Sad story female rider. Red light rear end 60-70 mph
Just couple hours ago.. There was 15-20 ( I didn't count) of us riding around the city and we were waved down by another group which we was going to join with anyway.. At the corner of that 3 way there lay a 600rr CBR on its side rim is in pieces. So then we turn in to find out what happen.. apparently this lady in her 30 was going home after a good ride, she stopped at the red light and I guess there were two muscle car ******* decided they are going to race. By the time they saw her its was too late, judging by the skit mark the guy didn't even hit the brake until he rear ended her. Car was traveling at 60 to 70 mph. The bike was20 yard away from where it was sitting.. The lady got thrown off the bike I guess she hang on for dear life. She was on her way to the hospital when we got there. They told us that the impact fraser her skull.. Everyone help to load her bike up on the truck. It really ruin everyone ride when we saw that.. I guess to me i wouldn't get back on a bike from a hit like that.. She wasn't wearing a helmet. Later on got word that she will pull through so it's a happy ending.. How ever shockingly the bike fired right up like nothing have happen to it.

One took off and one got arrested.. He can be facing with a big law suit from what i heard. Oh they got him in the van pretty quick.. There was alot of angry bikers around and the only thing between them and him is the police...

well, she is very lucky to be alive and had she been wearing a helmet it sounds like her injuries would have been a whole lot less severe. As for the stupid cagers racing they should get hammered with a big lawsuit.
Speaking of muscle cars I was on a organized ride last Saturday with alot of the vintage dudes. We were stopped at a corner just talking and waiting for others in our group to catch up after a long stretch of twisties when one of our riders in our group just flies by us full throttle on his rd400, a second later we hear screeching tires and see this muscle car jamming on his brakes. Well apparently he was chasing our friend, he stopped and turned around...we were a group of over a huindred riders and maybe 30 of us were sitting there glaring at him.

There was a couple hit by a guy who turned infront of them near me last weekend. It was in front of a bar. A group of people heard the impact and came out to see what happened. The driver left the scene. A bar patron jumped into his car and chased the driver down and proceded to beat the hell out of the driver. He even told police dispatch he was beating the guy when he called it in. The rider later died. And no word about the patron who beat the hell out of the driver as far as charges filed against him. But a year ago the had a police officer killed by a hit and run. He was riding with his brother and the driver rear ended him stopped. Backed up to leave the scene and ran over the officer a second time killing him.

I can relate, since I was red light rear ended 9 weeks ago...details are in my "Rant" thread. I just got my bike back last week, it was totaled as well. But I left some rashed parts on and paid some out of pocket to get my bike back. I was in helmet, leather jacket with armor, boots and levis. Surprisingly, my gear was undamaged, not a scratch. Back and neck injury.
Unfortunately, she will probably have a long recovery. Getting hit by someone going that fast, she's lucky to be alive. Riding without a helmet is just plain stupid. I don't believe in helmet laws, I just think it's kind of a Darwin thing.
The cagers should go to jail.

as for being one of the muscle car meatheads myself... (blown trans am).. i have to say that it's just the certain people that have no respect in riders safety or anyone else for that matter. Before i started riding if i saw a scoot, i would give them plenty of room and not just for error but so they don't feel taunted. those guys should be behind bars and have there license pulled.. as for the girl glad to hear she will pull through, but there is a reason to gear up...

drag racers killed a friend of mine as well, from crashing into the back of his car. I don't understand why the rush of dragging has to involve the risk of dying.
And another friend of mine died when racing a sports bike, when he went to take a corner and his ABS locked up spinning into a telephone pole
