Diagnose this wreck

Bigdaddy75 · 08-07-2007, 7:00 AM

Ok when I look at this the only way I can see this happening is either

A. The rider was not paying attention or maybe came around a bend at speed and had no chance to take evasive action.

B. The truck hit something unseen to both rider and truck.

A bike should outbrake a truck so to me it's unfortunate but it looks on the surface like rider error - does anyone else have a take on this?

Perhaps a combination. He might've changed lanes at speed to avoid something, he might've been gawking at something on the footpath...

Either way it doesn't look as though he would've faired too well.

/me wonders what happend to the rider

Sprinter · 08-07-2007, 9:11 AM

I think the truck leapt out from behind a tree and bit the bike. Just a theory....

brian's929 · 08-12-2007, 3:37 PM

i agree damn trucks just popping out of no where..

scud · 08-12-2007, 10:05 PM

in melbourne, here in australia, i have noticed trucks tend to give way to motorcyclists alot. They pretty much allways make sure they get out of your way.

Target fixation.

dicknose · 08-12-2007, 11:00 PM

Speed differential - well up until the point where after the collision they are both doing the same speed.

A bike at 100km/h wount out brake a truck at 20!

Maybe the truck was reversing and rider got of in time

Judging by the police tape, he died.

I say one of two things.
1. He was following a car too closely that whipped over to the next lane and he had a car beside him.
2. Stuntin like his daddy and came down from a wheelie to see a truck bumper.

loadedthorn · 08-13-2007, 12:35 PM

I don't see skidmarks in the photo...

"Judging by the police tape, he died."

Looks like some blood on the right peg and back tire?

tikki50 · 08-13-2007, 12:57 PM

running from the cops?

Bobo88 · 08-15-2007, 3:57 PM

looks like one hell of a nice bike too...

LITEITUP · 08-17-2007, 1:20 PM

Hard to say, any of those scenarios. I would say he died. Police tape, all the blood, police suv with homicide written on it which would indicate he prolly investigates deaths and the fact he had to be going pretty fast to crunch the bike under the truck that far.

SamoanzRR · 08-17-2007, 2:47 PM

ewwwww......he's dead! probably didn't feel a thing either.

One would have to plan that just right or else the bike would be on the ground. it also wouldn't explain how far the bike is under the truck and the amount of damage. That can only come from high a velocity impact.

2k929 · 08-17-2007, 3:56 PM

It was homicide! See the police explorer in the background?

Looks like he was coming down from a wheelie. Big ole truck like that was probably going pretty slow too.

LOL or like the other guy said.. Homocide lol highly unlikely imo. I know,he was just kidding.

07Repsol · 08-19-2007, 9:29 PM

Not paying attention. It's a killer.

The rider? TOAST. He's sitting next to his grandpa right now swapping stories.

Twincam · 09-28-2007, 4:49 PM

Well basically i think he just wanted to try and see what was in the back of the truck, but got a bit close for comfort..

Thats what happens to peeping toms!

subo · 09-28-2007, 6:46 PM

It may of happend at night and he never noticed the truck?

or the posibility of suicide,

i have been to one incident where this was the case (not nice) kawasaki zx10 flat out into the front of a parked 30ton truck, pushed the truck 15m along the road.

Hmm, must have been going fast!

One way to die, adrenaline rush and then bang - but what happens if you survive?! Selfish thing to do though.

I think, the truck was playing hide and seek... and the bike found him faster than he expected... anyone know what happened to it?

pmlavigne · 09-29-2007, 6:59 AM

Whatever the reason, whatever the cause, and whatever the result, the last thing that went through this rider's mind was his ass.

Sime · 09-29-2007, 8:22 AM

Yeah, I saw the blood on the peg and the tire too.

Did anyone notice what appears to be blood splatter on the tank part of the truck (top right corner of the image).

He's toast.

*ratchetman* · 09-29-2007, 12:20 PM

too bad about the bike

*Hitman954* · 09-29-2007, 3:21 PM

So you've never went fast on your bike huh? Whats your objective with going '3 up in the back'?

sospelotudo · 12-24-2007, 5:00 PM

I know I am late in replying, but judging by the decals, I believe that the rider was on an urgent delivery to the hospital with a donor organ or two...he seems to have made it.

May God not strike me down for that!
