Re: Horrible accident on Bonney Rd. 2 bikes involved
I love all the justifications, scientific facts, and the rest of the bullshit that has been typed in this thread.
My dad has been in two major motorcycle accidents:
1.The first a guy pulled out and my dad took out the front left fender, most of the hood, and the bike did the rest. On his way over the car, he managed to squeeze his gas tank about 4 inches thinner than it was before. He was doing the speed limit of 35.
2. The second time he was re-ended at a stop by a car doing slightly over 40 and destroyed the front end of the car, new hood and windshield.
The sheer physics of this whole equation have not been answered yet:
1.Speed of the riders
2. Speed of the Durango
3. Weight of the riders
4. Weight of the Durango(easily answered)
5. Weight of the bikes (thats easily answered)
not to mention the fire, and the twisting of the metal as the fire department cooled the fire.
I doubt they were speeding. An R1 does not denote the fact that they were. Bonney Rd is an awesome drive, one I wouldn't waste on 100+ mph.
Stop making dumbass assumptions and let the dead rest in peace.

I swear some people on VaDriven are such ass-hats. They can make anything a argument? You could say the sky was pretty blue today and they would reply, " Well really it was blue with a tint of orange and purple, so there for your statement is false and you are a idiot." Then they would end it with i am great and never am hipicritical... Its just a tragedy and just let it be that.

I'm sure that was relaly traumatizing to see but don't get caught up in it and let it hurt your feelings. You did all you could and probably made a huge difference when you ran out there to help.
But honestly hearing shit like this really makes me think twice about making a motorcycle purchase in the near future. I just don't know if it's worth the risk for better parking for classes and better gas mileage.
