Topic: Crashes -warning! Graphically explicit material!!

[racing33]

 Yeah it woke me up also. I plan on showing this thread to my sons to show them what can happen. They will be old enough to drive/ride soon and I want them to see exactly what can happen if you are not being carefull and paying attention. Especially if you are on a motorcycle.

On the dirt, countless wrecks.  On the pavement, countless wrecks.....but they were on a little moped I bought for $20 to get drunk and terrorize on, so those don't count.

Only one real pavement wreck to date.  It was on my first street bike, a CBR600 Hurricane about 8 years ago.  I had just ridden past the main gates of Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, NV.  Slow was the goin' and I see out of the corner of my eye a really clean IROC-Z, so I look.  "Nice IROC," I think, so I turn back to face forward.  Then it hits me, screw the IROC, those were boobies!  I look back to a hot chick with DD's checking me out.  Remember, slow is still the going spead here- about 15-20mph.  I smile inside my helmet, turn back forward and say to myself, "oh, turn."  I was totally non-chalaunt and care free because I was going very slow and I had taken the turn about ten thousand times, but halfway in with no warning I hit a slick spot and my tires were old and it just slid right out from underneath me.  The bike hit a city titty and busted the clutch cover and broke off the right footpeg and mutilated the fairing.

I stood up to greet the chick running up to me with (no joke) her hands in her back pockets and a tank top on.  Bounce Bounce Bounce.  The image is still there when I see a red IROC.

Young chicks dig crotch rockets.

I for one am not offened. Sometimes 'graphic' is the only way to convey the message.

here are much more of these "graphically explicit materials"

www.ride2die.com

It is starts lightly and getting more disturbing to the end of the page culminating with picture already posted.
Movies at the end are also quite good.

to me much more disturbing pictures are of those brain dead and paralyzed ..

after looking through that website I bought life insurance and signed the papers refusing life support.
If they would show these pictures to all people who are getting the driving license, there roads would be safer, IMHO

Here's my close call for the week! I was coming home from the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle day at the Motorcycle Hall Of Fame Museum in OH, I stopped at an overpass to put on my rain jacket and this fool in a blue ford ranger is going at least 80mph in the emergency lane heading straight for me and my bike! I am standing there with my rain jacket half on not believing what I'm seeing, then I remember to GET OUT OF THE WAY! He misses my bike by mere inches and speeds off into the rain. I am so pissed at this point ( and pumped up on adrenaline) that all I can think of is where are the police when you need them, and how I'm going to dispose of the body when I catch him.  I ride another 50miles and I see 5 State Troopers, and guess who they have pulled over! YES.  I almost stopped and told them what he did, but I didn't see it was him till it was to late. I did get some satisfaction seeing him pulled over!

I definitely would have stopped and told them what he did, even turned around on the interstate to tell them.  It could possibly get his license revoked or get him thrown in jail.  Attempted vehicular homicide is a pretty major offense where I'm from.

It's kinda the same this as calling 911 on a drunk driver...  You know they probably won't catch him, but it makes me feel better to know the streets MIGHT be a little safer for me and my family if the cops know about him.
