Here are a few pics a of friends riding buddies of mine on a sunday ride about two weeks ago, it was in the paper some may know about it. Perfect example of why not to drive fast on the street, it really is too unsafe of an enviornment to push yourself.
There were four of them riding together comming into a blind turn and the corner got shaper on exit, three of my friends went into oncomming traffic. The first was on the blue cbr1000rr second on the silver R1 and the third on a gsxr1k.
The 1000rr went head on with a BMW X5 at around 40mph, I posted pics of his bike I decided not to post the pics of him only his bike. Its a little too much. :shock: The second to go down was the R1, I posted pics of his leg and his bike. Both were airlifted out. The third was the GSXR1000 he was able to walk away but totaling his bike.
All are very lucky to be alive.
Hopefully some of you will think twice on those back roads and caynon runs you could be the bike or the car.... never know.
