Crikey, I would normally never post gore in this thread, but this is some crazy (and cautionary) shit from April of 2007:

Tulsa - A Broken Arrow man was killed early Tuesday morning after a motorcycle accident on Highway 169 near 81st Street .

Witnesses say the cyclist was going faster than 100 miles per hour when he crashed into the back of a semi truck between 81st and 91st Street at about one o'clock Tuesday morning.

Investigators say evidence shows the cyclist was going about 120 miles per hour at the time of the impact. It took the truck driver more than a quarter of a mile to come to a stop. When he did, he stepped out of his rig and found the motorcyclist dead at the back of the truck.

"The truck driver was not hurt," says Captain Matt Kirkland. "He said that the impact was so strong that he thought he was hit from behind by another truck."

Officers said there was no indication that drugs or alcohol played a factor in the accident.

Don't click on the above link unless you're okay with seeing a dead body. Having a slightly sick sense of humor will help.

It's amazing how many people loose their shoes in serious accidents. I remember in one of my serious accidents (I've had many) I was wearing heavy high top hiking boots and after the accident the shoelaces of one of the boots were broken in 7 or 8 places. basically the impact snapped the laces all up and down the boot, my foot and ankle were black and blue for a month, but otherwise unharmed.

I'm a little unforgiving concerning the kids today and their hotdogging (On road stunt riding) and truly excessive speeding. I sort of consider it culling the breed. in the past I've ridden ridiculously fast, but always on deserted roads.
