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.

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.

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.
