As much of as fault he was for riding a wheelie and all that... i'm sure there's more than that to the story, I mean how close of attention do u think a 15yo girl was paying with a car load of friends... i'm guess not much, judging by most chicks (especially that age) I have seen... Either way it's sad to see that someone lost their life in this....A kid I graduated died like this a few years ago... He was driving UNDER the speed limit and wearing a helmet, not even screwing around... truck and cattle trailer pulled out in front of him and there was nothing he could do... but judging by most ppls reactions on here it woulda been the kids fault, just cuz he had a motorcycle...
Well said Bubba.

I know for damn sure, every last one of you have done something stupid. so stfu bout bikers driving like asshats when most of yall have done it before to. :icon_salut:

Oh i dont know, maybe cause if I got rear ended by a biker doing wheelies,standing on his bike showing off, and I get injured cause of it...i'd be pretty pissed off, wouldnt you be? Or is it my fault cause Im at the wrong place at the wrong time and I should let the guy who drives wrecklessly in traffic do his thing?The girl sure did get physically injured due to this accident didn't she? The argument that motorcyclists doing stupid shit risks the lives of others is pretty much totally bullshit, since 999 times out of 1000 the biker alone is the one that's injured/killed, especially when tangoing with a SUV + teenage driver.

Yeah, that turned out well for Nikki Catsouras too.
http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Nikki_CatsourasIt's great when the keys of powerful/huge vehicles are turned over to irresponsible drivers.
That is disgusting that someone would post that picture

ya, it sounds more like she pulled out in front of him, which is very possible with an inexperienced driver. people make mistakes and neither the girl or the victim should ever have to be put through an experience like this. condolences for both the girl, the victim, and everyone else this has effected.didn't see the collision (but was close enough to hear it), but I did watch him accelerate hard and do a wheelie (then I lost site of him behind KFC) I also saw her pulling into traffic, I don't think she could have anticipated him accelerating that hard....maybe there was a bit of inexperience there, but I don't think she was at fault. A co-worker of mine witnessed it as well (saw the whole thing) said she didn't think the girl was at fault at all in her opinion.
The fact of the matter is if he would have been not fucking around the whole thing would probably have been avoided. How fast do motorcycles accelerate again? 0-to-60 in pretty fucking fast as far as I remember. And whether it is his fault or not, it should serve as a reminder that on a motorcycle you are virtually unprotected and you will lose when you run into someone else....whether it is your fault or not, you will be the one paying for it.

If the issue is that she was 15, well she had a driver's license. Maybe they need to up the age to get a license.Because 18 y/o inexperienced drivers are magically better drivers than 15 y/o inexperienced drivers???
Not buying it. I've been legally driving for 19 years...and I've gotten much better at it with more practice.
Mentally, I don't see much difference between the 15 and 18 y/o people around here....especially when it comes to driving habits...the 22 y/o was driving like an idiot too...so what age should we raise the legal driving age to? 32?

What you're failing to understand is that an 18-year-old driver will have three more years of experience in the seat versus a 15-year-old driver.

none the less, 14 is really stretching the legal age to driveI've been driving loaded grain trucks on public roads since I was 10 or 11....tractors, pickups and other farm machinery for longer than that....as have most of my friends that grew up on farms.
The age limit at 14 is just fine for me.
