 60 or 70)

that will feel better once it quits hurting...

He must have lived...how else do they know he was going 120mph?
Check his feet, no shoes left, and there's drag marks along the ground...and the ICC bar on the truck is really pushed in. Prolly happened.

I'm gonna say most of the pics I've seen of car/bike accidents. When the shoes are gone it usually is a corpse.

I've seen this on snopes I think.
Real.
Definately died though, they said on impact. He didn't live.

Yea, it was on RCCrawler a few weeks back.

In the hospitals they call motorcycle riders "organ donors", that's why I stopped riding mine in this area (DuPage). Too many distracted drivers in 10,000 lb SUV's rushing to get to Starbucks betweeen soccer games.

I had a pretty good friend die on a motorcycle not too long ago. Guy in a Pick-up had a couple of drinks, hit my buddy, felt something, back up to check and ran over again. no bullshit.
It's almost liek people with cars look to putting fear into bikers to see if they'll wipe out.

I'll second the comment on the 10,000 lb suv's & starbucks, typically with mom's looking into the back seat and feeding the kids mcDonalds while "driving", but 9 of 10 crotchrocket riders I've met or seen on the road have less common sense than a rock.
A few years back on Dundee Rd. in Arlington Heights a guy on a GSXR-1000 (If I remember correctly) went balls out from the stop and t-boned a family in a sedan. Killed the Mother and one daughter. He was thrown about 150-200' (and lost his shoes) but survived. I'd guess he was doing double the 40mph limit easily.
After seeing that act of ultimate stupidity I was willing to kill the stupid bastard myself.
Bike are awesome.....too bad so many riders are brainless.

BTW....I always give bikes space on the road...........unless they are splitting lanes or using the shoulder to pass. I might muscle them out when they do that....again, only because they're being stupid. I do the same to people in cars that do the same.

My old man has been a local CDL teamster driver for like 30 years... Hes quite a character, but hes seen it all... Weather, drunks, he even had a guy commit suicide by crossing the double yellow and hitting him head on at 50 mph. My dad got out of his wrecked truck( front axle and tires were 100ft from the wreck) talked shit to the guy as he took his last few breaths on this planet.
Well one of his stories is just another vote for how stupid and arogant lil crotch rocket bitches are...
He was pulling out of a stop up by gurnee and had to make a left across a dived 4 lane highway he looked both ways and it was clear a 1/4 mile in each direction so he started to pull out. He was about half way across the 1st set of lanes when out of the corner of his eye he saw a bike flyin at him at over 100mph. He punched it to try and clear the lanes but the next thing he was the dude layin the bike down and sliding under the trailer and rolling down the road and a bike flippin end over end. I guess the rear tandem axles barely missed him cuz part of bike was crushed
well the bike rider was just road rashed and reported to the state cops that my pops pulled out infront of him. The cop totally bought his story and was writing 3 tickets for my pops all at once (with a cdl that a death warrent) when a couple passer by's stopped to say that the bike passed them at a very high rate of speed.
The cop started to tear up the tickets and walked to the ambo and started bagering the bike rider for lying to him!!!
GOOD!!!!!!!!
