Just something to put into your mental substrata of your brainpan. things like this help keep me grounded on earth, while yes i do play on the cloverleaf ramps, i no longer pass cars while doing it, i try to keep respectable around others on roadways. if you cant handle Gore, or bloody stuff, skip this. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

take a close look at that truck
Man, that's not for the faint of heart. Or stomach for that matter. You see the dude's helmet in the grill?! Geez.
:o Looks like they hit the truck head-on or something. The one with his head IN the pavement looks like a kid :(
In Holland there are also a lot of "cloverleaf racers". Every year a lot of deadly accidents happen on those cloverleafs because they are taken at insane speeds. Trucks and cars regularly spill Diesel fuel in the corners wich is very very slippery. Also, the metal guard rails alongside the corners kill lots of motorcyclists. When they hit the rails, bodyparts are cut off by the metal poles on wich the rail is mounted.

Yeah, those things can actually be extremely sharp on the edges! Imagine sliding through a giant slicer... :o
yeah didnt you know DOT has a smaller company division? its called Ronco. they put out things like the chopper, the salad shooter,and my favorite, the ez grater.
Ronco food dehydrator like their skin comes to mind.
I'd say "ouch," but something tells me they didn't feel much. :o
I'd be curious to hear the circumstances behind that mess!
John
OMG!
Yeah I don't think they felt a thing.... but holy moly!
Please tell me they were doing something less than bright!
There is nothing left of them or the bike.
Blah...
:( jeez that's enough to actually make you consider an SUV or a Hummer...yecchhhh
Oh God...that was rude..... :o :o
I would like to know more in detail what happened....
That is the worst thing I think I have ever seen. :o Not that its the best time to be sarcastic, but that won't be an open casket.
now i dont think the folks on the bike had long to think, or react, not that it would matter now, but, i gotta wonder what the guy driving the truck must have had going though his mind. what a nightmare to replay in your head, over and over.
(lookin at pix)
welp, an asprin wont quite do it i dont think.
Hey Buddy, Need a bandaide?
i think there was a major case of tunnel vision there, Collision Vision to the extreme. Target fixation to the 10 power.
did you guys need to register? Or am I retarted or something?
i need to also, im debating on weather or not its worth it ^_^
WOW that was disturbing :o
That is awful. One guys got no head, the others is smashed on the pavement. What an awful scene. The bike is gone! I cant get over the helmet on the truck. I cant even imagine whats still in the helmet if the guy aint got nothing on his body. Poor guys, at least it was quik.
Scary, but not that gross. I guess i should cool it down a bit around town..... I hope no one around here ends up even close to that =(
whoa :o :o :o something tells me they didnt even feel it.http://www.uploadit.org/files/221003-motocrash6.jpg
I can't even believe that's all real.
Rest in peace...
:(
ok please dont kill me on this one but id bet that they were doin somthin extremly stupid and they got complacent. or it may have just been a freak accident that nobody saw comin. who knows but

you need to register, but make sure you really want to.
It doesn't seem to give me the opportunity to registar.
OK, read the fine print. I got it thanks.

Only thing i can say, is something my father told me when i was 12 and i find it ringing true every day.
"Stupidity is the ONLY Crime against Nature that carries a Death penalty, Quite Often, this is not always Applied to the person commiting the offence, But another innocent life whom happens to be in the Blast radius."
All too often i see examples of this on a daily basis. careful out there, and plz, watchout for the stupid ones, they will get you killed,only to survive to do it again to someone else.[/quote]
