    Glad to hear that segment of the human gene pool is thinning out without causing harm to others! :mrgreen:

    No, the A-holes are those that put others lives in danger because they want to strap on to a vehicle that will go fast and will do so just to "test it out"... ....Yes, "RIP biker" ...good thing he is off the streets to do no damage to anyone else. Maybe that is where YOU should be since you condone this type of behavior. What, too callous for you? I tell it like it is.

    Truck Driving an occupation consisting of hours of boredom interrupted by sheer terror!!

    As a biker and a trucker I think all of you who say "good for him" are on the right track. I've been a biker for more years than I can count. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason for those speeds on public roadways!! There are plenty of places that individual could "Feed his need for speed" and still not place anyone else' life in danger. This same type of individual is an example of the ones that will fly through rush hour traffic, weaving in and out, create their own lane between vehicles, using the shoulder for driving, etc. I stand behind what I said am am glad the gene pool is being reduced without physically harming other innocent people.

    And by the way, the idiot is not a biker! He was someone who could afford a fast bike and decided he had a new toy. A "Biker" understands the road, his machine and the general public around him. A "Biker", just like a "Trucker" is a professional with his machine! That idiot was neither a professional nor a biker!

    Who I certainly feel for in this incident is the trucker himself. Although he may not have been physically harmed, there is no doubt that incident will forever be etched in his mind! Even though he was not the cause he will most likely always wonder if he did something to cause it or could have done something to prevent it. That is only normal for a decent human being. Unfortunately it has its toll mentally on decent human beings.

    "The trucker told officers the impact made him think he'd been hit by another truck."

    Wow that would be a hard hit.

    "The medical examiner will try to determine if White might have been intoxicated at the time."

    Probably not much left to get a sample for the test

    Check his helment the head might have survived the impact if it was any good. Yes the guy died but at least they can not blame the truck driver for this one.

    don't think it was that good
    He actually impaled himself into the rear of the truck, head first,

    I don't think that's physically possible. It must be language designed to sound gruesome.

    To impale someone is to shove a stake through them somewhere, basically. How do you impale yourself on the ass end of a truck hitting it from the rear? Unless it was a flatbed with steel rods hanging out the back or something, there's not not anything to impale yourself ON.

    I don't get it. I didn't get to see the video, if there was any. All the video was just advertisements.

    They said they found him hanging on the back of the trailer so it's possible he impaled the trailer doors?

    Well it's confirmed found some pictures of his wreck, he did impale himself to the trailer. Not going to post the pictures (obviously) or the link the the pictures pretty graphic in nature. ....... EXTREME WARNING, not a G rated site. Just google ogrish forums and you can do the rest.
