Re: First Person View Of A Motorcyclists Death

Loud pipes just annoy the fuck out of me. That being said, last month about 300 feet away from my house a guy on a bike going straight hit a car turning left driven by a young girl. Guy was speeding, girl was texting. The speed limit is 35 mph. People on bikes race up and down this street at 60+ mph. Yeah, I look out for bikes, but do your freaking part and don't ride like a dumbass!!

Re: First Person View Of A Motorcyclists Death

does anybody know why he died? I researched but only found one article saying he died from multiple injuries.. would like to understand what exactly killed him, wouldn't think you necessarily die immediately by flying off the motorcycle unless you hit something ahead of you like a tree?!
I'd take a guess at neck injuries, my mothers cousin died in the exact same way years ago. He broke his neck.

Must have been a moron momentarily using a cell phone while making a blind turn.

Re: First Person View Of A Motorcyclists Death

Wow that sucks. He was going fast but how can you not see him coming YOUR WAY? Dude in the van wasn't paying full attention
Well look how quick that was. If we could see from the car's perspective then it would be easier to criticize. Although it's obvious that the biker was going waaayyyy too fast and the car probably saw him coming but didn't realize how fast he was going and thought he would beat him. He didn't.

Re: First Person View Of A Motorcyclists Death

I agree with a lot of posters here. Both are at fault, he was speeding and the car driver didn't take the time to have a proper look. I sometimes think car drivers should be made to learn more about biking. A lot of car drivers don't have any idea, I wouldn't if I didn't have a mate that used to be a biker.

Re: First Person View Of A Motorcyclists Death

What kind of ass goes 97 MPH on a road that has oncoming traffic? The amount of bikers killed doing that is insane. A car doesn't even have to hit you, it can just scare you coming out of a driveway and then your reflexes take over and BANG into oncoming traffic you go.

Re: First Person View Of A Motorcyclists Death

Nice vid.. Speed killed this biker. Had he be doing the speed limit, he would have had the time to stop or move out of the way.

The streets are not a playground, fellas. Save it for the fucking track.

Re: First Person View Of A Motorcyclists Death

Cars are the reason I don't ride a street bike.

That and the temptation to drive as fast as this guy did, it's almost irresistible to me to drive too fast on a nice motorcycle.
