Fatal crash video released by police

Hard to watch but makes you think hard about the road ahead and realize how quick it can happen.
 
Saw the video Hans referred to as well with him mom. It was a video basically saying cars should watch out for bikes. She acknowledged he rode to fast, but didn't think that was the real problem. My take from it anyway. Intersections are inherently dangerous. Cage or bike! If you're flying through them, sooner or later, something bad is going to happen :(
 
I spent 30 years as a career Firefighter, I had to cut a guy out of his motorcycle once with the Hurst tool. He and a friend were doing something similar, over 75 in a 25 on city streets. The car that turned checked mirrors, at speed it was determined he closed the gap too fast for cage driver to see him coming. His passenger pushed the driver into the bars. Driver dead at scene, passenger still screwed up 10 years later. As to the number complaining of 'road rash', many.
 
Its all been said the man was a fool, he had no respect.

I didn't know the poor soul and neither did you, Pedro. His decision to ride as he was on a road like that certainly was foolish. Whether that defines the departed as a disrespectful fool or simply someone that made a very poor set of decisions, remains to be seen.
 
Ya' done good, Oldwarrior, but that was a completely different accident than the one in the OP.
