Motorcycle Crash and Burn

Motorcycle Crash and Burn

Not sure what really happened to cvause this crash. Sure seems like he was going very fast, but, he roads are as wide as hell you can see the corners coming from a miles away it just doesn’t make sense. It was a smooth corner, did then rider just zone out or hallucinate and not realize there was a turn?

Well, how many times have we heard people use the phrase crash and burn? Unfortunately, this motorcycle accident is exactly that . . . A crash and burn!

One thing is for certain here, this motorcycle accident could have been much much worse if not for the fact that another motorcyclist pulled the rider away from the burning bike and shrubbery. To me, it looks like the accident rider was in no condition to get away from the bike in the flames which would’ve resulted in certain horrible death.

I don’t know what the outcome to this accident was at least as far as the motorcycle riders injuries. But, I believe he was extraordinarily fortunate to have other motorcycle riders right there. Read more »

San Diego CA Motorcycle Accident

Speeding motorcycle hurtles into driver during pursuit

San Diego Ca Motorcycle Accident

A motorcycle rear-ended into an innocent driver during a high-speed chase on Interstate 805 in the North Park area of town.

No biker wants to hear about a motorcycle crash. But, whether in a car or bike it’s really stupid to try to speed away and have the CHP case you on the highway. Personally, I think the stupidity level is doubled when you try to out run the cops on a motorcycle.  I think in the majority of these situations the motorcycle is usually ends up dead or seriously injured. But, what is really tragic in stories like this one, is that usually innocent motorist or pedestrians are often injured in these police chases. Read more »

Harley Motorcycle Crash

 Harley Motorcycle Crash

This was a crash of a Harley rider  doing motorcycle stunts at a Harley Davison bike night event in San Diego California. although the crash looks bad the motorcycle rider escaped with just a few bruises. It also looked like  the Harley just ended up with a couple of minor scrapes.

These Harley motorcycle riders were doing wheelies and other motorcycle stunts right on Marina Boulevard in front of the San Diego Harley-Davidson dealership. personally, I think you’re really stretching the envelope  when you do any type of motorcycle riding stunts. But, this is especially true when you do them on a heavy Harley-Davidson motorcycle! Read more »

Motorcycle Accident – rider loses control on turn

Motorcycle Accident

A motorcycle rider takes a turn with too much speed and ends up losing control. Luckily the motorcyclist only suffered a fractured collarbone, along with a few scratches.

Looks like somebody got a little too freaked out passing that “Left Lane Ends” warning sign at about 80 miles an hour and over corrected juuuuuuust a wee bit too far to the right. “An’ another one rides the bus, hey, hey!!!…”, well, at least until his arm finishes its stint in the sling… 😀 Read more »

Harley Motorcycle Accident

Harley Motorcycle Accident – San Diego Motorcycle Stunt Crash

San Diego Motorcycle Stunt Crash at San Diego Harley Davidson Bike Night.

First of all, that me say that the stunt rider in this video did not get injured. Plus, the bike did get some damage but it all looked relatively minor when seen close-up.

Now doing wheelies on lightweight Japanese bikes is one thing, but, on Harley-Davidson’s bikes it’s quite another. Read more »

Harley Crash and Save

Harley Crash

Harley Crash doing a radical wheelie. They should call the rider catman as he bailed out and landed on his feet.

I have nothing really negative to say about this video because at least the motorcycle driver was smart enough to practice stunts in what looks to be a warehouse area versus the public streets. Plus, he was smart enough wear a full face helmet.

I guess if I was intent on practicing motorcycle stunt riding I would’ve have also had set of Kevlar jeans, protective gloves and definitely a good set of boots that would protect my ankles. Read more »

Motorcycle Accident Lane-splitting California

Motorcycle Accident Lane-splitting California

This is in California where motorcycle spitting is legal. Yes, its legal in California because its statistically safer than getting crunched between to cars.

In a total unbiased opinion, I think it’s the cars fault. he was illegally changing lanes out of the carpool into a pretty tight space (no reason to do that). Even if this wasn’t in CA, I still think it’s the cars fault. If it is in Ca then it is 100 percent the cars fault
Lane splitting has been proven to be safer. It keeps you out of possibility to get rear ended, which end up causing more injuries than crashes like this. There is evidence to this. In my opinion the rider was splitting a bit too fast, but that car obviously didnt look before they turned.

Motorcycle rider comments:

Drove this freeway every day for five years.
The orange crush.

Cars cannot pass the double yellow! Read more »

Street Motorcycle Accident

Street Motorcycle Accident

Street bike wheelie crash caught on camera from 2 different angles during annual MOM Middle Of The Map 2015 street stunt ride in Kansas City, MO. Watch as stunt bike rider gets owned in epic fail while riding wheelie performing illegal stunts on the highway. Street Motorcycle Accident jerk:

The biker is riding a highchair wheelie when the sport bike shuts off unexpectedly in the middle of the trick at high speeds causing the stunt bike rider to mouse trap and fly over the handlebars of his motorbike. This then causes huge crash on busy highway in heavy traffic from other motorcyclist and automobiles. The motorcycle seen wrecking in this video is a 2003-2004 Kawasaki Ninja ZX636 ZX6R custom build an setup from performing stunts and tricks as seen in this video footage.

This video clip serves as a great reminder to always wear the proper protective or safety gear when riding a motorcycle or attempting any stunts remember to wear protective or safety gear such as full face helmet, leather or mess jacket, back or spin protective vest, gloves, leather boots, and long pants because as you can see from this video something can go wrong in the blink of eye causing even the best riders to crash hard and get owned.

From my point of view as an older ‘sane’ motorcycle rider:

Motorcycle Accident

Quote from the guy who took the video: “It’s completely her fault. Double lane change. No shoulder checks. Improper merge with traffic. These are the very basic things you learn. What if that was an emergency vehicle”?

You are always supposed to turn to your inside lane. She crossed over into the other lane right away. Sure the car is at fault also but she’s the one that took the punishment. Defensive driving 101, if you stay in your inside lane it gives someone going too fast somewhere to go. If you cross over  you are crossing over the whole road and putting yourself in the path of someone like this. Read more »

California Motorcycle Accident

From the motorcycle video taping the ride with his wife in the lead: Riding through the Santa Cruz mountains when my wife hit a pothole on her Suzuki SV650. She ended up going head first into on coming traffic.
Luckily the driver was going slow which is very rare for this road. Her head went under the car and hit the front axle but she wasn’t hurt because the car had stopped just as her head hit. Any faster and she would have broke her neck.m

Yep…It looks like it really could have been target fixation. It had happen to me once or twice. A good motorcycle instructor said: “remember this and you’ll be just fine; Read more »
