Deadly motorcycle crash; location unknown.

Years old, Tulsa.

Are These Real Photographs of a Fatal Motorcycle Crash?

“If I can save one mother, one father from going through what I’ve gone through, then it’s worthwhile,” said Broken Arrow resident Dennis White, Brandon White’s father. “I can’t be mad, but I know I have to do something. I’ve got to make a positive out of this.”

Also, the friend of Brandon’s who “was killed 1 week before this on his motorcycle going 120+ on Highway 169″ referenced in the second example above was 21-year-old Devin Seigal, who was killed in a similar motorcycle accident five days after Brandon’s death (and had, in fact, attended Brandon’s funeral).

Didn't work because they're dummies.

Despite the hurt, the family members said they hope something good — a review of motorcycle safety laws — comes out of the recent death.​

Which law is that, the "don't run into the back of trucks" law?

 

Probably splitting lanes like all the responsible rocket riders do.

 

yeah, that's very old.



Tulsa Motorcycle Crash

Claim: Photographs show a motorcyclist who crashed into the back of a truck.

Status: True

Example: [Collected via e-mail, June 2007]

By Lackland AFB in San Antonio....

This crash was at 169 near Admiral exit last week. (2007)


These are pictures from a motorcycle accident last week on Highway 169 here in Tulsa. The guy was going over 125 mph around 2 am when he hit the back of the Yellow truck. The truck was going normal speed and did not know what had happened. He was drug approx a mile before the truck stopped. Highway 169 is known for late night speed driving and trick driving of motorcycles. This guy's friend was killed 1 week before this on his motorcycle going 120+ on Highway 169. Please be aware of what you're doing at all times..... and watch your speed.

 

I first want to say that I love to ride and would never stop. Now saying that, the way I ride has really changed over the years. I went from feeling invincible and getting in more than a few wrecks, to being extremely calm now. Now I just sit back and enjoy the ride and rarely if ever speed and because of that, most guys won't ride with me. I put around 12k miles a year on my bike and I have only one buddy who can stand to ride with me. I don't know what it is, but give an average guy a bike (a guy of any age) and most turn into instant irresponsible, speed demon, a-hole.

 

i had 3 motorbikes in my past, 2 cruisers, and 1 bagger. i tried running with some buddies, but who was ready to ride, who had to stop at someone else's house, or who backed out at the last minute. i said screw it, i'll go alone, or the wife came with me.

better riding days always.

never had the urge to get a crotch rocket, didn't feel the need for speed.

but some will always push the envelope.

 

That story is real but it’s about 20 years old.

Been riding and racing bikes since the early 70's.. sold my last one last year.. it keeps getting worse.. the near misses and purposeful lane intrusions (let alone the crappy region I live in) made it just less fun and more dangerous that it ever used to be.
