And a typical example of why cage drivers should be executed.

Yeah this ones been up before. I think we decided in the end that the rider was at fault as all the car driver was doing was following the road (the centre line's the clue).

[Anonymous]

Yup, you're right.

Also about 20-30 yards before the turn, theres a road sign on the right, in yellow indicating that the road turns to the left.

Biker definately at fault.

Still serves as a good warning to us all about the dangers of failing to read the road.

First clip I believe was the president of the Honda Fireblade Owners club in Holland! I sh*t you not! :?

The second one are a group of actors in Mexico.One of whom was a very big star. That was a terrible incident and there could be no possible excuse or reasons for mitigation in favour of the car driver. :twisted:

[goonrider]

Unreal!!! :shock:

That rear end shunt is proper scary, wonder if anyone bought it?, that is why we have a helmet law over here.

Was sitting at a red light on my way to work the other day, heard a massive skidding noise behind so looked in my mirror to see a Ford Fiesta skiddin toward the back of my bike.

...I nearly followed through!!, the guy in the car just kept apologising, wasn't paying attention so didn't see the Red

[Peter Henry]

There was definitely a fatality in that rear end shunt fiasco.

:cry:




I think to cheer myself up, i'm gonna have SOLO PARA MUJERES embroidered on my pants tomorrow!, :roll:



....hey just looked at the Telly, it's the Mini Cooper Chase seen from the Italian Job, still very cool! :wink:

[madmal]

shocking stuff. that second clip is downright scary.

:roll:

You telling me you have never ever ridden a bike without a helmet? Please... :roll: .

With regards to the tyres , yep mistake but how many people make similar mistakes everyday and blame it on crap tyre etc.

You are being a bit dramatic me think :wink:

Cheers

Rode without a helmet? Jesus no. Its just stupid.

If you're gonna take the effort to put on full leathers etc.. why not throw on a lid.. it makes perfect sense. Afterall, what price do you put on your head.

And as for tyres... never made that mistake either. 8)

[jenni]

usually i'd agree but we don't know where he was going. he might have been pootling it arond the car park...


I often wear full leathers and no helmet when trying to park my bike in the back yard as I have to get through a really narrow gate and have to ride it in. Technically I could lost it and crash into a wall but it wouldn't make me a numpty



......well actually it would, but for riding into a wall, not for not wearing a helmet :?

Seen it before, the dude is the president of the Dutch CBR owners club. What's muppetry in Dutch? I need it for his certificate.

[Peter Henry]

Joe..Get real please! The guy was NOT setting off on a 4 hour bike ride I am sure. Who has not moved their bike on occasion without donning helmet?

Never had problems created by cold tyres? Maybe not,but nor have you to my knowledge ever had the power of a Fireblade at your disposal which had cold tyres.....the meaning of which is...you aint played on anything with the same power. Therefore for once try and not be so judgemental. :?

[Saint Matt]

I have ridden further than he did with no helmet, only to move the bike aorund but I guess I could have come off like that.

Think it is your good self who should try not to be so judgemental Peter.

I have ridden 2002 Fireblade (guy from work had one)

T plate ZZR1100 (mate down the road lent me it when my CBR was in for service - one of the 145bhp models before they were restricted - the one i did my indicated 180mph down the M1 on)

2004 GSXR 1000 Limited edition. (mate from work chopped the blade in for one).

Kwak ZX7-R 1999 model (mate who i used to be in RAF with has one)

To name but a few of the more powerful bikes.

And im not talking about little spins around some closed car park, im talking days out to the coast, knee down riding.

And yes, i have mentioned these facts on the .org before today.

[Peter Henry]

Joe...Oh silly me for forgetting that you have indeed crammed in mileage to circumnavigate the globe a dozen times over, in the blink of an eye that has been your biking career.
Remiss of me also not to contemplate that during that period you would have ridden a complete inventory of the fastest bikes known to man.

Rather than me hinting at being judgemental...I now bow in reverence. :notworthy:

Geez, not to be judgemental, but I'd not lend you my bike with your history! :lol:

Anyhoo, i've moved my bike loads of times without a helmet. Up and down the road in my day to day clothes after a service as well (very quite culdesac). Could happen to anyone, but a little foolish to give the blade that much power from cold.

[localhost]

Can i just say something about this one (http://www.break.com/index/bikecrash55.html) (the one where the car pulls left and hits the biker):

The guy in the car doesn't indicate from what i can see.
And just because there is a road sign saying sharp left turn ahead, doesn't mean you will take it.

I say the car should have indicated.
Even if it is the bikers fault, thats totally *******ious to just make a sharp left without indicating.

[Peter Henry]

Not as easy to call as one might think after initial viewing. Not sure how Police/insurance would view it?

For me the car driver made two errors:

1.Did not signal which I believe is an offence in the U.S.

2.He turned across a continuos double line in the centre of the road.I understand the practicalities of this but just because you would have to drive further to come back on the right side of the road to make your turning off, are you allowed to do that in America?

2.The bike was also at fault for over taking on a stretch of road with continuos lines.(That is not to say that I would never do that,it is purely a cold observation.)

EDIT: THIS POST IS AN ERROR. THE CAR DRIVER WAS NOT AT FAULT AT ALL.

[Tigerrrr.......]

Why would the car driver need to signal left? The road goes left! He's just following the road, not taking a left exit. Check out the yellow line in the middle of the road as someone else has mentioned.

The yellow left sign is like our sharp bend sign.

Biker definitely at fault, in my opinion. If anything, he's trying to cut the car driver up.

[Peter Henry]

Tiger...Indeed very well spotted.You have to look real close but yes the sign was to show that the main road does in fact take a sharp turn left.It is just by coincidence that a branch road goes straight on there.

Total error by both bikers who I don't think knew the road nor realised that the bit they were shooting stright on for...was in fact not the main road!

Bloody hell! :shock:

[localhost]

Hold on, the road keeps going ahead as well.
Does that mean anyone who keeps going straight should signal right?!
No, that doesn't sound right, does it.

I can agree with you lots that it's the bikers fault, but i still think the car should have signaled left.

Another thing: being in the car, you should have checked your rear view mirrors atleast once and noticed you had 2 bikers behind you.
I mean, come on, we do this! we ride on a straight road and we still check our mirrors now and then to see whats behind.

[Peter Henry]

Host..Your playing the hindsight card here fella. The car driver knowing the road,(I suggest) would have no reason to feel that he has to indicate for what for him is simply carrying along the main road? I understand fully what your saying,but it was the bikers that put themselves at risk here,the car driver did nothing to provoke that.

[tricky]

Rode without a helmet? Jesus no. Its just stupid.

the one i did my indicated 180mph down the M1 on

Entirely sensible !

Sorry GYKD couldn't resist that one

Riding without a helmet is a £30 fine, same as a darkened visor :?

Dark visor helps you see in bright conditions.

No helmet means that your friends get to see what brain looks like in pavement pizza.

I have. It aint a pretty sight. Its not exaclty how i want to remember my friend.

And no.. he WAS wearing a helmet, it was a top of the range, brand new Arai. The chin bar part, where your vents are, broke off upon impact, then the helmet popped off and the ashphalt made a great cheese grater for his bare head.

:sick:
