See the motorcycle?



How about now?








The Honda crotch rocket rider was traveling at approximately
85 mph. The VW driver was talking on a cell phone when she
pulled out from a side street, apparently not seeing the
motorcycle. The riders reaction time was not sufficient
enough to avoid this accident. The car had two passengers
and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them.
The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact
and landed 20 feet from where the collision took place.
All three involved (two in the car and the bike rider) were
killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at
the Motorcycle Fair by the Police and Road Safety
Department. Pass this on to car drivers or soon to be
new drivers, or new motorcycle owners. A picture is
worth a thousand words.

Wake up people , Stop talking on Cell phones and
Texing while trying to drive. Put your Cell phone
in the back seat !!!

Wow.
Gruesome.

of course, if the motorcycle was going a bit slower as well....

I thought the same thing, Pete.

As a 'crotch rocket' rider myself, I think that you need to ride like you are invisible, basically.
Assume people are going to do stupid chit and you won't be taken by surprise.

Wow........................................................

Ever see a guy on a motorcycle using a cell phone with his left hand? That makes you think.

I'm guessing that pics are British and from the mention that the car "pulled out of a side street", the speed limit was more than likely 60mph on lets call them open roads, or 40mph / 30mph in other areas, so the bike was probably doing somewhere between "well" over the speed limit to "stupidly" over it...

I was wondering the same thing about the roads in question.
People in cars, at least here, don't expect a bike to be moving that fast through an intersection, which is reasonable.

My old Kawasaki ZX-10 would do 100 mph in FIRST GEAR and go from 0-60 mph in under 3 seconds- so it is very easy to get yourself in trouble if you don't keep that throttle in check!!

Steering wheel's on the left. Doesn't mean it wasn't being driven in the UK, though.

The motorcycle in question looks like a Honda RC-30 or perhaps NC-30?
Very rare in the United States, I believe.
