It is quite obvious that the truck driver was at fault.

[Jackrabbit379]

Is that the same one that happened south of Tulsa last year? I remember hearing something about it..

[Mackman]

I think it is fake.

Take a good look at them pics. Something just dont look right if he hit the back of the truck at 100mph+

[vavega]

it is real mackman. i remember it also, i have a friend who lives in coweta and we discussed it last year. couldn't remember the exact date, but dug it out of the tulsa world archives. (http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?articleID=070418_1_A10_hAPer17382) the police report is included.

[Snowman7]

Dont know if its fake or not but its been around a couple years. Actually it looks real to me. BTW the truck was rolling down the highway, it wasnt 100 mph into the back of a stopped truck.

[Jackrabbit379]

Yeah, I remember hearing about a motorcycle running into a back of a Yellow truck on HWY 69 south of Tulsa. The Yellow driver was heading to Dallas, or somewhere, if I remember hearing right.

That's why I was asking swans if that was the same wreck.

[Rev.Vassago]

It's on Snopes as real.

It's rude to say but idiots like that give sensible people like me a bad name.

I ride a sport bike, have owned probably 8 of them over the years since 1994 but I would have to think about it hard to remember them all.

I have NEVER and will NEVER get a speeding ticket on them for the simple fact I see no reason to ride like a twit but I automatically get lumped into the catagory as this genius who ended himself due to his own stupidity. People like him will eventually get so many restrictions on them there will be no need to buy one because a harley will be able to out run them.

There is a time and place for everything and the time and place for riding like that is on the track where I do it, not on the street where he ended himself.

Darwinism at work.

Actually, I don't think you'll have to worry about it much. Idiots like that will disappear by ATTRITION. Once one of them dies, that same rider will NEVER do it again.

Back in 1992 the dayshift guy whom drove the truck I was on nights, was hit from behind by a guy on a "Crotch Rocket". Steve didn't even feel the impact, because the unit was a 4-axle truck, pulling a 4-axle trailer, loaded with gasoline. After hitting the bumper of the trailer, the bike and rider fell to the pavement.

The only reason that the cyclist survived, was that the first vehicle behind Steve, was a Bellevue WA Fire Department EMT Rescue squad..and the car right behind them was a Doctor whom had just got off shift at Children's Hospital in Seattle. They were on the east end of the 520 floating bridge, in the middle of the high-rise.

Steve was just finishing unloading his truck at a store in Kirkland, when a WSP officer pulled onto the lot, and told him what had happened. LOL.........Steve swore he had a heart attack...and thought he was headed to jail.

Chit happens.

I was heading back to Fairbanks on the A3 after mting out in some little town and had to come to a complete stop for a four wheerler that wanted to make a left turn. There are ALOT of straight stretches on the highway for emergency landings and some moron opened his bike wide. AHP figured he was doing about 130 when he bounced off the trailer. No helmet either:eek1:

[Syncrosonix]

looks like yellow won the face off!


that was a nice bike, too.

. . and the piker took second . . by a nose . .

[Biscuit Lips]

This accident happened way back in April 2007. The motorcyclist was under the influence of alcohol at the time of this incident. To bad it wasn't one of those dirtbag, pirate- wannabe, village people looking Harley riders. Just kidding, it is a tragedy when anyone dies on our roadways.

Where the **** are his shoes? Why do people all get knocked out of their shoes?
