Default Talk about bad accidents

Summer is coming lots will be riding more...Ride safe!!
Florida, I-95, Guy with his girl on back doing 120 plus on a riceburner loses it, they go down, bodies slide into traffic one being 18 wheeler limbs were severed and the worst part was the response teams trying over three hours to locate the girls head.
Florida, I-95, Hooters bike night, kids leaving showing off doing way over 100, lost it and then lost his life.
Both last month. At 100 plus the helmets didnt matter much.
Gotta watch that speed.

Imagine what was going through that girls head as her asshole boyfriend brought the sportbike to 120mph.... She was probably screaming at him and he thought it was funny...

I've gone 120mph on my sporty, but it sure as hell wasn't in traffic and I didn't have someone on the back...

Idiots... I don't know what people are thinking... There's been a lot of couples killed on sportbikes in this area in the past few years...I can think of three roadside crosses off the top of my head.

This phenomenon is known as "natural selection"; also known as thinning the herd.

There were some pictures on the internet a while back that showed a crotch rocket that had plowed into the back of a stopped 18 wheeler. The rider was plastered into the back of the trailer. Witnesses said he was going in excess of 100mph. Was not a pretty site. To each their own as far as going that fast. I have no desire.

My days of going insanely fast ended in my 20s. I am too damn old and have used of too much of my "luck" to press it much farther. I just get my rocks off on the quick 0-70 and call it a day. Three digit speeds are best left for professionals on closed circuits.

I've hit 100 a couple times on my bike. Again, never with anyone on the back though. I sure as hell wouldn't do it with my girl on the back. I feel sorry for the chick, but her idiot of a boyfriend deserves it.
