Investigators say evidence shows the cyclist was going about 120 miles per hour at the time of the impact. It took the truck driver more than a quarter of a mile to come to a stop. When he did, he stepped out of his rig and found the motorcyclist dead at the back of the truck.
"The truck driver was not hurt," says Captain Matt Kirkland. "He said that the impact was so strong that he thought he was hit from behind by another truck."

I bet you that was not to long after he may have purchased that bike, I dont think a white jacket can stay that nice unless its near new, maybe im wrong, still sucks non the less.

Aww, that's sad. It cost this man his life. Exactly how he and bike ended up impacting the back, I don't know but it's obvious after impact, the man got stuck and dragged. Look at his feet. No boots. Not even a sock. Maybe he slammed on his brakes all of a sudden to avoid impacting the truck but ended up flying into the back of the truck.
Whoever put this up probably meant to show how dangerous riding on highways could be. Not sick or anything. My mom refused to let us ride our mopeds again after my accident and hearing stories as a hospital admininstrator.

sad to see but stupid for him to do that. The problem with people on these motorcycles is they arent just riding them they are going fast, trying tricks and other stuff on the street with other cars and truck around them. If you wanna do trick go to an empty parking lot at night, if you wanna go fast or race go to the drag strip. I feel bad seeing this but at the same time when you do something stupid like go 120MPH that is out of control. Things come at you so fast at that speed and your reaction time sucks. I cant imagine being the truck driver seeing that after pulling over.

I agree with you Fox and they do it on a busy street like they are showing off trying to impress someone. Common sense should come into play then but it dont... Just be smart and do it in a place where you aint putting other peoples lives in danger. Also i if im not mistaking he lives!!

I dont think helmets are rated for full impact at 120mph.

No what I was saying is i received this as an email but in the email it say that the motorcyclist lived! but it doesnt mean that the version of the story i got wasnt twisted around a lil bit.

i'm in medic right now.
when someone is alive, their feet don't usually curl up like that. Also, if the ambulance was there and the guy was alive...they wouldn't have time to take pics, they'd be busy working him.
Looks like he fractured his cervical spine.
That guy is dead. For sure.

same thing i was thinking, its amazing that at about probably a 60 mph collision(since the truck was goin highway speed about 70-120=50 so give or take) that his bandana was still in his pocket and his hat was still under the strap. the way his head juts forward it looks like that part of his back is broken.

yea, im not selling mine cause some stupid loser tried to see how fast he could go and ended up dead. i have a good friend that was a firefighter and he said 90% of all the fatal motorcycle accidents he responded to would not have been fatal if they had a helmet on and if they were not speeding/acting stupid. he said they rarely got hit by a car or something not acting stupid. its all in how you ride. how many people wrap fast cars around trees and die? it isnt like a drunk driver pulled out in front if him. he killed himself.

stupid loser? i dont agree with that he was doing wat he loved to do he made a mistake, please i know i wouldnt want people to be so harsh about my death if it were like this, im sure you wouldnt either. i know how it feels to read stuff like that when you know the person. but to the others who said "this is why i dont get one" if you want one get one this doesnt happen to everybody who has a bike fox17 is right it was this guys fault and most fatal bike accidents happen due to lack of thinking on the bikers part. so if you want one go get one. eventually i would like to have one as well.

For some reason I just don't feel sorry for a guy doing 120mph on a freeway at night and hitting a semi truck. I have no problem with someone doing 120mph but you better expect to pay the price sooner or later. Looks like the reaper caught up to him. Glad he hit that semi trailer instead of the back of a van with a baby in the back seat.
The guy is an idiot.
