Kip Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Does a Honda VFR 400 do 155mph?? The 750 I had would only just nudge 140mph. Still, just goes to show, give a boy a mans toy and it'll end in tears. It's the cars occupants and family I feel for, ok go out and rag it and kill yourself but to take two people with you............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 May be terminal speed. If the bike was doing 120mph and the car was doing 30mph then they're gonna meet at 150 (not sure about that coz I can't get on the site to see what was said) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardiffSupra Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Driver of that bike must have been in one hell of a mess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 thats terrible but has anyone read the thread about it? My God don't they go on!!! Bitch bitch bitch whinge whinge whinge Note that everyone blames teh biker- could well have been the car that pulled out. Obviously the biker would still be at fault for speeding but it's a bit harsh to presume it's his fault entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRoy Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Jesus! I presume the car pulled out cant see how else it would end up in the car!!! Mind you (400 probably tops out at 130 on a very good day) doing any speed on a bike approaching side roads or junctions with no abilty to avoid blind car drivers is stupid, causing death of a family just adds to the anti bike lobby and to hit the car straight on makes me wonder what the hell the rider was doing??

dangerous brain Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Mate of mines mk1 golf was whacked in the back from the side by an exceptionally fast travelling big touring bike thingumy. The rider had a a bit of a flying lesson and the back end of the golf was all but cut right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Ouch. repsects to those that dieds family, those pics getting viewed all the time I wouldn't like it. They must've consented to have it displayed like that. Perhaps to warn others of the dangers of driving too fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 repsects to those that dieds family, those pics getting viewed all the time I wouldn't like it. Never thought of it that way Suppose if it helps slow people down I'd be "okay" with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 It T-boned the car at an intersection. That's a typical bike problem unfortunately, the car driver cannot estimate how quickly the bike moves (bike's small frontal area doesn't help either) There's no way this bike did 150mph, but it was still going too fast on a road with open junctions...
