how the hell did that happen and why the hell is it on public display :o

that's the cleaned up version.
apparently there were 2 passengers in the car and one guy on the bike.
the guy on the bike was doing 200+kph when he hit the car.
he was found inside the car.
the 2 passengers, and the moto rider were all killed instantly.

the car was cleaned up, then reassembled, and is now part of an anti speeding display that travels around Europe.

I take it that the guy on the bike most probably went through the rear side window, oucha, i now know why i refuse to have a bike, dak dak does me just fine.

all it takes is someone to pull out in front of you and.......

I got sent an email a few weeks ago of a guy who met a similar fate.
let's just say that neither him or the bike were still in one piece.

The bike wasn't the problem, it's the car that stopped it that was the issue.

And besides, if a car T-boned a car at 200kph it would be a way bigger mess.

Cars pull out in front of me all the time, I just ride with two fingers on the front brake constantly. Oh, and I try not to do 200kph anywhere near anything that will stop me in such a short distance.

Exactly Wes, its because of the minotity of road users in cars why i refuse to ride, even with your lights on they stiil cannot see you 90% of the time, i have lost mates near and dear to me in the same senario, anyway keep your eyes open and take care..

Mate of mine was killed many years ago that way.
A van pulled out of an intersection while he was sailing down the highway.

Doesn't stop me riding. I've lost just as many friends in cars as on bikes.
I lost two crossing the road.

Well at least the air bag inflated!

I ride and it scares the shit out of me half the time - Seing downed bikes makes me sick! Saw one last year where a bike and car met at an intersection (dont know who's fault - not that it matters in the end), rider was killed, and blood stained the intersection for more than 4 weeks before the next time it rained - i passed it twice a day for that time and was quite disturbed by it. Ive had a few near misses where i was a complete goner if the driver didnt think - and i dont speed, lane split or ride like most of the half baked wankers out there. Theres a time and a place and suburbia isnt it!

I had aresholes not see me in my bright yellow bay with big wheels, so how are they going to see a bike!? That said 200kph around other people or traffic is farked up!
