Actually, they did that on their own in Japan and they didn't want to bring me along, that was an impromptu scene, as were many others where I wasn't along. Also, if you look closely, they are quite drunk, ditto for the paper cut scenes.

I'd hate to be the guy that had to clean up that mess....

If you were a Marine in Iraq, that type of clean up would be commonplace. Not meant to be political, just a fact. Combat vets make the best Medical Examiner van drivers.

i pitty that guy more then the dead guy , at least he died with his boots on having fun , didn't see it coming and lights out 2 secs later... that's not a bad way to go, beats choking in yer own vomit anyday

I guess they don't call'em zoom splats fer nothin

Well the blaze and noise boy, he's gunnin' that ***** loaded to blastin' point
He rides head first into a hurricane and disappears into a point
And there's nothin' left but some blood where the body fell
That is, nothin' left that you could sell
just junk all across the horizon, a real highwayman's farewell
And he said "Hey kid, you think that's oil? Man, that ain't oil that's blood"
I wonder what he was thinking when he hit that storm
Or was he just lost in the flood?

R.I.P. dude. At least you were doing something you loved.

Thanks for the rather graphic smack in the face with reality.

Well, since I have decided not to watch it, can someone describe it for me? Was it on the street?

It was still pics of the accident scene. Rider was literally torn into several pieces. Very graphic pictures showing upper torso still in jacket while lower body was not present. What appeared to be an arm or a leg lying beside helmet and boot. Head was seperated into two just above the nose.

G-forces and inanimate objects tend to leave a mark on the human body at 174 mph.

Do you think seeing those pics will make difference in your behavior? In recent years I have slowed down a bit on the street and will probably take it back another notch. The thought of becoming several chunks of hamburger really does not bother ME too much. I would not want my family to have to collect those leftovers. I guess we need to make choices we can live or die with and not kid ourselves because that is what we do. My track season starts in a few months and I will be throwing it down as hard and fast as I can. Being immortal has it's advantages :)

I take it you have never set foot in ogrish.com...Keep it that way.

Thanks for the description. I thought it was a video. I have too much empathy to deal with watching someone die live. The still pics I can handle.

O.K., yeah that was gruesome, but I've seen worse.

Poor bastard...... R.I.P.

It will change my driving habits. Not that I drive fast to begin with but I will now save my speeding for autocrosses.

Thanks for the slap of reality.

Just the mention of that site reduces my appetite.
