horrible accident

Stolen from here

edit/ images won't work

A picture is worth a thousand words.

The Honda rider was traveling at such a "very high speed", his reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. Swedish Police estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h (155mph) before the bike hit the slow moving car side-on at an intersection. At that speed, they predicted that (Mark Foisynunberg) the rider's reaction time (once the vehicle came into view) wasn't sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes. The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 10 feet from where the collision took place.

All three involved (two in car and rider) were killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair by the Swedish Police and Road Safety Department. The sign above the display also noted that the rider had only recently obtained his license.

At 250 KM (155 mph) the operator (Mark Foisynunberg) is traveling at 227 feet per second. With normal reaction time to SEE-DECIDE-REACT of 1.6 seconds the above operator would have traveled over 363 feet while making a decision on what actions to take. In this incident the Swedish police indicate that no actions were taken.

If it was more graphic then i'd add a 'nsfw', but it's just mangled metal, so it's sfw.
It is a strong reminder that regardless of gear, you're still very vulnreble on a bike, and in cars too.

Golfs now come with Honda engines

I'm sure I read on another forum that it's bogus. The cops put it together.

For a bike that is embedded into a car at 150mph the "plastic" fairing which cracks to pieces when the bike is dropped at 0mph is in great condition.
