Default 155mph bike crash... (not graphic)






The Honda rider was traveling at such a "very high speed", his reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. Swedish Police estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h (155mph) before the bike hit the slow moving car side-on at an intersection. At that speed, they predicted that the rider's reaction time (once the vehicle came into view) wasn't sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes. The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 10 feet from where the collision took place.


All three involved (two in car and rider) were killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair by the Swedish Police and Road Safety Department. The sign above the display also noted that the rider had only recently obtained his license.

At 250 KM (155 mph) the operator is traveling at 227 feet per second. With normal reaction time to SEE-DECIDE-REACT of 1.6 seconds the above operator would have traveled over 363 feet while making a decision on what actions to take. In this incident the Swedish police indicate that no actions were taken.

THEY HAVE BEEN PUT UP

perhaps..you should look for new fresh photos & ideas but in your

defence.. ..ME SAYING THAT

WE HAVE ALL seen most pictures new things are hard to come by and bb threads

too..i was looking @ scoobynet the other night ..most threads are alike to here ..EVEN MY spider one

ive robbed a few pics off sites but never bothered to rob a thread title

but at the end of the day MOST ideas are used up now i think

apart from the tuners @ there mates posting up specs

and mates having banter ...

if that was a true 155mph, there would be nothing left of the bike at all - i'm going on around the 100mph mark for that impact

As said, done and dusted.

It's an VFR750R RC30 and I don't believe the impact speed personally either, I'd guess at nearer 120mph.

I found another site claiming 200mph

Hay i got bikes i never said it wasn't the car drivers fault, the thing is bikes are harder to see and they don't always make it easy for them self aswell. i always move over for them, i thinks it stupid them capping the bike noise at 75 Decibles think how many more will be killed since u can't hear them.

Here my getting some Air Time
