Note to self: be vewy, vewy careful

Can't tell what kind of bike it is, but it looks painful.

[SeattleKatana]

wow!!

[Trapper]

I guess he didn't read those big letters on the street. slow

[Nexus242]

So the bike is now attached to the caddy rear window??? The paint makes it look like the Honda RC-51. Wonder how he got the rear end up that high anyway??

[fireblade1]

I understand the desire to trade that bike in for a Caddy, but is that really any way to part with a CBR F4I??

The kid, a new rider died at the scene. The lady, an older lady, was pulling out of a somewhat blind drive way from getting her hair done. If I remember correctly it was not a speed thing, just lack of experience.

Whoa, Nelly !!!!!

[Va bene]

Ouch.

Yup. That was Napa, CA last summer. Inexperience plus crappy old-lady driver = death.

It was all over the internet a few months ago.

Yo dog, you must be a new rider. See that BIG HONDA WING PAINTED ON THE FAIRING?

let me guess the cage driver said the 4 famous words "i didnt see him", stupid cages

Idiocy is not the exclusive domain of cagers, hey most of us here are also cagers.

Notice the big yellow letters on the pavement spelling out SLOW!

Had the rider been going SLOW he wouldn't have done more than maybe bend the front forks if he didn't hit the caddy in the first place.

did you read my po...oh nevermind

[TsPerformance]

Looks like fun /sarcasm.

Oh sorry to burst yalls bubbles but thats a Lincoln Towncar

[inspiron]

I think that the biker was probably more at fault (not that it really makes a difference - in any accident, the biker loses).

If you look at the lettering on the street, you can tell he was passing a school zone (SLOW - SCHOOL is painted on the street). He should have been doing no more than 25 mph, but it looks like he had about 2 to 3 times that speed when he hit.

so sad - the timing is reversed here; stupid old lady lives, young biker guy dies. Should've been the other way around!

Anyway, you must always consider and look at cage drivers as idiots by default. You have to think for them, or else they will kill you.

I think the people who put this on the news, blaming the biker, are liars.
I don't think this was a high speed crash at all!
The door of the car is just dented, and the top caved in a bit. The bike is in one piece, and it was not even projected away from the car. It just got stuck on it - probably the pegs pierced the car's body, so it's hanging up on them.
I would say this was a 30-40mph head on crash.

If the bike had high speeds (over 60mph), then the damage to the car and the bike would have been much bigger. I've seen high speed T-bone crashes - A high speed motorcycle can slice through a car like a bullet. The car may even be split into two pieces. Usually the bike is competely destroyed and macerated into several pieces. The pieces are also ejected into several directions, and far away from the crash scene. Obviously there is nothing like that on this scene.

They blame it on the biker, because he is dead, so it's so convenient to pass blame. He cannot tell his story anymore. I'm sure that Alzheimer stricken idiot just pulled across the street without looking. They always do.

There are no skid marks, which means the biker became paralyzed by fear, and probably by target fixation. He must have been a beginner. Sucks!
