I feel sorry for the car driver. By no fault of their own. This will haunt them the rest of their life. Peace. D

    Nice way to start the morning. :|
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Hard to watch. No sound? Looked like suicide to me. On the other hand, how can you not hear a motorcycle coming from quite a distance? It wasn't a chopper so should've had some maneuverability.

    You really cannot put any of the blame on the car driver here. The closing rate at the speed that motorcycle was going was ridiculous

Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same.

    As a rider who enjoys fun runs on occasion, I have zero sympathy for the rider in this situation. The only thing tragic here is what he put the driver and passenger of the car through.

    I initially read the chase on this led to speeds of 130mph and estimated 80mph at collision. Probably shouldn't jump to character judgement conclusions, though. I suppose it's possible the bike he stole had a stuck throttle.

    A place to relax and talk about your day.

    Or, have a chance to watch a video of someone meeting a violent death in a motorcycle crash. Yeah, that's relaxing. :/

    Shoulda had a judges panel there with cards. Those were some speedy cartwheels. A buddy thought he was gonna stick the landing on the roof of a nearby building and complete his escape, thumbing his nose at the cops.

    Scott I had to go back and watch closely to see if he was wearing pants or shorts. The g-forces ripped them right off'em. I'm more than surprised they were not dis-intangling him from the overhead wires.

    That was insane!

    He gets a point for nailing the overhead street sign.

    YouTube removed the full length video showing the aftermath. This one is the best I found.

    ^^ why, was the first one not enough? The man is gone, nothing left to stare at but a corpse.

    I gotta admit that street sign up that high is crazy.

    Wow, that is the stuff nightmares are made of. If you want to go out in a blaze of glory, leave the rest of us out of it. People at that intersection will be haunted by the things they saw today.

    I don't think they should censor videos like this. People should see what happens when you make poor decisions.

    I can't help wondering, though, whether I'm being too harsh and this guy was just a victim of a conspiracy and rushing to save someone, like Warren Beatty in Parallax View, and the car people got in the way.

    I doubt you are being too harsh. It is extremely unlikely that this situation is the result of a series of rational well though out decisions. Possible, but extremely unlikely. It is much more likely to be the result of totally irrational fight or flight thoughts combined with a lack of self control.

    I am definitely not trying to start an argument about policing, but there are at least two sides to any "chase".

    I,myself, don't give a ....(have to moderate my language)..hoot that this guy moon launched himself and splatted himself all over a building wall.

    People in the car okay ?
    They have insurance ? Yes !
    Then it's all good.

    "But children in the car will be traumatized !"

    Really ? Maybe yours if you hoot and holler and roll around on the ground because YOU act "traumatized"

    Me ?
    "You guys okay ? Thank God, that's all that matters.
    Now that guy that hit us is deader than dead because he was driving like an idiot.
    Don't be an idiot"

    There's the famous quotation:

    ""Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee." ― John Donne"

    With all due respect,Mr. Donne, there are exceptions to the rule.
