He's dead jim.

Always assume a cage is gonna pull in/out of a side road.

He's dead jim.

after-life jim, but not as we know it

Very nasty. I T-boned a car in the same spot but only at 100kph....

[Northpoint]

Hardcore...

Arrggg trying to watch it but its taken about 9 minutes to buffer 32%... and then it freezes and stops buffering...

Only saw to the point where the camera was hovering around the car and the bike wreck...

Still looks VERY nasty... Other than excessive speed, who was in the fault?

Cage making a left turn from right side of the road as biker approaching at high speed. The cage might have seen the bike but didn't realise the speed he was travelling so thought it was OK to turn into the side road.

I hit an Audi at about a quarter of that speed. Weeeellll... I don't actually know how fast I was going, but I told the cop I couldn't have been going faster'n about 40 km/h, as I'd just come around the corner .
It was good enough for him.
I wasn't dead, Jim, but it was nearly enough to make me chuck in motorcycling for good.
Farkn Audi drivers....

oh ok... so I'm assuming by your post "he's dead jim" your refering to the biker?

dang...always hate the sound of cars swishing past at an accident scene...like life going on around a space where time has stopped.

Its a beige audi too, surely that would have been a factor in the accident

[imdying]

Won't be speeding on public roads again now will he...

Would be more interesting to know if the rider of the yellow GSXR will be. I'm guessing not in a real hurry :/

CRIKEY!

This was a discussion on the cbrworld.net forum a couple years back.

Quote from the camera man:

"I'm the one who filmed this nasty accident. I was returning with 2 of my friends from a local race 350 km away from my town. These guys were returning also, they came just to watch the race. The road is very nice, good quality and twisty. Here is the driver fault, the guy in red leather said that they were speeding and this driver wanted to take left, he first stopped, and they thought that he is gonna wait until they pass, but in the next second he pushed the gas pedal thinking he has time to pass....and this horrible accident happend. The lady is ok now. I don't know about the driver but he is guilty and he must be judged for killing a man.

This guy with Yamaha was riding pretty fast but well...he passed by us in a curve and he put he's knee down...they were pretty good. I can say that on that bike you could find whatever you wanted, steel brake lines, steering damper, full akrapovic exhaust, michelin pilot power tires, quickshfter...everything money could buy, tha bike was new. Also the rider had all equipment, full leathers, gloves, boots, helmet but nothing could save him from the accident. We arrived after 1 or 2 minutes after the accident, we tried to help the guy but it was useless...and then i took my cam and start filming. Everybody was shocked, i haven't seen such a wrecked bike. The front wheel was stucked in the cars wheel, everything was cracked.

Ambulance arrived after 15 or 20 minutes, police same...this is because the main cities were situated at 30 and 40 km away. But i don't know if the guy could be saved.One of my friends is saying there that he saw him shaking and then giving his last breath. He was really shocked about this.

From what i've understood after the accident is that the guy was really bad injured inside his body, many organs destroyed. He was a rich man from one of Romania big cities, he was manager of 3 companies he was 27 year old and motorcycle was just a hobby for weekends. But this hobby killed him. "

I guess there's a price you pay for speeding on public roads whether it was the car's fault or his, who really knows the right story.

Chances of him surviving if he was doing 100 odd k's would have been much higher.

Bridge under the water now, life lost, many lives affected, lesson learned.

RIP fellow biker.

Always a sobering reminder why such speed on the public road is not a bright idea...many of us are guilty of it though...there but for the grace of God...

Doesn't look like excessive speed anywhere is a bright idea if there are objects nearby. Like they say, "It's all fine until you hit something".

That was very sobering and it just proves that the best gear in the world isn't going to save you from an impact like that.
