    Biker taped friend's death going over 170mph!

    So I saw this in another forum and thought it was pretty crazy. Not sure if this is a repost or not though...

    RIP

    but he was only doing about 60 during impact

    The other guy either didn't look, his fault or miss judged the bikes closing speed both their faults

    Eh...just morbid human curiosity, really. The video doesn't show much detail, it all happened way to quick. The description of the scene is actually more graphic than the vid clip.

    Too bad. Another joy ride that got way too carried away.

    That's a damn shame...R.I.P. but for Chrissakes, if you want to go that fast take it to the track.

    It looks like the car and the victim both tried to make an unsafe pass...the car got there first and clipped the motorcyclist. It's a shame, but I see no joy in going that fast in public. Just too damn scary in my mind.

    I am very guilty of going fast like that and splitting lanes. Things can go wrong real fast...

    And that's what scares me...I am very thankful that, that type of riding on the streets scares the snot out of me.

    That article did a really great job demonizing those guys....not saying they didn't deserve it or anything, but still....It was getting my blood boiling reading that (in the sense that those irresponsible riders pissed me off) and then when I saw the actual accident in the video....it was at a point when they weren't even hooliganing it so much anymore. and that car also was attempting a hairy pass himself, with no mention of that....what a terrible situation all around.

    I make myself watch things like this to constantly remind myself to ride as safely as I can.

    I don't know the traffic laws there but I think that car either 1. pulled out intentionally or 2. Was trying to make a really stupid pass.

    (Not blaming the car. Those guys and anyone that rides like that on the street are/were idiots.)

    Loss of life is sudden and oft unpredicted.



    "...over 170mph"? Let's not tell stories.

    It seems like his speedometer read in km not miles per hour. So 170 km/h is a little under 110mph.. Right?

    yikes. im betting the car saw the bikes overtaking and in a moment of moronic speed-racerism went to make the pass to block the bike. Hell, I get that shit from cars on my PEDAL road bike, a lot of people cant stand the thought of getting passed by another car, let alone a bike or bicycle.

    Its no excuse, the area was WAY too congested for that kind of riding, but still, that guy in the car was a douche too.

    Not to condone the biker's attempt to overtake in traffic that hatchback driver should be facing vehicular manslaughter charges if he isn't already.
