R1 and Busa T-Bone a Car
From another site:


For those of you that didnt know I'm a Firefighter for Orange County Fire Rescue here in Florida. Well one night about 1:30am we had just come from a call. The Bay Doors were open and I coudnt sleep. It was a quiet night and I heard two bikes coming towards the station. I then hear Screeeeech !!!!!! Boooooom!!!!. I called a still alarm. It happened around the corner from our station. When we turned around the corner,Both bikes was on Fire,fuel spread across the road2 Riders down,2 passengers in the car Trama Red. Both riders were DOA,The R1 rider burns down to the bone over 70% of his body. The Hayabusa rider was cut in half.The Force of his body being thrown forward,the wind screen did it. We arrived less than 3 minutes and this is what we found.

Re: R1 and Busa T-Bone a Car
That really pisses me off. I do not understand people. Once you get a bike, the testosterone flows like a river and they just cant control their actions. How many more bikers are going to die doing stunts like that. This same thing happened in Cocoa Beach several months ago.

Re: R1 and Busa T-Bone a Car
Not good.

An old friend's dad was CHP and he used to show me his CHP "magazine" which included accident photos...before the bodies were removed. I've often thought they should bring back that type of training, ala the "red asphalt" movie they used to show in driver's ed. Not sure if that would be good or not, but those pics sure sobered me up as a new driver (didn't ride then). It also gave me an appreciation for why CHP could get worked up over traffic violations that I would have thought were no big deal. You get tired of seeing all that death and mayhem pretty quickly.

Sad.

What was the status of the car occupants? The drivers side looks pretty scary, the didnt-survive-it type of scary.

Re: R1 and Busa T-Bone a Car
Despite what they were doing, I hope that both riders RIP. Racing is a huge on any place other than the track. But nobody deserves death...I hope that both occupants in the car completely recover, it's so sad that other innocent people have to suffer from squids being meatheads and doing **** like that.

I just hope that the people in the car weren't killed. If the ****tards racing killed one of them, then they are no better than the blind cager that kills a biker. I just hope that their deaths can convince at least one of their other ****tard friends to take it to a strip.

Street racing? No, they were likely engaging in far more insidious behavior such as riding the speed limit while sharing a lane.

Baketech. You can't determine if speed was a factor here or not? Maybe they weren't "racing" side by side, but you know damn well they at least following one another, hauling ass, and they died as a result. C'mon bro!

I can tell nothing about those pics.....who knows what the speed limit was....I'm just saying you can't condemn anybody from those pics...

When I hear the story, I'll be the first to slam, but until then it's anyone's guess imho....

Fair enough, I'll not engage in condemnation - yet. But my instincts, training and experiences in being on literally hundreds of accident scenes in 16 years LE work leads me to the strong initial supposition that these guys weren't out for an evening stroll to Starbucks while riding at 35 or 40 mph. The deformation of both the cage and the two bikes, the level of intrusion the bikes realized, the multiple fatalities, etc. all point to one thing and one thing only.

I call 'em as I see 'em. Dead street racers.



Oops, I guess that's condemnation, huh?
