    My thoughts as well, also if dragged for even 300 metres, wouldn't his feet be ground off to bones?

    wasn't this posted on ride2die.com?

    That's a fairly gruesome site, but certainly gets you thinking about how you vulnerable motorcyclists are.

    Back when I was 16 I was following a van too closely and decided to pull off the highway to have a piss in the woods........couldnt see around the van of course.....so pull off sharply.....and there is an 18 wheeler semi parked just on the shoulder with the driver having a nap. Needless to say I almost ended up on the darwin awards with that one. I would have prolly impacted at about 60 m.p.h. Certain death.

    Never again have I pulled a manuever like that. Almost never tailgate and NEVER pull off onto a shoulder without looking WAY ahead.

    Headfirst into the back of a truck

    Motorcyclist was traveling at ~120mph and ran into the back of the moving semi-truck. Truck driver said he felt the impact, and it took almost a 1/4 mile for him to pull over.

    This is what he found...

    not for faint of heart

    But still a massively impacting (sort of) display of what can happen when riding to fast for the conditions.

    After a while you realise the pig is enjoying it.

    If the truckie felt the impact...

    Not that gory though - except from the poor Kawasaki. Anyway, it does show why it's not a bad plan to wear proper boots...

    Quite an impact notice of the steel bumper has been bent a lot.
