Naked Rider
Mods this may not be in the right section but I need to get this on the forum. Please move if in the wrong section.
This did not happen to me but to my 2 cousins who were riding an Fz6.
Four days ago while riding his 4 month old 2007 Fz6 with his cousin on the back he was in a terrible accident. He was illegally overtaking a slow moving truck on a two way road, one lane in either direction. As he was doing this an old man crossing the road sees him coming and starts to run across trying to make it in between 2 parked cars on the other side. He is doing about 120km = 75mph (stupid) in a 40mph zone. He starts to brake and cannot swerve left into the opposite lane due to oncoming traffic so he tries to swerve to the right to avoid the old man. Unfortunately he hits the old man sending him flying 2 car lengths down the road. The bike continues to rear ending an illegally parked car and then the bike rotates and slams the right side into the back of the parked car. As a result of the first impact into the back of the car the passenger is launched over the driver over the parked car hitting the parked car with his hands which made him flip in mid air and finally landing in a field. The passenger (not wearing a helmet) (STUPID) is not hurt. The driver wearing a helmet and padded jacket is hurt in the worst way known to man. When the first impact happened the passenger's weight is directed to the drivers back which forced him up against the gas tank of the bike. The gas tank caved-in from the pressure causing a jagged edge which wounded the driver down under. Yes, he was almost castrated!! His scrotum was ripped open and his testicles were fully exposed and hanging.
The old man is in critical condition with a broken collar bone, broken hip and six broken ribs.
My moron cousin was stitched up and spent 3 days in the hospital. His bike, 4 months old, trashed.
So far everyone in the accident is ok (thank god) but it just goes to show you how one stupid move can result in near death. I know all these details because it was all caught on tape by a convenience store's security cameras.
Please ride safe. The thrill is not worth the pain. When he is able to get his bike from the impound lot I will try to post some pics. I'll let you guys know how the ongoing investigation and lawsuit are going as well.
