You are kidding! aye???????????????
A motorcyclist of great stature has died here and you tell us you've seen this sort of crash result many times before.
When called out, you actually meant you'd seen video footage of crashes.
Wow! you really are a piece of work.
Though I'd never met this rider I knew of his love of motorcycling and his journeys around the world,I'm saddened that a simple excursion has lead to his sudden and unexpected death.
The circumstances of his death are yet to be "actually" determined, until then, any and all conjecture about this accident should be restrained at least.
Every day above ground is a good day!:
I suggest you take your grievances to this thread here.
By the way, thanks for the compliments.
^ no soul..
Read between the lines mate... you're allowed to rip on lesser motorcyclists when they die, just not the ones that some idiot who's never met them tells you they are of great stature
(of course the irony is that you weren't, but lets not let that get in the way of his whining)
My first reaction on seeing the article and pic is, "Where did they say he died hitting the WRB?" and "Where is the damage to said WRB?"
IF I had to speculate, and I say, "IF", I would suspect he was dead before he hit the ground. I suspect he felt ill and slowed as much as possible in the time he had. Those that saw the footage of Denny Hulme's death at Bathurst will understand what I am saying.
"Statistics are used as a drunk uses lampposts - for support, not illumination."
Interesting take on this situation.
No if you knew this rider and you added your heartfelt condolences there couldn't possibly be a problem with that at all.
But to come into a thread started respectfully about someone who is known to many who ride and say what ol smoke did simply can't be let to slide by.
My intention was as the poster prior to me, to call smokeu's bluff about seeing so many horrific accidents and having any understanding of what it's like to be an attendee or the people who have to tell their next of kin whats happened.
That was all.
"tugger" who could deny that, whining? um no. knew the rider? not personally.
Rather a thread like this concentrated on the riders friends and family seeing us as people who care enough about their lost loved one and them, not to let a thread of this nature degenerate into a comparison of how nasty an accident scene can be, yes.
Smokeu I've repped you before, reds at all?
Time and place, is probably my main thought in saying what I did.
Every day above ground is a good day!:
