Motorcycle Highway Accident

Motorcycle Highway Accident

I’m curious on what happened before this and seems to be a case of road rage. Is the biker dumb for brake checking right in front of a car? Yes, completely, but anyone who says he deserved to be hit, injured, etc., with that kind of mentality, is what makes riding on streets more dangerous. The driver too with being more concerned about his car than a human life.

Maybe if the car driver kept further distance like he should have then he wouldn’t have rear ended the biker. Doesn’t matter if the biker is being stupid it’s no excuse to hit him.

Motorcycle jeans test

Motorcycle jeans destruction test

This video is a comparison of two types of motorcycle jeans, not a scientific or repeatable test. An actual motorcycle accident would submit the jeans to more energy in a much shorter time. This video simply compares two pair of motorcycle jeans. . . fully Kevlar and partially Kevlar lined. I’d go for the better quality pair, but what other people decide to do is entirely up to them.

Not really a fair comparison since an actual motorcycle accident won’t be like the scenario you set up. Read more »

Motorcycle crash at 100+ mph

Motorcycle crash

Quote from the motorcycle who took the video: “He fell cuz the front tire was bald. And he doesn’t ride like that anymore (he learned his lesson). And the gsxr was fixed looks brand new. Like I say every true rider falls at least once”.

Anyone new to riding needs to watch this video to learn why wearing proper gear is so important. Dude’s pants shredded instantly. Arms looking like some zombie flick extra. He actually came out incredibly well considering.

He rolled vs. sliding at that speed that wound have ripped the the flesh from this bones. Dude got really lucky, especially to walk away practically unharmed after dumping at that speed with just a helmet and no gear … minimal road rash and mostly a bruised ego and a busted bike. Read more »

Motorcycle crash description

Motorcycle Crash, motorcycle accident

Honda CBR600F4i

The motorcycle crash in the riders own words:

At around 0:15 seconds I see the traffic building up ahead and I try to slow down to the flow of traffic ahead of me, and due to the fact that this is my FIRST TIME riding my new CBR600F4i, I, being used to my old 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R, squeeze the front brake as I normally would on my Ninja, and my front wheel locks up due to the fact that the two bikes have very different braking power (the CBR600 being way more powerful due to the fact that it has a 600cc engine rather than a 250cc like the one on the Ninja).

 Motorcycle Crashes Compilation of 2013

 Conclusions from a U.S. Government study of motorcycle accidents:

The findings from the analysis described in this report identify a variety of trends from FARS data, available exposure data and calculated rates.
