I'm glad the OP posted these pictures. It shows how much riders need to be super careful. It also shows how vehicle drivers should LOOK TWICE. So damn sad.

I'm not sure how anybody could claim the truck driver was at fault if they knew the circumstances. The guy was going 120 MPH on a highway with three lanes on each side. The truck was in the same lane for more than five miles before the motorcyclist ran into the back of him. This was just an idiot going way too fast and made a big mistake.

It happened last April. Here's an article about it.

Unfortunately, I agree. All the nasty road rash pics I've seen cemented the fact that I and any other rider should be wearing proper gear, and that jeans will just disintegrate unless you're going super slow, which you won't be.

The other idiot that died that day didn't wear a helmet.

Yeah, I can't believe there are motorcyclists out there that don't wear helmets. It's just idiotic.

120mph? No helmet?


Let me put my flame suit on too.



Pathetic. I'm glad he didn't kill any innocent people.
