Default Do you see the bike...terrible!!!

Hey guys....just wanted to share this with you and wish all of us a crash and cop free season...a reminder of how many idiots are on the roads...

















[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']The Honda[/font][FONT='Arial','sans-serif'] rider was traveling at approximately[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'] 85 mph. The VW driver was talking on a cell phone when she[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'] pulled out from a side street, apparently not seeing the[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']motorcycle. The riders reaction time was not sufficient[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']enough to avoid this accident. The car had two passengers[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 20 feet from where the collision took place.[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'] All three involved (two in the car and the bike rider) were[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']the Motorcycle Fair by the Police and Road Safety[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Department.[/font]

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Pass this on to car drivers or soon to be new drivers, or new motorcycle owners[/font][FONT='Arial','sans-serif'] AND ESPECIALLY EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHO HAS A CELL PHONE!!!!![/font]

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'] A picture is worth a thousand words.[/font]

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Wake up people , Stop talking on Cell phones and[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Texting while trying to drive. Put your Cell phone[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']in the back seat !!![/font]

Seriously that makes me feel a bit sick.

It's a mock-up though right? Otherwise how did they get the victims out?

Apparently not - it's been around a lot of years now. They obviously sanitised it to remove the gore.

My understanding years ago was the bike was ridden by a 12 year old girl (she had stolen it from her dad) doing 300KPH and the car was full of puppies and 17 elderly people.

On a serious note, I always thought this was real and was the bike's fault for going really fast and pretty much everyone died. We always blame the car, but crank a superbike and you become a razor slicing through the air. Do the math, F=MA. You can be a murderer on a bike, never question that.

That pic has been around for years, with a different caption and storyline everytime it resurfaces. No one can believe the hype behind the pic anymore, not even the truth.
