Crash pics

[Guest]

First off i would like to give my condolences to anyone here who has lost a relative in an accident.
Seeinging these pics made me think how quickly life can change in a split second, and i was hoping that anyone on this board who rides a bike without gear or recklessly who also see the same view.
Do u guys think its a real pic? It's hard to tell.

yes it's a real pic. It was taken outside of mexico city last year by a member of the press who witnessed it first hand. Real or not though, I think you should at least edit the title of the post to include "WARNING GRAPHIC PICTURES" I'm surprised after you've been asked so many times that you haven't done it yet. Please be considerate of some of the members of this board who may not want to look at them.

As stated above, you ought to at least modify the post and write down some sort of warning about that.

It's sad and I'm sorry it happened, but I sure as hell know if I got killed in a crash, I wouldn't want a link to my dead body to appear on some forums like that. I also agree that it was posted just for the shock value and to get a rise out of people.

Sure it's a warning and all, but have respect for the dead, man.

I am sorry. I have removed the link. And yes as well as warning people about the dangers of a bike there was a shock factor. I also thought they were fake, but i am leaning towards believing they r real pics and thats why i have totally removed them.
Sorry again!

no hard feelings or anything.....just for the sake of good taste any crash photos posted should be of just wreckage...leave the dead out of it.

Hi Jeff

I posted them with some educational purpose intended.
I also posted them to send u a message as u ride a bike. I think u should stop riding as even though u might be careful, some idiot could hit u. Also some idiots who want to street race coould hit an innocent biker and kill him.
I won't post them again. Shall I email them to u since u have not seen them?

With this mentality you would think that we shouldnt walk on the sidewalk just in case some crazy guy could run up on the curb and kill us....Or maybe we shouldnt drive a car just in case a bus goes out of control and sideswipes our car....I think more people are killed in cars than on motorcycles each year..I ride a Ninja like Jeff does and I think that with any type of transportation you take risks...Just some more than others.

Hi CJThor

Like u said, "more than others". A bike is very very dangerous and chances of injury are higher. More people die in car cause more peeps use them. I strongly URGE u to sell your bike for safety sake. Shall I email u the pics, maybe that will help u make your decision. The world needs nice people like u an Jeff and I am just doing my best. I would hate to see either of u hurt

Hey Darren,

Fair enough. U have a very ggod point. I shared the photos and thats the end of it. I have an mx-3. I just dropped in a ZE and I believe u replied to my thread of black smoke and lagging at 5k. Turns out the exhaust was too restrictive. Put in a 2.5"cat-back runs wicked. Hopefully the guy who offered to buy my prelude will pay and pickup on thurs then i have more money to get a prm etc and some boost
