So why'd it take him a quarter mile to stop?

Other than that ... ouch. Looks like he just completely didn't see it.

Am I the only who finds posting the photos of the demised just slightly a bit tasteless?

probably.....it's not really tasteless, sometime it takes these kind of photos to educate people. Some riders think they are bulletproof, they need to see this kind of shit to wake them up a wee bit.

60 tonne, 75mph, impact, realise something wrong, brakes on, easily 400m to stop

Agreed, they should have been censored at least.

I recall seeing the file photos from the fatal biker crash on Peak Rd a while back. Just horrific.

Have to agree with ya dyers... It's like those fuckin "rubber neckers" on the motorway that slow down to have a jacksie at an accident across the barrier in the other direction... next thing ya know there's mayhem behind them as ppl start piling on the brakes... ppl who actually have their eyes on the road.

This is one for the rubber neckers

- nothing educational bout it. Keep to the speed limit... simple really!

Sorry to anyone that thinks this post is in poor taste. Please feel free to PM a mod to remove it. I posted it as someone already said, to prove that no one is bullet proof.

Adds a new meaning to 'Draggin Jeans'. Though it is a graphic picture I don't think that it is tasteless to post the reality of a bike crash here. A sobering sight for all of us to take notice of.

Lets face it, how many people on here with bikes capable of 200+? Next question, how many people use those bikes to go 200+?
