If you ride. Don't ride stupid. Gear can't buy you brains. Oh and a heads up, the second two pictures aren't really 'graphic' per say, but can be very disturbing. Just giving you a heads up. Read the text, and then decide if you want to look at the pictures.
________________________________________________________________________________ Motorcyclist Killed After High-Speed Crash Overnight Tuesday April 17, 2007 11:07am Posted By: Kevin King
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. ________________________________________________________________________________
It's a shame really, I just hate it when people think they are invincible. 120mph on a public road? At night? On two wheels? Come on...have some sense...
