Sobering story of a bike and a VW!

[dugsud]

This shocked me....obviously due to the violence of the impact but also that there are people stupid enough to do 155 past junctions....total madness!!

IIRC this was disputed by many people and was regarded as a very stylised recreation.

[swordfish_gtr]

if that bike was supposed to of hit that car at anything over 100mph it is one very strong bike

[black-k1]

I seem to remember that this was found to have been totally staged.

[dugsud]

I did wonder.....the bike seems too complete for that speed of impact!

Well it is a Honda.........

[hugoagogo]

is it an RC30 or an NC30? 155 seems a little bit high even for an RC, that's got to be flat out (although it does look a bit 'done up')

[Tazfan]

It is apparently fake. Its over dramatised to get the point across about how vulnerable we are on bikes.

[hugoagogo]

when it says the biker was dead inside the car with the car passengers

a. how did he get in there? was he liquidised first? yet the bike survived practically unscathed
b. how did they get them all out?

[Davel]

Totally irresponsible of the car driver to do 155 past a junction anyway, especially in that car!

[SplatSpeed]

i have taxed worse

[y2blade]

staged but gets people thinking

the bike was an NC30 400cc


the rider was killed.

[hugoagogo]

i refuse to accept that bike is the one that actually hit the car, or that an NC30 did anywhere approaching 155mph

Pretty unlucky for it to happen inside an exhibition hall.

Scares the crap out of new riders.. like me.

Makes you think about getting a bike in the first place.

However I won't be maxing it like that.

The car was white before the crash!
