Drinking + immeasureable stupidity + fleeing from the police =







Amazingly the R1 rider survived. Where did this happen? Arizona of course. It's a good thing that the Arizona helmet law is in place and being observed....probably what saved this guys life.

Damn!  Not really sure if I'd want to survive that crash or not...

At that speed it was most likely a 620.

Damn. The only recognizable parts are a chain, part of a muffler and a rear wheel. Didn't know 620s had that much bodywork. [laugh]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Dude, there's a brake rotor in there.

it just looks like a CAT D5 ate a bike and shit it out.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

yeah i have to agree, the person may have "survived" but i'm curious to know if the person is still walking and has all their limbs and such. damn that is one crazy horrific crash.

after reading that link , i don't think that guy will be released out of the hospital except out the back of a hearse, like they say "extremely cricitcal condition"

damn even moto gp bikes that crash going at the same speed don't desintegrate as bad as that bike did, guess the bike hitting a pole at 157mph will do that. i can only find a wheel, a chain and 1 brake rotor in those pictures as anything belonging to a bike. damn.

i think the "immeasurable stupidity" is the overwhelming factor above all else in that equation.

Arizona helmet law?  When did this happen? Or were you being sarcastic?

I don't think I have ever heard of "extremely critical condition"   ;D

I'm pretty sure its the couple minutes after CPR is stopped and the brain achieves complete cell death
