investigated a fatal accident yesterday where I guy was coming thru my city at Break-neck speed (no pun intended...) and a women pulled up to a stop sign and looked right and saw a bike coming but didnt realize how fast he was going. she proceeded to go straight and then realized that he was traveling faster then she thought he was and tried to accelerate thru the intersection and the operator on the bike clipped the rear of her bumper and went head over heals and smashed his head.
his head looked like someone dropped a watermellon from a 30 story building. would the helmet have saved his life? hard to say but im betting it would have.
if ur gonna ride like an idiot thru city streets expect DEATH. this particular stop intersection is notorious for people just eating the stop sign all together but she did stop but under estimated his speed. he was hauling ass! speed limit was 25 mph and was going probably 60+ mph.
a motorcycle is a smaller mass then a car is and is much more difficult for people to guage ur speed then a car is. ur brain is use to seeing the larger mass (car, truck, etc..) and able to gauge speed much more accurately.
there is a time and a place to let her rip. city street streets is not that place. RIP
