Motorcyclist was traveling at 120mph... Don't ask me why.

Post by 1niksder »

Semi-Truck was traveling down the highway at around 1 o'clock in the morning near Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Motorcyclist was traveling at 120mph and ran into the back of the moving semi-truck.

Truck driver said he felt the impact, and it took almost a 1/4 mile for him to pull over.

This is what he found.

I've seen many MVA’s/MCA’s come across my table. At first glace this didn’t add up?? At that speed hard to believe the body stayed in tacked?? I googled it and it’s seems legit. This just proves what we’ve always known…its not the speed that kills you it’s the sudden stop! I can’t believe a medic released these pics!!! But they will be a nice addition to my forensics lecture!

Wow. I just hope this guy's family never sees these series of pictures! That would be very tough to take.

The fastest I've gone on a m/c was about 117 mph when no other traffic was around. I was 24 yo at the time. When I got up to that speed, it started scaring me so I didn't push the bike any more (I think I could have gotten to 130+).

I would never ride that fast for that reason. I even prefer the back roads to the hiways. Better to ride with time to react, than hit the vehicle in front of you.

Definitely a Darwin Award...I wish we could interview him to figure out how he failed to see that truck on a level road with (apparently) little, if any, other traffic.

I can't imagine doing 120 on a bike and being able to maintain any control....

I've done 120 in my Porsche 928, which is a very stable car (50:50 weight distribution) with excellent aerodynamics and brakes. At 120 the Porsche felt like a flat stone skipping across a pond, so I can only imagine what that bike felt like at that speed....

You don't see irony in calling for a Darwin Award for this clown, while yourself declaring that you have driven 120 in anything that "felt like a flat stone skipping across a pond" (worse, I am assuming on a public road)?

Facinating!

I nominate you!

the back roads here in NC scare the heck out of me. i've seen what a deer can do to a vehicle at 60 MPH. when i take my vette all out like that, i only do it very late at night, or at the butt crack of dawn on the large highways with dividers, to lessen the chance to run into bambi. i don't even think about getting on it when i see other drivers out there. if i kill myself, fine, my choice, but no way do i want to endanger anyone else. it's a great car, built for speed. but things happen REALLY fast at 150+ mph.

speed is both very additive and very dangerous, and i love it. but there is no way in hell i'd go that fast on a bike, ever. it's crazy enough to do it on 4 wheels, much less 2.

Pfffttt, that weaksauce. :wink: The Acura (rest her soul) got up to 145 mph. :twisted: Only did it once though on a back road and it scared the heck out of me.

I'll still getting a bike in the spring of 08. :twisted:

I agree with you 100%. I should've included a disclaimer like this in my post in order to ward off the inevitable post-crapping that resulted.

If I hadn't seen these pictures before Sunday, I would have said that the driver was a displaced Redskins fan who watched yesterday's game.

Is it possible that the motorcycle was stationary, and the lorry was reversing at 120mph?

Just a thought.

Maybe they were both reversing at 120mph ...
Any way you look at it, the motorcycle driver lost.

Unless he was trying to kill himself, in which case he won the jackpot.
