    RIP Friend

    BREAKING: Friend Who Just Got Motorcycle Already Dead



    BRIDGEPORT, CT—Moments after purchasing a new Kawasaki Ninja 250R, your friend Pete has already been killed, bystanders outside the motorcycle dealership have just confirmed. "Boy, that didn't last long," said bike salesman Chris Varrick, adding that “no more than 10 seconds” after becoming a bike owner, Pete lost control of his motorcycle, collided with an 18-wheeler, was flung approximately 30 yards, and died upon impact with the pavement. "He handed over the check, thanked me, and took off down Jackson Road. And then he died." At press time, Pete's younger brother, who inherited the bike, has also already died.

    I've been a fan of the Onion since the early 90's when it was in print form, but that story is sounds like a very realistic one that probably happens with some frequency. They're slipping.

    His death means nothing to me. I like, didn't even know him.

    If he had a liter bike to start off with he could have power wheelied right out of the trucks path... wrong choice for a beginner bike.
