you make a very good point tonyk.
wheres all the claret? if the rider went over the top of the car then maybe no blood from him, but the driver & passengers of the car would need to be mopped up.

seems to me to be a very graphic illustration of what 'can' happen, not what actually did. poss' created in one of those vehicle safety test centres then placed in a public street to give to realism to the picture.

still - makes you not want to attempt those speeds, especially in the snow

There was never a real outcome. It was just decided by (us talking about it previously) that the car was damaged by some other means, and the bike slide inside to provide a story...

But wasn't 155mph
Wasn't a 750
3 people were not in the car.
The "so called" accident did not happen in the snow.

Think it was just used as a "speed kills" scare tatic at a bike show abroad.

If 3 people died, how much money was spent on hiring someone to clean up all the bodies mess, then re-build the car, put the bike back inside (for 155mph, that back end done well to stay intact 100% dont you think, esp if it rolled the car over......), then transport it all to a show.

Sadder than that is being able to tell that it's an alloy wheel not the magnesium ones done in the same 3-spoke design.

Like I said earlier, that's my blue nylon anorak in the corner, I'll take it with me.

But did you notice the boring standard wheels on the car?No slotted mags on there eh?Now that would have made a good talking point.
The car would make a great training mule for the cut and shut brigade though.
