yeah he was leaning a lil too much for a merge onto the highway.... I know it's fun to get way over but I'll do it in places where if I fall the worst is I go into a ditch instead of traffic...

I'm surprised TLC showed that. It's not blood and guts but still pretty harsh.

One second elapses between when the motorcycle enters the lane and the car hits the rider, not much time to react. You'll notice that the car actually runs him over on the far left shoulder so they swerved to try and miss. Unfortunately they probably would have missed him entirely had they chosen right instead of left. Inertia is a bitch.

End of the day it serves him right for what is obviously a look at how fast I can corner video for the Intr4w3b. One less muppet to worry about.

That's pretty sad. Especially when you realize that he/she had/has a Mom, Dad, maybe a family. Does the family deserve to lose a loved one? Does a single series of negative actions deserve death or serious injury? It is a valuable lesson to other riders but in no way is this what another human deserves.

wow...i agree not a smart place to be doing that. Feel bad for anyone related, those are the ones that usually suffering from something like that.

Everyone that gets on a bike, especially a rocket, should understand what they are getting into. Everytime i swing my leg over, i get reminded of what will happen if i push more than i should.

I personally have never gone down on the street, im very confident that its only a matter of time before i do, but i have gone down many a times on dirt, worst was at about 65mph on a gravel road. **** hurts.

Survival of the less dumb. Maybe if his parents taught him not to be such a dumbass they would still have their son. People have free will but perhaps he should have thought about his family not deserving to lose someone.

Apoc... I'l take your post as mostly sarcasm. I am sure that if you parents were killed ina car crash b/c your mother was yapping on a cell and somebody video taped it you wouldn't sing the same song.

You obviously don't know me.

If any member of my family died doing something stupid I would be pissed at them for not being smarter and more considerate of our family. I tell my family of the things I disapprove of but if they want to endager themselves I can't stop them. It doesn't make them any less stupid for doing so.

Ask anyone on here who knows me if I'm lying.

He's not joking.

And to be honest, if you play with fire long enough you're going to get burned. A lot of people forget, or dont ever realize that a bike isnt a toy or something to expletive around on, because it will kill you if you dont respect it and everything around you while you're on it.

I've been down on the street and it ******* hurts. I'm looking forward to doing some trackdays later in the year to get my fix.

Can't say that for sure until it happens to you. I pray that it doesn't.

I had an uncle die because he cracked a tooth on a piece of hard candy. He didn't go to the dentist and eventually got a staph infection that destroyed a heart valve. At some point along the way the doctors misdiagnosed him and the entire family told him to get a second opinion. He didn't and it slowly cost him his life. As sad as it is/was, I'm pissed at him for being stupid about it.
