Thanks for the info cause'. Yet another good reason not to ride over your head (120mph on city streets is over anyone's head IMO).
RIP

There is a big problem with the speed determined from police reports. They look at skid marks and such. People that ride fast and aren't very good riders almost ALWAYS lock the rear brake and skid into whatever they were trying not to hit. This leaves extremely long skid marks especially on sportbikes since they have very little traction/braking force available on the rear tire suggesting more than actual speed. With where this rider hit the truck, it looks as if he could have just swerved around it, yet another telltale indicator of an inexperienced/untrained rider. Sad.....

I see your point about the skidmarks from a bike but that guy had to hit that truck with some force so that a) the driver actualy felt it and b) for that guys head to push the rear door of the truck in like that and for his head to get stuck in there.

My old boss sent these in an email about a month ago. I had never seen these before. Definately makes you think twice!! Just goes to show, even if you wear the proper gear, you are still vunerable.

you can spend a few nights in the ER with us over the summer and see what we see. There are so many idiots around here who ride in t-shirts and mazi helmets so they dont even make it to the ER. One of the docs Iam friends with took care of a guy who slid on his back and you could see his tailbone and spine.
I get grief from a few of the guys at work but I also know 4 other ER docs who ride and one who comes to the track with me so go figure.

You can either LIVE your life, or hide from it.
Either way, it's YOUR CHOICE.
I like to
