Blargggh...

Wow, I'm normally really good with that sort of thing, but that made me feel not so flash

**McDuck** · 12th February 2008, 08:03

That was fantastic. Must be strange...

**Katman** · 12th February 2008, 08:29

The scooter looks ok though.

I've seen scooter riders do all sort of shit.

The "scooters are alright" attitude is what causes the problem in NZ (And probably most other countries). If I told my mum I was getting a SJ50QT I'd be sweet. But the SV650S took some convincing.

Because slow = safe, Right?

Yep, the scooter rider is all over the place, so the truck driver carn't work out which way it is going.

I can't see how you can argue that the truck is at fault...

The scooter is pulling right across the lane - I sure can't see if he's indicating. Completely oblivious to what's behind him.
No matter who's at fault anyway - I think the evidence clearly shows that the fella on the scooter lost... badly.

But yeah, that shows quite clearly that you shouldn't fuck around with trucks. They'll rip you in half - literally.

Edit:
At least the guy was wearing a helmet...

I love how the cars react during and after the accident. Kinda like: "WTF is that, ewww, nothing to see here - let's run along." Like the bloody sheep they are.

WOW! That was a pretty clear vid...I don't get troubled by vids like that (being a mother an all, you get to face gore often

), but I reckon that might be a good one to show "would be" road racers.

Although in this case I agree the truck was fully at fault.

I wonder what the heck happened to the guy from Kev's pictures though...he had proper gear on too

That guys pics have been around for a while, on a couple of American forums I belong to some of the guys know personally of the accident. Obviously he died on impact, apparently his brain was detached from the stem on impact. There is a couple of sites hosting the pics saying that he survived, snopes even has a page on it.

As for the original link, has it been locked or something? I can't see shit except heaps of Chinese text.
